[runner406]

Whats that ? U want something diffrent ? Yep i did to , i took the green dash and preformed a light modd i removed the cluster pulled the stupid green lense from the top of the light display ,two silver screws and it lifts off , removed two bulbs in four light harness the two bulbs i left in i took and lightly sprayed with a clearish orange tint hobby paint , and re installed the cluster minus the green lense and two bulbs , four bulbs were way to bright it killed the green tint on the numbers , what do you guys think ? I love it , its cheap easy modd 20 mins

By the way the lower the dim setting is the more green you see its cool how it looks very dim

I just ordered Blue Led lights for mine from SpeedBrightled.com I have the EGT Dome light and I ordered the blue lights for the dome light along with the two map lights. They should be here around the end of next week. Ill post pics.

I tried to change the bulb size and play with the analog cluster, but gave up when I saw the digital one. Some day I will install my orange digital cluster.

I didnt know the tach cluster came without a trip odometer

I'm gonna remove the upper light bar and replace it with a diffused LED strip or fluorescent bar, then replace the backlight bulbs with blue LEDS and paint the orange needles with luminescent blue paint.

Of course, after I get a damn white face gauge set.

Where to get a white face ??? I looked never saw one ? And it has a odometer push button it was dark u just cant see it

I think the white numbered gauges came in 90+ EFI cars.

The fluorescent light bar I was thinking about is $10 on eBay, and you wire it right into the leads on the cluster board. You put black tape over the half that doesn't face the hole, then sand the exposed portion with 1,000 grit sand paper to diffuse the light some so it's not so sharp.

Last, file out the holes on top of the cluster so it's a single, long hole instead of one over each gauge. that will make the light even over the entire gauge face instead of highlighting each of the larger gauges.

Nah, did it on my Civic a little different than that, but never took pics. I'll do one eventually and post it up, but don't hold your breath.

I did about the same thing on mine but didn't think to paint the bulbs. Looks good.

Be careful about painting the needles. The speedo and tach are calibrated to the weight of the needles. A light dusting of spray paint will probably be ok, but dont brush it on. I learned this the hard way
