Well I painted the bulbs on my EG cluster this weekend and this is what it turned out to be.

I turned reddish but I like it even better!
What I do not like is that the numbers are brighter than the needles.

I searched replacement needles but I'm in Asia so it is impracical to ship these colored illuminated needles. Any on else did this to your cluster?

Post pics! Thanks

 

Looks great! I like it more then the uber amber

 

i would like to do this to my integra! How did you do it!! Pease tell!!

 

i did this a few years ago, just replaced the bulbs to amber ones, but it's starting to fade now...

just go get the 194 color bulbs at autozone or so....just change the 3 bulbs behind the cluster....

 

looks good, a cheap DIY

 

nice...something different is needed when the gauge comes stock amber i guess...
for the P.I.

 

I just removed the condom like cover on the bulbs of the cluster and painted it a couple of coats, just like most people did around here.

I think I put too many coats of the orange transparent model paint and it turned red. I like it a lot! Makes me different from everyone else.

BTW Stock eg clusters came in white in PI, it was only after 1996 that the cluster of PhDM and JDM became similar.

I noticed the cluster of EK that there is an auxillary light mounted in front of the cluster to illuminate the needle white. I did this and everything turned white including the numbers. I hope I can find out how to highlight the needles.

 

that looks nice

 

Reminds me of my old RSX gauges. Looks good. I still like my SiR cluster though.

 

i just did mine couple days ago...turned out sort of a dark orange/red color also...i sorta like it this way

looks darker in person

 

what did you guys use to paint the bulbs?

i went to michaels and got some testors competition orange spray paint...if you want more of an amber color, i heard somewhere that using a bright orange spray paint or something from home depot works well

Foliatech transparent paint.

Others used testors competition orange spray paint but I can't find it here.

Anyone tried green bulbs yet?

 

easy and neat but ill stick with my jdm clusters in both my hatch's

You can do alot with that stain glass tint if you try and can do a neat job

 

damn you and your jdm clusters!

 

i like how it turned out!! i looked all over for amber bulbs but couldn't find them, might have to resort to painting them too.. good job

jdm cluster requires thinking.. km/h sucks

i don't want to swap the jdm cluster because then i won't know how many miles are on my shell.. which some might say is good.. but i like to know what my car has on it

 

i just did mine yesterday and took me a total of 10 min LOL looks reallllly good. I used the same paint that was used on my tail lights. Transparent paint!
