I am new here, and this is my first post. I am half way through converting my dash to blue led's. Only question is how do I convert my odometer to be blue? I have searched for quite a while and haven't found a solution to that. Any ideas? I have the auto coupe gauges.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you have a 01-02 civic

1) Remove gauge cluster
2) Remove bulb behind odometer
3) Make a blue LED bulb with a 470 ohm resistor (or if you can find a direct replacement.. I just made mine because PnP bulbs weren't bright enough)
4) Reinstall bulb into gauge cluster
5) Reinstall gauge cluster
6) ???
7) Profit

Result:


Note: As you can probably tell, I went a lot further, got myself a gauge cluster overlay, cleared my needles, and finagled LEDs to illuminate the thing. There are only 5 bulbs that illuminate the entire gauge cluster (needles and gauge face), plus one for the odometer.

Yeah I have an 02. Forgot to mention that I guess. Thanks for the help. I just wasn't sure if there was a film on the odometer that needed to be removed before I ripped it all apart. Thank you!

There is an orange film layer, but I didn't bother trying to get rid of it. I'm a little lazy, and that was more effort than I had wanted to put forth.

Oh ok. Yeah I understand that. It's probably a pain to get off anyways.
