Everyone falls for VTEC fluid!

The clusters are so similar, I expected Honda to streamline the manufacturing process as much as possible.

streamlining makes sense to us, but for them it's about being able to charge more money for another part.

sl33pyriceboi,

http://www.lkqonline.com has bunch of MT speedometer at the time I bought my but when I check it, it still has lots though. Use the keyword "civic 04 speedo mt" you should see some.

search stuff like '03 civic cluster' on ebay. and '04 civic cluster' '05 civic cluster' lots of choices. try and find one that matches your current mileage.

 
Rep Power: 285

If you can't find one that matches your mileage tacomaspeedometer.com, resets mileage for $85.

 
Rep Power: 512

dammit.. I wish I knew about them when I lived in western WA state.. I've had my 04-05 cluster sitting around because I couldn't find a shop to match my mileage..

hahaha thanks, but i already have an 05 blue MT cluster swap.

did it before the carputer.

 
Rep Power: 196

i was more looking for a reverseglow gauge or something. not the whole cluster itself. all i really want to do is have blue instead of red.

 
Rep Power: 512

search ebay.. I found my overlay for $20

 
Rep Power: 285

I've been inspired by sl33pyriceboi's dash, I finally started my led mods tonight even though I've had everything to do it since the summer.

Will post pics later, so far I've only completed the 3 lower buttons, but I didn't shave the bulbs enough so they're all stuck on F*CK!!

im a bad ricer influence....

 
Rep Power: 285

Terrible!

I'm using UV leads, extra rice please lol

 
Rep Power: 352

mmmm burnt rice.

 
Rep Power: 812

be careful with uv leds if you value your eyesight lol. many of the good uv leds actually put out wavelengths in the real uv range. if you want the uv look, go with purple leds.

 
Rep Power: 285

Mine were 100 for 99 cents off ebay, I suspect they're actually purple lol

 
Rep Power: 352

u were being serious?

 
Rep Power: 285

Haha some explanation is required I see..

I could decide what colour I liked, so I bought the cheapest LEDs I could find in a few different colours to experiment. My friends been fiddling with some red ones I got and I have blue, yellow, green, UV, white and orange here. Total cost was like $12 shipped..

Once I decide what I like I'll order some good ones.

7th gen LED mods rainbow style anyone?

 
Rep Power: 352

double rainbow??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Rep Power: 285

On a serious note, one of my climate control buttons was working fine when I first put them back into my car. Then it turned off and it won't come back on, tested the LED and it works fine.. any ideas what I did wrong?

I thought I might have gotten the board to hot, but it worked for a few minutes no probs.

 
Rep Power: 352

bad connection. there is a break in the circuit somewhere on the contact area.

 
Rep Power: 285

I'll try to re-soldering it..

I thought maybe it could be a fuse, but then none of the lights would function right.

 
Rep Power: 285

No dice. I still have ac and defrost lighting up and recirc not.

Gonna give up and go to sleep, try to fix it in the morning..

 
Rep Power: 199

What exactly should i be searching for?

 
Rep Power: 512

upon further investigation, there's not as many choices as there were way back when. i'd search for "01 civic reverse glow" or "01 civic guges" or similar.

when I searched for mine, I really liked these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EL-WH...#ht_2578wt_939
but I hated the stupid "Hyper" in the tach section of the overlay..

my orange led dash with cheap 5mm leds is still doing okay since 2006. those buttons were hard to find room for the leds tho.

 
Rep Power: 285

I ground the LEDs down to almost nothing with my dremel to fit them into the buttons and re-soldered one of the joints and its all good now. I'll take some pics in the dark tonight.

 
Rep Power: 512

That's kinda why I went with SMD LEDs. Plenty of room for them to fit

 
Rep Power: 352

what size led did u get?

i used 3mm and had no problems.
