still need help with the site???.. I have a set of the blue ones if you want those… … I have done the swap in blue before and got sick of it so I changed over to the high power AMBER bulbs to make the numbers look even. Here are some pics of both. I Haven’t Seen Any pics of an amber cluster so I’ll post mine up.
here is a pic of how it looked when it was blue and white .
Ok I am about to order my bulbs and I want to make sure I get the brightest ones I can get and keep the light even across the gauges. :read:
On the 24’s, should I get the Tri Power 4 LEDs ($7) or the Super Star’s ($5)?
On the 194’s, should I I get 4 Star SMT ($8), or the more expensive of the 2 Super Stars ($8)?
I plan on using 2 regular white 74’s for the top.
Does dimmer function work with LED bulbs? I do alot of rural driving at night and I need to dim them so I can see the road better.:danger:
I will be ordering from http://superlumination.com
just installed mine in i did super white numbers and red needle ill post pics tom. of my finished interior including my custom ashtray Ipod dock!!!:dance:

I can’t tell you which bulbs to order, but yes you can dim the LED bulbs.
ok i really want to do this but i am confused with all the numbers for the leds. i have the reverse glow faces and i want to put some white leds on the top and blue leds in all the buttons in the dash. also blue behind the odometer and trip meter. can someone tell me exactly what leds to order so that i dont have any mess ups when i go to put this all together. also its a 93 integra ls manual. thanks…

:bump: I figured I would … since I was looking to do this to my car in the very near future Seeing as I get paid tomorrow Im gonna order some bulbs !! just dont know what color combo Im gonna do yet …I’ll sleep on it Nice write up Thanks for the info… I love G2IC -EnjoiVtec
been a member for a week now so i can finally post!
been wanting to ask about this swap, but got all the answers i needed by emailing some folks and reading every single page of this thread i dont know how many times.
switched from white to green! ill post some pics tonight.
also soldered for the first time, got those climate controls to work again (all the joints worked on the first try through!) :rockon:
Alright, just decided to make a build thread. I’m too lazy to repost the pics, so if you wanna see my before/after pics check out my build thread! Note:changed from stock to green! love it!
Painted my needles out of my cluster and I received my leds. I won’t be able to show any pictures yet though. My whole interior is torn apart so I won’t be able to plug it in and see how it looks yet. But when I do I’ll be sure to take some pictures.

Without
I painted the needles with a fluorescent yellow, and I also outlined some of the other random things on the cluster. I goofed and ended up erasing all the color and writing off of the three little plastics on the cluster (i.e. cel, turning signals, trunk light, etc…) So I taped over it with some blue tape I have laying around. I have no idea what the name of the tape is but I took it from work a few years ago and I’ve just had no use for it. Until now. I had to use two layers of it to give it a nice blue tint when lit. Otherwise it didn’t look blue at all. I have a uv flashlight laying around and when the light is on the whole face it looks damn nice. I’m just not sure how it’ll look with only two uv bulbs shining at it from the top because I also erased off all that black stuff shielding the light on the blue plastic. So we’ll have to find out eventually some time how I’ll direct the light, I just added some reflective material to the back of the plastic piece so it’ll have a bit more shine. Well, heres the leds in the package it came in. Yes I ordered an odd amount. Only so I can toy around and see how the leds look and see if I could add them anywhere else. I might also go and buy some regular leds for each climate control button but I’m not sure If I want to go through that whole hassle or not.
Alright so I’m having a case of insomnia and I was really wanting to find out the looks of the cluster with the paint and see what else I might need to do.
Here’s a few thumbnails. Click for a larger picture.
The bulb on the right was plugged in the wrong way, So I switched that around.
