ok. heres the thing.. this i think is only applicable for 04 civics,, except dx models.. since the lights on our clusters are always on evrytime you drive.,,other than that u wont see anything on daytime.. thats the only problem,. unless ur good and put a mini neon inside hehehehe...

Sick! Kinda like the accord. You really don't see the gauges until they light up.

I like!!

not my thing, but other members would have to use their parking lights ALL the time to see their gauges I guess? people other that 04's which are always illuminated

Oh i get it now. lolz. When i looked at some of the new Lexus's, you can't see anything but when you turn on the car, it's lighted up day and night. I don't know the reason why they do it though.

I actually think it's unique although i wouldn't do it myself. good job though.
