i want to order leds for my dash n all i can find are #74.. i know that i need 1= #74 and 5=#24... so my question is has anyone used a 74 where a 24 would go?

 

The 24 and 74 are the same wedge and take the same socket, but the bulbs themselves are different sizes. Many people just put 74's in. They'll fit, because the 74 is smaller than the 24.

thanks, has anyone done this?

 

has anyone done what?


used 74's instead of 24's?
or used the LEDs in that guy's link?

 

used the 74 instead of the 24

 

i have

 

what color did you use?

i need to replace the lights behind my a/c & recirculation buttons & was wondering which color to get, just white or maybe replace 'em all with amber....

 

i used blue 74 LEDs

but you'll never get even glow with the replacement LEDs. The only way to get even glow is to do this, which is what I did eventually.

Sorry for the thread jack but I have a question how many bulbs does it take to do the climate control and instrument panel.

thanks

 

thanks trust!

i'll check out the pics when i get home, stupid firewall at work wont let me see 'em

so you used blue?? seems odd, but were you just going for originality?

 

it looks good but i prefer oem amber... goodluck with your project man

 

just ordered some amber LEDs to re-do my climate control & a/c, recirc & rear defrost buttons........

let you know how it goes......(hopefully i ordered the right ones, LOL cuz i ordered 4)

 

for anyone still wondering, i ordered the size B LEDs from autolumination to redo the climate control & they didnt work so dont buy em from there

went ahead & just orderd some from honda (just for an SI instead)

 

not sure if anyone is still checking this thread or not, but the lights i ordered from Honda are a perfect fit & look great!

also, a quick little FYI, for those with the stock EX, LX, DX Climat Control, if you take of the little covers/condoms on the bulbs, then it looks amber.....

i'll post a pic of what it looks like when i get home & what it looks like WITH the bulbs
