Allright, well as most of you know you can change the lighting to red in your cluster. Some one did a right up of how do this very well, but it was for a 92-95 civic. Well i'm not going to tell you how to do it, but i will give you some hints.

you don't need 5 #24's and 1 # 74

you need 4 #24's and 1 of some size i don't know because i reused
the old one.
i used a bright red instead of the orange they used.
paint all the lights that have a brown backing. THe others have black
and silver. One brown one has a wire going into it.

Here's how it came out and i love it.

Nevermind, geocities sucks *** so when it works again, go to this link.

It's a little blurry but that's the best i could do. And i dont have an automatic either, i just got the cluster for the tach.

For more information, go to the write-up

I painted my bulbs red and the color it came out is IDENTICAL to the color that the SI cluster is.

 

ok, now that i am welcomed into last year, i thought i was being helpful and not redoing a writeup someone allready did. Thought they only did it on 92-95. Criticize away...

My fault, I was reffering to the EM1 cluster (99-00).
EDIT: The paint I used was some 3 dollar a bottle stained glass paint from Micheals.

 

for the cluster i used 4 #24s for the ones with the brown back and then there's a bulb with a brown back that has a wire coming out of it, that one, i didn't feel like going out and buying a bulb, so i peeled off the blue rubber stuff and then spraypainted it. And the color red is...Testers Gloss Bright Red 1231 got it from Micheals as well, by the model car ****.

 

Well, anyway, do you like it

 

the geocities website is not working either.

get the pics up im curious.

 

aight cool but one more question sorry for askin when u painted the orginal bulb did it turn out ok or did it look like ****

 

I would like to see some pics up. PM me if you need me to host a couple.

 

wow, it finally worked after i made a new site. but they are big. When i used the old bulb it turned out just fine. I sure can't tell a difference between them. The one i re-used covered half the tachometer and 1/3 of the speedometer.

 

k, i hate geocities. Heres the new link for a new site, hope it works.

its three 74's not one for the 92-95's. one in the climate control one in the cluster, I know you did this for a 6th gen but I just wanted to correct the misinformation. The red looks really nice

 

i was just talking about the cluster, i haven't done the climate control.... i like the red too, thanks

 

WOW it really does look good!

time for me to go get some paint!

any ideas where to find some?

Yea that makes sense, completely my fault

 

Good job Too bad EK's dont have the rings around the outer side of the gauges to tint the needles red at night like the EG's do

Yeah, the white needles still sucks. I wonder if I could get some lime green paint and make me a knoockoff Spoom cluster.

 

Yeah, the white isn't too bad in there, it's easier to tell how fast your going cause it's red on white instead of white on white. Course it never was that hard. And the paint i got from micheal's in the model car section. For the CIVIC dude.

 

Has any done a writeup on how to do the climate control on a 96-00 and have pics of what it looks like..?

 

?
