Default Del Cluster to Amber...

My cousin wants to convert his Del Sol cluster to amber but he does not want to put forth for the JDM Cluster.

We have decided to see if anybody here has done or thought of such a mod. Im sure its going to be similiar to that of an EG/EK cluster. I searched and found a few threads but the 194A bulb only fits the larger bulb sizes found on the DC2.

The bulb size we have obtained is the 74. Its a clear bulb without the "blue" condom. Such thing as a 74A? I really doubt these types of bulbs are availabe here in the US market.

So we are thinking of either spray painting the bulbs, or, use a cellaphane type of material to give it that "amber' effect. TIA

hey migs, instead of using that blue 'condom' looking cover on the bulbs, get 99-00 Si Climate control bulbs from the dealer and it should have amber 'condom' type covers and use those to cover your cluster bulbs.

i have yet to try this, but i will on my 97 hatch.

I found it very hard to find bulbs with the amber covers + they were quite expensive. I just used Tamia (sp?) clear orange paint. This can be found at a local hobby shop. Works very well.

i got the bulbs from the honda dealer, it toook REALLY long to get, but i used the covers off of a 99 Si climate control bulbs and i needed 3 bulbs. cost like 5 bucks.

How much were the covers. My cousin is getting anxious on this mod.
yeah so around 5 bucks or so, it might take a while so don't rush i guess.

right now i have an amber lit deck and amber climate controls, and i have yet to get an Si or CTR cluster, so if i get this done beofre you, i'll let u know. if u find bulbs that will fit, let me know.
