can you tell the difference?
 
Well I changed something, the temp knob 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.

good change.. the colors were a bit "not right" looking with the new leds

gearbox 10-01-2006 11:26 AM

ya even worse in person, it looked alot dimmer and purple lol. youll see the new pic tonight it will all be matching. and i blocked off that lil blue piece so just the red comes on.

i think it looks pretty good during the day, just wanna wait and see the night pics

I like the way it looks. Lets see them nighters.

looks good in the day. Its cool that it shows you the temp.

drew22mader 10-01-2006 11:55 AM

Its a knob! lol

gearbox 10-01-2006 12:31 PM

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.

I always say, it's the little things that make a vehicle unique...stuff most poeple don't even notice but an entusiast would! Nice :tup:

CivicsRdBest 10-01-2006 02:52 PM

:eek: I want a mod like that! that looks nice.

gearbox 10-01-2006 03:14 PM

i just dont like how its not a perfect match, but it looks so much better at night. okay even tho its still daylight lemme see if i can take a blanket out and snap some pic haha!

RHCP0801 10-01-2006 03:16 PM

hahahaha i can only imagine what your parents or neighbors think when they see you out there with a blanket and a camera :roflmao:

gearbox 10-01-2006 03:30 PM

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

i like it, looks good

gearbox 10-01-2006 03:40 PM

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.

crazyasian 10-01-2006 04:17 PM

looks cool. was the middle one the only one u changed out of the 3? wouldnt mind having that little thing compared to having the ones in the car now. whered u get it? do u know if it sucked with the original lighting? overall looks like you did a good job

gearbox 10-01-2006 04:35 PM

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
