I searched a bunch of times here and ClubSi.com for the answer, But nothing came up.


I'm looking for the page that explains how to make your 99-00 Civic Si cluster Emblem to glow red at night.

I am not sure if there is a need to completely take apart the gauge cluster including needles, Or if there's an easier way.

Pics would help or maybe some of you can share your experiance with this mod

Thanks in advance

Because

 

actually, u could tap into the ECU and make it light up only when VTEC engages. I think that'd be tight as hell! Im not trying to be sarcastic, i really thing that'd be sweet.

it cant do that, if you read the post in the link it just sands the black paint off the back so light shines through the SI logo. there is no light to wired up to vtec

 

so wire a light....

i just did it to mine and it turned out great! took me 3 or 4 mins!!! i had been looking into doing this but never got around to it!!!!! someone do a write up on how to do it with vtech engagement or shift point would also be koo!!!

They have that horn activator when VTEC is engaged as well so I suppose they run off the same ECU tap?
