Alarm LED hole...

I want to relocate my alarm LED but if I do there will be a little hole... so my question is... is there any way to get rid of this hole?

Where do you have the light mounted at now? if they put it next to the cruise control button or in the 'box' looking piece next to your cig lighter, you can just order a new cover plate or whatever they are called from honda...i can't iimagine they would cost that much because they are only like one inch by 2 inches.

Just go to Honda and order a new one. I had the same issue w/ my alarm led, plus it only costs like $5 or $10 (sorry can't remember, it wasn't much though).

Yea I had the same thing with my 6th gen. I just took it out & left the hole there, bugged the crap outta me but I traded it in soon after.

Sorry, I have no solution, just thought I would share a similar situation, plus I was pondering the same question for some reason.

Yeah, some stuff is cheap but other things are really expensive. I bought 2 gauge bulbs from them which cost the same amount as buying HU fastners (13 of them). Oh well, I know its cheap since I bought three in car dash parts (fuse cover, hood latch cover, and gauge bevel) for $20.

Check out this link for the part you need to replace.

I put in a '02, ex, 5sp from the pull down menus.

I don't know whether you are talking about the box just behind the steering wheel or the area between that box and the speedometer/tach....

Either way, you are looking at $4-12 bucks so no big deal. It will most likely be cheaper to buy it from the local dealer. Majestice charges ~$5handling charge and then adds shipping. So, that $4 part ends up being $15 when it gets to your doorstep.

If the part cost $4 online, your local dealer will probably charge 4.15. NO shipping, no handling, nothing...they will usually even next day it for ya at no charge....

What do you want to do now?, you could fill the hole with bondo and paint it to match, yes it will still show but not as bad as a hole
