so i switch out the face plate and bulbs right?i have my jdm climate apart and i notice the bulbs have the blue cover over them..do i remove the blue rubber piece??

 

im pretty sure the blue piece is what makes it so vibrantly blue. I would swap that over too if it fit.

 

just use the jdm climate control face and the jdm bulbs... they should have an amber cover... no blue cover

aw **** dont tell me the bulbs that came with my jdm climate control are not jdm..that means if they are the ones with the blue cover it wont have the amber lighting??

 

put the bulbs in and tun it on and see

 

the only reason the jdm ones are amber is b.c. the nipples(covers) are amber and the usdm ones are blue. You sure you got the jdm cc?

 

It'll probably still be amber. If it's like the guage cluster, there's a filter, so as long as the bulbs are bright enough the color won't matter.

BTW- If you do need amber bulbs you can probably get them at a local auto parts store. You don't need "jdm" ones.

 

alright thanks i got played..what can i do now to have the amber lighting?i dont want to paint or spray them red cause it looks to red

 

a filter on the faceplate?may bad i know i should just install it but i want to make sure so i can at least trade it back for another one..thanks in advance

 

bump still need to know...

 

if u dont get the real jdm cc, then just check this out

i kno u said u dont want to paint em red, but if u paint em like bauley says, they turn out to be the orange-ish red color. i kno from experience, i did my cluster a while back. to bauley

 

Not all JDM ones are amber. Only SIR (EG6)models are amber. So you can get played by someone selling a JDM one that was truly shipped from Japan (hence real JDM) but came off of a non-SIR like a VTI/MX/etc. I see so many "real JDM" this and that which is mostly not.....

 

If it's like any other JDM switch type of thing, the actual face filters the light to become amber. I have a JDM foglight and rear defroster switches. I know the bulbs are clear, however the light shone through the face is amber.

 

whats so special about the jdm cc? other then the amber bulbs?

Are you sure about this? The Vti gauge cluster is amber so I don't see why the CC wouldn't be too.

 

all i know is that my ferio one came with clear bulbs and it was shipped directly from japan. you can buy EK si climate control bulbs for 3 something a piece at the dealership. They're called Neo Wedge Bulbs. Just switch over the condoms, The amber will be dark though.

Yes I am sure if it is JDM. I don't know about other countries but I live/grew up here in Japan and the Vti cluster is not amber unless someone changed out the bulbs/made it amber. Only SiRs were all amber inside (guage/climate/clock). I have owned in the past pretty much at least one of each (MX/Vti/Si/SiR) and SiRs are the only ones amber.

 

alright thanks for the all the help ya

 

Yup for the JDM EG6 SiR CC it's just the bulbs that make it amber... I swapped out my stock cluster/cc for the JDM EG6 SiR/CC about 2 weeks ago and all it was, was taking off the usdm face place+bulbs and putting on the jdm face place+bulbs and wahh lahh JDM amber baby!
