Has anyone done this to a 5th Gen Accord? I did a search and didn't find any pictues of a 5th gen Accord with blue LEDs, and I wanna do that shit. Post pics if you have 'em.

one of the LED's i picked up was the wrong one...you can see in the pic (not that noticeable in real life). i basically turned all the green ones to blue and the yellow to red.

That's pretty cool.. Isn't too hard to do is it? Also, isn't it possible to do that with like the gauges and shit?

it was probably the hardest mod i've done. takes a lot of patience and soldering skills. the gauges, say the fan and temp ones for example, don't have green bulbs but rather they shine through a green strip.

easier to do on the 6th gens...i haven't seen pics of people doing their entire 5th gen gauges over again.

I think Cryogen97 did the whole conversion, but I lost the link, try to ask around.

Oh so the guages aren't even LEDs, they're just a light shining through a green strip? So I could just get a new "skin", so-to-speak, for it, huh? That seems to be what that guy did?

Where can I get one of them cute little things anyway?

you probably have to make it yourself. shouldn't be too hard. get some colored transparency film, or colored acetate. i hear the green tinting isn't simply a sheet, tho - heard you had to basically scratch it off
