im thinking about messing around with the dash lights next...probably red LEDs
the LEDs are going to be too time consuming for what im looking to do
instead, i bought some bulb condoms from gearbox and started to install them on some of the bulbs...
its been easy so far, last night i did the Cruise Control, SunRoof, and Mirror switches
Yup, those are the easy ones. Let me know if you have any issues when you get to the cluster and center console as those two are the most difficult. You can also just check out my DIY I did a long time ago as well, good luck...

Don't worry about it too much. Compared to the other areas it is harder but not too hard. The hardest part is taking the bezel (that black piece around and in front of the plastic gauge cover) around the gauge area off as it takes a lot of muscling which feels like your going to break it, don't worry just keep yanking. If you do break it (I've never heard of anyone breaking it though) it's like $8-$10 at Tempe Honda. After that, it's so easy because you just twist the bulbs in the back off and slip the cover on. Here's some tips I should have added to my DIY...
1. Instead of scratching the paint off with an exacto knife just rub paint off with 100% cotton towel and some alcohol.
2. When putting needles back on just place on at zero/plastic stop point ever so slightly that it's barely on, you don't need to go through all funky stuff others have said, this always works.

Be careful w/ this piece, if I remember correctly there are two or three clips you'll need to bend in order to pull up. You'll need to make sure all screws are taken out before doing this, afterwards you'll need to pull up and slowly jiggle to the point of breaking.

ive got it all torn apart but the window-lock button is holding it together still...
i cant seem to get it opened up
he added a whole new set-up and then ran wires...
i simply desoldered the OEM LED bulb from the board and then resoldered the new LED bulb in its place (looks OEM again)
*gearbox seems to think that mine will burn out faster than his because im using OEM products mixed with non-OEM products*
