FT: blue LED dash lights!!
I've decided to go back to a red interior, so I'm trading my blue LED custom dash pieces for your stock red coupe pieces. Trade is for entire assembly. I have hvac control *****, hvac buttons (a/c, recirc, defrost), and cruise/mirror/moonroof. Trade parts should be from a coupe preferably, but I may take sedan parts if I'm desperate.
The assembly will come with red and black wires which you must wire to a power (dash light wire), and ground.
They are about as bright as stock if not brighter and wiring was done by me. The leds are underpowered so they should last extra long.

Rep Power: 811 I've been out of town and just got back thats why I haven't answered. very sorry guys but it turns out after testing, my mirror and recirc buttons do not work. So I would feel bad trading. What I will try to do is sell the leds and resistors circuit separately, so all you would have to do is open up your own and stick the leds in the holes. I'll post pics later and see if anyone is still interested. Thanks! Now I need to get some new switch from ebay or the dealer.

Rep Power: 811 Okay I have two people interested in just the leds. jay78 has first dibs cause he posted first, followed by kickercivic1.
There are 3 separate circuits, each with power and ground wire. All leds and resistors are soldered together. You just connect + to power and - to ground. The first circuit is a 3 led for the dash buttons. The second and third are each 2 led circuits for the rotary *****. You have to put them into the holes such that there are two leds for each bulb hole, and make sure the leds are facing FORWARD and not to the side. For the buttons, one led goes in each hole. Everything is properly spaced and enough wire to do it. I took these out without messing up the connections, so it should go in just the same way.
I'm asking $15 shipped for all 7 leds total. This is very fair considering the leds alone cost me $24 and are hi quality. The resistors are also underpowering the leds, which will make them last even longer. All circuits were tested using a small battery in my room and are in working condition.

Rep Power: 811 One more thing. While you install these, you need to remove the factory color film behind each ****, dial, and button so the blue light can shine through. Its glued on, but you can pry it off carefully with a screwdriver and peel it off.
I also had to trim the plastic case for the buttons slightly to get the wire to fit through so it will close up.
