Default It's the little things

It's funny how the simplest maintenance and repairs bring the most satisfaction.
I just redid ball joints, control arms and stab links recently. Ok, the car is quieter and doesn't sound like it's falling apart. Changed the oil, no big deal...
Replace odometer backlight bulb on the IP? I can see the fruits of my labor. This simple ten minute repair genuinely makes me happy.

indeed Jnb
i feel ya.

Been pulling a lil $500 1995 accord out of the grave for a month. my lil hobby car now.
but out of all the things ive done to it, one of the most pleasing is replacing all the IP lights, door panels, dome lights, etc interior with red LEDs.

2 months of days off repairing and replacing neglected parts, and these lights are the only thing that makes my wife smile and giggle everytime she gets in the car at night.

Indeed it is the little things!

I need to change mine as well. It looks like your driving blind in my 94 accord. Where you get the lights and are they a plug in replacement?
