Default DIY Amber Climate Control

Ok, so lastnaight I did the cluster, and this morning I really wanted to give the climate control a try. All went well, so heres how to do it.

1.) First thing, obviously, is to take out your climate control. Go search to figure out how to remove it on your model honda.


2.) Once you have the climate control out, flip it upside down to find the two light bulb sockets. Once these have been located, pull them out of the socket!


3.) I've found that on bulbs that are not brand new, paint tends not to want to stick. Heres out solution. Bulldog Automotive Adhesive Promoter


4.)After spraying a light coat of the AP, put a generous coat of orange testors actylic paint on the bulb!


5.) Once dry, put the bulbs back in the sockets and reinstall the climate control! Its still light here in CT so more pics of the final results will be up later! Even during the day, you could tell that it was going to look awesome!

Hahha !!
Great DIY, I did the same thing in my Accord.
Only thing is since the accent is blue/green, it didn't turn out as well as yours.
for j00.
