I actually did the same to my 00 gsr a while back, used Sylvania 194 NA (natural amber) bulbs. Looks quite good. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get everything else to match. Not to steal this thread, but if anyone knows how to change the color of the clock, climate control, and cruise control lights, I'd love to know.

p.s. for anyone else considering doing the same. Eurolite 194 blue bulbs do NOT produce enough light to be useable.

i actually looked into what u said about the clock and here is what I saw



so there is no bulb...I think the solution here would be transparent vinyl on the inside of the clock...that way when it glows white it'll glow orange or wahtever on the outside...I'll see if I can find some orange vinyl and see if it'll wrok

I keep thinking about brightening up my gauges and maybe going a color change like you did, but I'm paranoid about breaking something involved

autozone/pepboys "performance" section...I got the oranges out of the normal section...they are the same size as the bumper light bulbs.

Hey, i'm sure I can manage to break something!! hehe

I build computers and such so this shouldn't be tough, i'll have to give it a try sometime soon, thanks

you can also use the red autometer light bulb covers . they worked good on my spoon cluster and matched my climate control pretty good

nah I just want to spend like 400-500 on mods to personalize the car. Getting some rims/tires from a friend for a good deal and then probably get some handling stuff done.

Reason for auto is that I will barely be using it since its going to stay home when I transfer to the new school starteing fall...thats one of the reasons I didn't get another type S when I totalled mine ...since I didn't feel like making payments on a car that I wouldn't be using. + My insurance was so high that my want for the gsr disappeared...so I decided to make a deal w/ith my parents ...I sell the extra car in the family a 94 accord...and then I could use that money to add to mine to get something better, but it had to be an auto. And I'd rather get a 00 integra gs that will be easier to sell down the road for 7.6K when I decide to upgrade, than spending 6K for a LS manual integra.
