Here is the link to the 4th gen Accord conversion... This site is not related to mine in any way. I am just posting it for informational purposes.

99aznaccord: The 5th gen only uses 3 LEDs to light up the climate control - 2 5mm LEDs (1 LED for each row of buttons) and 1 #74 wedge LED (for the fan speed and temp knobs.) This is the problem because the 2 LEDs that light up the buttons do not light up the the entire row of buttons evenly nor bright enough.

You may be talking about the indicator LEDs (The lights above the buttons) These work well, and so do the LEDs for the other buttons (dimmer, cruise, defrost, etc...)

I am planning to try these Luxeon LEDs to see if they will work.
