thanx, i've been wanting to do something like that, now i have a procedure

HatchVX · 03-06-03, 11:33 AM

IMO that looks like crap, if it ws just the needle lite up it would be ok, but u got that fog of light at the base of the needle. just my $.02

looks better than having a non-lit needle and reverse indigos, it's a bish to tell on the temp gauge, do honda needles go transparent when they are sanded too?

Will not work on Civic clusters. Civic clusters are top lit ... Integra clusters on the other hand ...

< --- has GSR cluster in 2000 Civic

Civic cluster aren't top lit they are lit up in the back by the bulbs. Are u talking about a 6th gen civic? B/c the 5th gens are back lit.
Integra ones are the ones top lit.

i have a 6th gen, but the top lit bulbs are gone because i have reverse indigos

will this project work on my 5th gen accord's cluster

that project will only work with clear lighted needles. I've been planning on doing a similar effect mod, but with an entirely different method. I've got a ton of UV LEDs and I can just front light the needles and paint them with a UV reactive paint. It's much easier logistically and none of that needle removing
