These are custom lights for the climate control and whatnot, I'll include the list when I post it up, they're looking awesome!! Just gotta get one last one working and its done :p same site for the bulbs btw

I also did a wiring diagram for the neons for you that I'll add to the first post going over basic neon info :thumbs up

Oh wow, that wiring diagram makes so much more sense ahah. But so how do I run the wire from my battery through the dash to the switch and stuff? Do the interior covers come off really easy so I can access the wire terminals?

You won't be pulling power right from the battery, more like your cig lighter, optional 12v fuse plug under dash etc. Fuse plug is accessible without removing anything, just look under the dash. This is the creativity I'm talkin about first post lol. And yes, easy to remove. Look up a write-up on removing center console for integra and you'll get all the info you need. :thumbs up

Oh okay, thanks!

Also, my cluster LEDs just came in! Installed em and they look soo awesome!


Sadly my phone camera has some colour issue, the green is actually darker and less... yellowy? I guess that's what you'd call it.

And do you think these neon bars would be fine? I don't know much about LED brands, but it's off Amazon so I guess it's alright? http://www.amazon.com/Vision-HIL-M12G-Green-LED-Light/dp/B000ES6MT6/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1304635059&sr=8-33

Thanks! And yeah I know it's just I don't have the steadiest hands so I was afraid to open up my cluster and get the needles off and repaint and everything. I might go back some other time and do it, but for now I don't think red looks that bad, right? :p

Removing my tail lights today was "jumping in and doing it" for me! Hahaha I'm a total noob, but that's alright I've only had her for three and a half weeks! Anyways tomorrow the jump in and do it will be snipping the cigarette lighter adapter off the neon wires, finding the ground and power wire and distinguishing them, grounding it, making a switch and everything. Should be fun!
