If you're not sure you either need a swap or its not working.

Good writeup, complete with pics.

Thanks a lot.

And here's a vid of my VTEC light in action (i'm a ricer):

i thought u had to use some soart of resistor in the line to prevent pulling to much power from the ecu and causeing vtec not to engauge??

i like idea 1 but with the LED id rather not run all those wires through my firewall for one little light. way to much work. IMO

I just spliced the wire at the vtec solenoid wire coming out of the ecu...no firewall running for me

did u use the line for the silinoid or the pressure switch? also did u use any resistors?

You're probably thinking of the resistor inline with the ground wire to prevent the LED from going out. And I'm splicing off the solenoid and running through the firewall. Very easy to do. I just used the big *** grommet on the driver's side. There's also one on the passenger's side. Here are the instructions I used: http://www.hazone.com/hvlight.htm

dont mean to jack your thread but i love the red lighting behind the dash in your civic BauleyCivic.. nvr seen that before'

shauniewalnuts

why dont you just tell us what car you have insteading trying to figure out if its a vtec or not?

Solenoid...pin a4. Think about it the pressure switch always has current going through it because its always monitoring the oil pressure. The solenoid wire gets a current only when VTEC is activated. And no, I don't have any resistors.

nice ill ba putting one in this week.

yeah nice lights, and that vtec light isn't bad. something to do in the long winter months

on dohc who needs one. You can hear it from a mile away.

Filliam H. Muffman

most expensive vtec light on the market. mine rocks

SLOAZZ95

good write up on both ways of doing it

thanks people good experience and nice people help me thanks a lot

just buy a vafc and monitor vti and vto
