And a pic of the ride:

 

nice one color would have been really nice

 

wow...that shiz is bright! nice work

 

good job....

 

nice! did you have to solder all the leds?

 

car looks very nice.

where did you get the chrome shift gate ?

 

*faint* Ive always loved your car and this just makes it that much better. Clean

 

looks nice i still need to do mine..

 

Where did you get the Chrome knobs for the fan?

This shot is SEX

 

Write up please!!!!
Damn..I didn't even know the sunroof switch lit up..LOL

 

Car looks fantastic. Good work with the LEDs.

 

Thanks guys! Im not gonna touch the radio, its too much work, if I do do it, im gonna let someone else do it for me.

damn i just noticed i still had my camera in macro mode for the random shots...oh well.

no soldering, all pnp.

I had my OEM shift plate chromed by a shop.

I got the polished aluminum knobs used from someone in BM.

I know, i love that shot too!

haha, yeah sunroof switch lites up, time to replace ur bulbs!

It was fairly easy to do, I bought all the bulbs from autolumination.

 

Great work. Where did you get the pnp bulbs from?

 

which bulbs did you get? i want all red

 

dammit.. i need to get off my butt and do this.. x_x

 

PNP now thats what Im talking about no soldering at all....

 

yo this looks good n all...but looks like a pain in what sits on my toilet

 

very nice

 

looks pimp bro

 

i like that a lot, great job, if i do that it will match my after market radio which lights up blue.

about how long will it take to do all that?

 

Thanks!



I got them from autolumination.com

I got the type #74 bulbs from autolumination, here:
http://autolumination.com/74.htm

huh?

Thx, im not sure if it will match, but if its blue, it should be pretty close.
It took me many tries to get it right, altogether i think 3-4 hrs in a span of like a yr. took a lot of experimenting with diff bulbs.

 

#74 worked in all the switches? Or did you have to mess with them to fit? Cuz I know the foglight switch bulbs and cruise switch bulbs are a little dif from each other..don't know bout sunroof switch cuz didn't even know it had bulbs..just thot Acura had cheaped out on the last switch..

 

NICE JOB. !!!!!! whats it any sordering involved

 

when you're driving at night, do the console led's hurt your eyes? cuz they look like they're a bit excessively bright, but they look hot.

 

did you buy the first ones on the site or which ones

 

like i said before, your gauges look awesome. matter of fact all of it looks awesome.. especially for PnP.

this is definitely getting done this summer

 

yup, but you need different sizes, take out the OEM bulbs and measure them.

Nope not too bright at night, i think its perfect.

I bought the frist ones from a member here, but i bought brighter ones on the site.

 

looks sick.. i did it with the bulbs from autolumination too and they ended up dying in a few months.

i'll sell you my oem led hu if/when i get a double din

 

Great mod...hope your LED's last.

I bought another gauge cluster to mess around with and then "chickened" out.

Project is on hold now.

 

are you planning to do a writeup, volly? i think a lot of people will be interested

 

gaping46n2 over on the CL side did a DIY for pnp bulbs. if anyone wants a diy check there, but its easy to take apart the dash. two screws above the steering wheel and pull.

then everything else is easy as pie

 

Looks good! I hope they don't burn out on you soon. A bunch of mine have.

 

Looks really nice! Are there any hot-spots on the speedometer?

 

x2 !! specially now that i got an indash and it makes all the yellow/green lights look like shit!!

can you still use the "dimmer" switch after putting LED's or will they just stay at 1 brightness at all times?

 

Love it. Still haven't got around to doing mine.

 

Yeah I have that problem as well, ive taken the dash apart so many times i can do it now in like 5 mins or less :p

yeah, they usually last for a good 4-6 months b4 they start to flicker and burn out, but recently i learned a tip, put the dimmer half way and they dont burn out as often.


Subtledreamer already has a DIY writeup out, i just copied him.


yup him as well, hes got the writeup and his radio in LED...im jealous.


yeah these LED are a problem, but try putting the dimmer to 80% or less, it should keep them from burning out often.


Thanks, there are no hot spots.

nope the LEDs still adjust accordingly with the dimmer switch.


thanks. do it up, real easy mod.

 

hmmm... maybe ill see how urs hold up and then jump on it.. about how much did all the bulbs cost all together?

 

That might work for the gauges, but not for the buttons (sunroof, TCS, etc.) and maybe not the HVAC buttons

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

cool, thanks for the info guys
