Experimenting with some LEDs
Fitted some little LEDs to the Coupe's number plate lights and front parkers. Quite a difference to the standard ol' yellow on the wife's CR-V's number plates lights! I am still waiting on some interior dome LEDs to arrive for both cars.

Re: Experimenting with some LEDs
I love them. My entire ep, less the dash lights, have been converted to led. It gets addictive. They use 1/3 the power are four times brighter and last for years.

Added those to my interiors and also the license plate looks great. I wish I had enough skill to do the dash.

Re: Experimenting with some LEDs
yes but i assume LEDs would last longer than the neon tubes. But I don't want to risk all that trouble and possibly breaking them or for them to get stuck on something.

Re: Experimenting with some LEDs
would 50-100 LEDs waste a lot of battery life?

Re: Experimenting with some LEDs
Yea. I figure why go with a x-mas tree this year, when the civic can do it all for me. All I need to do is order some led street glow, and set it to green and red. Then I can use some long tubes to wrap the car. After that it's all ornaments and a star to top it off.

Re: Experimenting with some LEDs
Awesome, I have the same LEDs over my plate. I get a lot of comments on them, and I swear the newer Lexus models come with them...

If anybody wants a good place to buy LEDs go here:

http://www.autolumination.com

The website sucks, but the people are nice and the quality of the LEDs is top-notch.
