Default I did the amber cluster light trick

As seen in this FAQ page,
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=661308
I followed the instructions, but if I did it again, I probably wouldn't use so much paint. I think I put down like 4 or 5 coats. It's kinda dark but it is ok in areas where there isn't alot of ambient light, like on the country roads we have 'round herre. And here's a couple pics. Very hard to photograph with my camera. These low light shots, it just up's the exposure time so I gotta hold super still. Werd.

My interior is really the light gray color, not charcoal as it appears here.

hah! no I didn't shoot while driving, but the car was running. I don't drive it much bcause there's no reg, ins, insp, or license. I say I don't drive it much and what I mean is I really don't leave the parking lot. License comes back in May so here we go!!

Yeah you're right. It's red like inside the RSX, but not as bright, even with the dimmer all the way up (or down or whatever)

Next I gotta make the HVAC stuff match. I don't say A/C as I have no A/C. There is an OEM plate where the A/C switch would be.

I'll try the camera again next time it's dark.

you should just set the camera on top of the horn with the timer on so you dont have to hold the camera still. is it me or do the guages look purplish? On my EK all i did was change the bulbs from clear ones to amber ones, and vualah i have amber cluster

That thing is a bitch to get out, I hated it.

This belongs in the Appearance/Cosmetic forum.

Yes this is one of my next missions. That thing is so annoying. The previous owner taped a piece of paper infront of it or something. Gotta handle that.
