Remember the infamous cluster cluster install by addictiontobass. https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_313584/tm.htm

Well I took it upon myself to try this out. I followed addictions DIY but started to stray off on my own. I hotglued the led strips directly onto the gauge face right behind it because it fit much easier then glueing it on the board. The hardest part was the damn gas and temp gauges. Like addiction said I had to slightly bend the metal "resisters"? I think thats what they were. Well bascially after 3 hours of slow but steady and patient work here are the results. They are amazing. All it takes is some time and patience.

Oh and my camera is terrible at night and the leds are in fact soldered onto the board and can be dimmed. Thanks addiction!


Only two pictures that came out semi-nice. You get the idea.

I'll be working on the center console and other areas now. hate the stock green and yellowish tone to it now.

Edit: the pictures shows alot of minor hotspots but thats due to the camera. Verrryy minimal hotspots in person.

 

Nice rig up, looks pretty good, despite the camera

 

Yeah my camera isnt the best at night, but its a kyocera one that can swivel 180 pointing out and towards you =) its actually pretty neat.

 

what kind of led's did you use?? and where from?my stupid "night glow gauges" -the white faced ones, yea, dont work anymore so when i have time im going to do this. i want the dimming adjustability too...

 

The led strips from oznium.com =) Such a great site making so many more orders soon.its a simple install it just takes some patience.

 

nice tho ya should took some pictures of how you did yours.... so you just glued them to the back of the gauge gace?

i didnt do that cause i figured it would glow more even with a few inches between the two..

 

Yeah thats what I basically did because the strips had a hard time fitting onto the board itself even though the dremel cleared the way. I'll take more pictures of how I did it later on. I'm going to put more sigle leds in there to get rid of some of the hotspots. other then that it looks awesome!

 

you guys and your neat lights

 

i'm next in line to do this you guys just like jhsplaya, my ebam gauges burned out too

oh well, time for a weekend project

 

Looks good!. I still debating to do this or not.
