Aiight..... Installed the Indiglo guages... and they look amazing! I will have pics of these tonight when its darker

Did the DIY Blue dash, and it wasnt worth it biggest pain in the *** for me...
I was struggling for over an hour trying to pull the dash out... when i realized you have to take off 2 screws first... The instructions didnt say that But, that was also me being an idiot

And also, i dont know how to take this part a-part....


So, i couldnt change the light in that part

Anyways, ill take pics of what i did change blue when it gets darker out!

My friend came over to visit with his new toy, the GSX1300. Here is a pic of it along with my car in the backround... Look at my baby!!!



Will have more pics within 3-4 hours

LOL, it is worth it to change dashlight color, but only if they can really make it come out blue! I did that bulb cover trick but it comes out teal green.

Yes, I agree it is worth it, if you can get your colors to match. I changed the colors in my gauges too, instead of getting reverse indiglos, so everything matched for me The only thing I don't like is that the needles are dim (I can still see them no problem at night, but they're definitely nowhere close to stock brightness. I'm trying to use EL tape to possibly brighten them, but I don't know how it will affect the needle stop points, etc.). Anyways, here's my interior lights after changing the bulb covers (I really like teal/green vs. the the blue indiglo color of reverse indiglo gauges, actually looks like indiglo watch colors)...

some guys were posting pics of nasty stuff, in a lot of threads but an admin came on and removed all the images (thank god) and banned them... Dont have to get into the details...

Actually you wouldn't mess up, since I didn't use led's. I used lamp/bulb covers or condoms, since I too don't want to mess w/ led's. Here's a thread I made awhile back detailing how I did it. Keep in mind it's for 2001 civics though, I don't know if it'll work on 2k2's or 2k3's (haven't tried, but it might still work w/ some minor tweaks).

you wouldnt really need to try it on 2003 since their dash is already blue.
i wonder if anyones asked yet if the 2003 dash would fit in the 2001/2002 console.

Unless this pic's lighting is off or changed/modded, the 2003 gauge lights look white to me...

2003

This pic is from Azure's ride

The 2003 would probably fit 2001/2002 clusters, since they're overall size looks the same (provided the plugs/wires are the same of course).

i think thats just a bad color. this isnt a night shot, so its probably gonna look a bit more blue, but this is a pic from the honda site.

not exactly the same blue as VWs have, but better than white/red i think.

here's a pic of my gauges... still wanna change to the blue leds... but seems like a lot of work and kinda hard...

My bad I forgot Azure changed the color of his gauges, in any case the new 2003 gauges look sweet, especially the chrome outlines. Impulse, sorry about posting unrelated stuff on your thread, I am stopping now.

didnt you use leds instead of gels/condoms? by the AC thingies?

 
Rep Power: 371

Those are the 2003 Sedan Gauges. The coupes have the red rings around them and the Sedans have the blue ring.

If you mean the AC/Def/Heat buttons then I used lamp/bulb covers for bulbs that light up the white part of the buttons. As far as the led's go (you know, when pressing them down they turn green or orange) I didn't bother changing them since those colors already go well w/ my color scheme. Besides if I did that then I may as well change the colors of gas, srs, check engine, etc. lights in the gauges which I have no clue how to do anyways. Although, I did just try putting lamp covers on the led's too, but they just came out way too dim (even w/ just one condom). Plus, I'm too scared to mess with soldering led's.

Impulse, so all together, you used two covers>? On the website you posted, in which section are the covers located? I cant seem to find them
