DIY: Change gauge cluster lights/ Under dash neons

[klutchDb7]

Thanks, it was most definitely a Saturday project....and on top of that, i had to learn the hard way on how to re-calibrate the needles upon re-installation. PITA for sure.

Oh, and I am digging your non-vtec wire covers btw. Too bad all my LS motors came from OBD1 cars lol. Wanna make on for this?

I do have an OBD2 vc, i need to finish it, the guy before me had cut the t-belt side completely off.

Yeah that's one thing I had a hard time with myself.

Yeah we tried to make one for it but couldn't really get it to look right after many attempts /:

I just wanted to let the OP know that I just followed this guide and it turned out amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are welcome to cruise in my whip anytime

Well thank you very much sir, glad to have helped :thumbs up

Indy, that looks great!! but damn that sh** looks bright as hell. Can you see out the windshield at night? LOL

I don't think it's as bright as it looks lol

As you requested ! lol



PS: Why is my temp gauge usually dead unless i drive for 15minutes ( Thermostat ?? ) ( the car runs at great performance too... no temp problems

Looks good broski :thumbs up Temp gauge is low because your car doesn't heat up for a few minutes, everyones does it so no worries lol. Welcome to the club btw :thumbs up


I also realized I did not post pictures of how my setup looks now and though it'd share

Ohhh buddy, That looks dirtyyyy !!! ( in a good way lmao )
next step, come out with a guide to remove and installl the new light in the cooling section middle dash ( above the deck )
I waited like 3 weeks for my lights to come in from hong kong and 5minutes to install flawlessly, lmao such a success

That looks awesome! Good job haha, now you're one of three on this site including me and Cole who have underdash neons

I'm still jealous, even though I creeped those pictures on your photobucket a couple weeks ago. I still needa do that to mine. I also want to change up my head liner and door panel upholstery. Put in some black/white plaid or something. Any ideas on how to do it? I've read I should just paste it on with fabric glue, but that seems like the easy way out.

Lol hellz yea, under dash neon ftw :thumbs up lol

Yeah I'll make it so the pics make sense hahaha. and that'd be cool. You will need to remove your whole headliner and then I think a majority of people who do it use fabric glue, but I'd search around the web to see what people say work the best

Use scotch (3m) super 77. I used fabric glue my first time and it lost its stick after a day in the sun.

oh yeah...... the dimmer functions as normal. Now even when the dimmer is all the way down, it is still a little bit brighter than factory. But is really causes me no issues at night.

Oh okay I'll do that then! Quick question, how many yards of fabric do you think it would take to do the headliner, fabric part of door panels and the pillars?

 

[rexpepper123]

i thought there was going to be tail lights an turn signals too nice work tho! those little bulbs are lame sauce

A lot

Nahh those are easy, just find the bulbs on the rear interior and change the bulbs, easy peasy

 

[Boxy]

Oh look who finally decided to put up the HVAC DIY!
Thanks Cole, I'll do this once school's over and I can convince my dad to let me throw 10 bucks on tiny lightbulbs haha.

Also, Y U NO PUT #1 IN SIG?

 

[klutchDb7]

Yeah yeah lol
And it's a bit more that 10 bucks... lol

And fergot, I'll do that in a sec haha

 

[Boxy]

Yeah yeah lol

Eh, maybe 12 then. I don't have cruise control, so no need for the bulb there. And I don't think I'll be doing the dimmer switch either, so minus another two bulbs. And not gonna do hazard button either, so minus one more. Just want the basic HVAC controls done haha.

 

[klutchDb7]

Dimmer switch doesn't have any bulbs.

Those lil 3mm leds, didnt fit in the haz and def switches...the plastic is too long, so i filed it down....got it in there, turned it on, it flashed. I pulled em out turned em around, no light....So...back to normal bulbs in the Haz & Def switch....I did find a even smaller bulb in the brown rubber piece mounted on the side of the haz switch tho... you will love this...any idea what size?
