Well, i mean the Si and the civic emblem, the H can stay

I have a Carbon Fiber (or should it be Fibre in Canadaland? XD) honda emblem, which looks nice
Sorry, i just had to haha :P

DarkSouljur

ur a dick! You knew damn well i wanted that emblem when i found out u had it just had to rub that in my face lol. I like the si though, i know it's not a REAL si, but it is in canada so i want people to know ... is that so wrong?

Kennykid2002

Lol, i guess...

I just find it a lot cleaner to have it shaved off, i mean you'll be letting old timers know you have a Si, but anyone who knows about vics, see the moonroof should know its a Canadian SI/US EX

I kinda figured it was pointless, and it looked a lot better clean

hehehe

DarkSouljur

Daaaaamn thats clean!

My white LEDs came in today. My center map light is now white, and so is my trunk light! Now i'm waiting for the red ones to come in

MindBomber

Post some pics of the leds.

DarkSouljur

Will take pics tonight when it's dark so you can see the difference because my side map lights are still yellow right now. I'm going on a trip this weekend and i'm staying at my friends house tonight, but i'm sure he'll let me use his computer :P

Lopes101

whats the red for? was it hard to change the dome light?

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

He wanted the side maplights to be red lol

Its easier to change dome light than the reverse lights lol

DarkSouljur

Late reply, was out of town.









The map lights i wanted to be red because my cluster is red / white lol. I just want to see how it looks really, if it's not great i'll put it back to normal (besides i never really use the side lights). Waiting till it gets darker to decide lol

I need to order a festoon light now for the back... there's also a white one in the trunk that i haven't taken a picture of yet

DarkSouljur

Night:



A blurry picture to give u an idea of how well they work

stimulisRK

Nice LED's! Where'd you buy them?

DarkSouljur

eBay is your friend! I got them for like $1.50, comes with two. But make sure you get the right ones, u don't want to order them then find out it's the wrong size

Lopes101

how do you pull out the dome light? i havent tried and I know im being lazy, sorry guys :P

DS- those look awesome haha good job! red, not my style for lighting, but that looks ill.

small flathead, shove it inside the little wedge between the clear and plastic. pops right off

DarkSouljur

Yeah i'll change them eventually, but i never use my side lights and wanted something different so i keep them on at night when i'm driving just for looks

Lopes101

thanks kenny. DS- HOW did you install LEDs on the maplights??? i have these little weird bulbs in there... not a slot for a T10...

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

Pull out the bulbs, tada, T10 wedge slot :P

Lopes101

maybe I need to get you a picture, it is not like the reverse light slot at all. Almost like a mini fluorescent bulb (the long tubes). Would you be able to throw up a picture of yours??

you must have the lx. not as many choices but if you want white, the luxer1 leds are the best for that style. check ebay. i have the long tube ones in the rear dome and 194 in the front. perfect match.

dont let the price scare you, they should last forever made in japan and are uber bright. there are 2 in a pack.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LUXER...item3f0a40d9e8

and the 194 version

and a special license plate version thats angled down

Lopes101

I have a DX, im sure i can rig the LEDs to work, when i twist them in the slot I can make contact and have it light up. So maybe I will try something creative. Thanks for the links, I am checking those out now.


@gearbox, do you know what size I need for my DOME light? It is a bigger bulb.

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

Get a pic up, i've never seen the DX bulbs

I'll get you a pix of mine later on today, after work

Lopes101

BULB IN



BULB OUT

Hmm, oddly enough, I think i have the correct size bulbs for yours. it's a 12 SMD LED one too.
Measures 31mm

I'd send em to you, if you werent in the french colonies :P

Lopes101

haha thats pretty cool, I dont think something like that with a chip board that large would ft in there though. No worries i picked up a pair off ebay for 2.25 free shipping.

Shift-E

The bulbs look like they should carry some green ooze that, when makes contact, will turn turtles into teenage mutant ninja.

Lopes101

Haha I really did laugh when i read that, They do look like that :P

Shift-E

Lol, glad I could do so! That's what I was aiming for

Lopes101
