Rep Power: 788 can you tell the difference?
Well I changed something, the temp **** is from the 04 hybrid civic. just didnt like the old red/blue thing and it looked terrible at night compared to the rest of the dash. I'll post a night pic later. Only prob is the dial is a bit silvery compared to the other two, i was thinking of swapping out the other dials too, but then the icons wont match whats on the dial. so i think im keeping it like this. its not too noticable unless you stare at it.

Rep Power: 788 um ya i just put orange leds in. at first they were waaay too bright so i added some resistor and now it looks more like stock, however they are more intense and dont wash out like stock does everytime you pass under a streetlamp lol. i'll have a night pic of everything tonight.

Rep Power: 788 well not as bad as last night when i had a flashlight and the whole middle dash ripped up playing with wires
okay heres a semi night pic, that lil blue part does not light up at all, and the other light is evened off even tho it looks like one icon is faded. its cause the stupid blanket wasnt big enough. its pure dark orange like halloween. the pic came out pretty good actually and close to what they look like in real life

Rep Power: 788 thanks i thought about doing amber too but they were too yellowish and light color. the orange worked the best imo. i had white/blue/green but kinda played out already. i didnt do the fog/mirror/roof area cause i couldnt get them to look the same color and brightness due to some having green paint on the icons.

Rep Power: 788 its just the middle piece, the other two would not match because it also has an auto setting so it would be one icon off. its just like the other dials, it has that film piece behind it (blue/green for sedan) THAT YOU CAN TAKE OFF AND CHANGE TO RED OR WHATEVER. I HAVE MINE OFF SO THE LEDS SHINE THROUGH AND ITS NICE AND BRIGHT. UGh STUPID CAPS LOCK
