Default Some N00bish Questions...

Some fairly easy (to you all I hope) quesitons that I just can't seem to figure out..

1) What Honda emblem would work in our front grill? I don't really know of any badges off hand that would fit in there perfect...

2) Along the same lines...The steering wheel has the big A on it and was curious how everyone was going about making that a Honda emblem.

3) This one is a little more tricky, ha. I turn the headlights on and the radio lights are VERY dim almost not on and the climate control doesn't come on at all. After a little thread searching a previous owner wired in a AFR gauge and did something to cause this issue. Just curious what you think it may be...

Here is a link to his thread of what caused the lack of light issue:

Thanks a ton, fellas!!!

1. the type r emblem, check ebay or other jdm retail locations online

2. u may just be able to replace the cover or but the whole wheel which yes is like $400 (a waste as well if u ask me)

3. u do know if u turn the **** in the dash, i think the one on the left, the dash lights dim or brighten

idk if that was ur question but thats all i got

Haha...okay little background on me.

I'm not new to cars so the whole "turn your interior dial up" and "check fuses" is not helping... I provided a link to show what I mean.

The fuses are fine and the dash lights are on. There is a ground or resistor not connected or fried, please help me locate it or suggest where to look.

I don't want the Type R red ones, just a regular H from any old Honda like from a junkyard...Silver H that I can snag from maybe an older model Honda.

And the wheel I just get a sticker or something, because everything else on it says Honda.
