can i just paint the bulbs rather then buy new ones?

 

you can .. but your stock ones will be dimmer ..

imo i wouldnt mess around with all that .. i just bought all red bulbs, also bought 2 amber, and 2 red led's just to compare how they all look .. but i would just buy the bulbs .. u can get all the glass ones for like 11 bux

 

alright i guess i'll just go buy the amber bulbs instead then.

 

i suggest the red .. i ordered red instead of amber .. because the amber bulbs have look more yellow than orange .. whatever u prefer tho

 

I just got a 99 Si climate control from the junkyard and took the amber bulb caps and put those over the bulbs in my 98 DX.

 

why woulndt u just put the si cluster in?

edit: my bad .. i thought u meant guage cluster .. how much was the climate control?

 

well i just got the bulbs and i just put them in but they dont look right they are to red so i guess my next step is to paint my stock bulbs amber and we'll see how that goes. but i was wondering how long will the paint last? i am using the testor competition orange # 1628.

 

just go to your local Honda dealer parts department, and order the amber covers for the bulbs... i did it before looks exactly like the si climate control....

 

how much was the amber cover?

There's not a seperate part number for the bulb caps. They come with the bulb.

That sounds like about the price for the bulbs.

I have amber bulbs and they look great. They don't look too yellow.

 

damn, they told me to go with red because the amber looks yellow thats the only reason i went with the red ones. but if i could i would return the red ones and go with the amber ones next time. but oh wells what can i do now right? and also its too late now, i just paint my stock one with the testor competition orange i hope i it looks good and can hold up to the heat from the bulbs.

has anyone every used Testor paints? and can they stand up to the heat from the bulbs?

 

Well, I've seen orange nail polish crack over time and sharpies fade. I won't be surprised if the heat ends up cracking the paint too. The amber bulb caps (which come on the new bulbs) would be the best bet for a stock look.
