oh you wanna do just some toss in bulbs? IIRC for the stock usdm cluster there are two 194 bulbs and two 74 bulbs. The 74 LED bulbs are small though and won't give off much light, that area will probably end up being dimmer than the rest of the cluster because the 194's have a wide variety of bulb types such as a bulb that has 5 leds to illuminate 360* on the sides, and one bulb faces forward. I'm putting loose leds inside the cluster to get better light distribution, but the decision is yours. The integra cluster does good with drop in LEDs since it uses 4 194 bulbs...

This is when I had the auto cluster in there...

Clipsed- thanks man the cabby was fun. I dint have any pics of the rex yet. But here's the run down: alteza headlights, corners, turn signals, tail lights, kill switch replaces the rear garnish, shaved doors, 17's and exhaust out the wrong side. Lol
Your led conversion looks great

Boosted Chemist- the da was a db

Thank you sir. It'd be hard to sell a kit per say, I guess what I COULD do is do a core exchange program if I were to do that :p I guess I'll go pull out my ef cluster from storage right now and do it red since two people here want red clusters :p

A core replacement isn't a bad idea. Like the old engine harness days!
Im assuming most people would go about it by just replacing the oem bulbs with some red tinted leds. which does the job.. I like how your adding in specific lights and going the extra step, unique! Care to share any "behind the scenes" shots of the backside of the cluster?
-Never put so much thought into my cluster before! haha keep up the creativity!

It will do the job, just not very well. If I had some orange LED's I could show you a HUGE difference of my teg cluster from those pop in bulbs to what I am doing currently. I'll get some more detailed shots later as I get it all finished up, this is all still just practicing on a spare cluster which I just may use in my girls DC :p Thanks!

Here is a really quick job on the EF cluster, I forgot I swapped my friend clusters because he wanted a tach and I said wth I got my Teg cluster so no tach If I would have wired up more LEDs placed them properly, it wouldn't have the hot spots, but this camera sucks at capturing the red, it looked orange, took another pic and it looked pink, looks cool as **** in person though a nice rich red! :p



it is breast cancer awareness month... :p

maybe it'll be there when i get my settlement
blue hate to deflate ya on this one.

The only differences are.

It has the cluster in kmh and possibly french.
It has a red vin tag versus blue
and possibly pillar mounted belts versus door mounted.

That in a nut shell is about it.

Aaanndd..... don't think he's looking at it because it's Canadian. It's a grand for a pretty clean/straight shell with decent paint that hasn't been horribly modded/beat on. On top of that, he can probably walk in with $700 cash and load it on a trailer. And finding one in the shape just described on the East Coast, that doesn't have the cancer, is getting harder and harder.

i don't think it's "from" Canada, but like my Si, manufactured in Canada

but yeah, it's a clean shell that is already gone believe it's one of those "sold but never deleted the ad" listings

Looks like I'm not the only one going backwards. We had the sedan on the verge of starting, but last night I had to pull the entire engine harness out. Sometimes it feels like I'll never get to drive my EF again.

The ole hammer trick always works for me.... Try soaking it in PB blaster overnight and then using a BFH.

i went backwards into a wall this year.


i also went sideways into a wall.








LBJ= jack up from the lower arm as high as you can without lifting car much.

wedge something between lower arm and bottom of spindle. i have a massive chisel that fits perfect.

slowly let jack down. springs will push down and pop ball joint if you have something in there tight enough.
