Super Bright LED's...all bulb sizes!!!
 

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet or not, but a friend of mine just emailed this site to me. Basically they have almost all kinds of LED's from instrument cluster lights to exterior bulbs. Now this is something I was looking for, because I want to replace my cluster lights with LED's but didn't want to go through the hassle of buying resistors, etc. Check it out and anyone who has changed their instrument cluster and HVAC lights to LED's please let me know. I want to know how many bulbs to buy for the instrument cluster (I just want to change the color on the part where the trip meter and the odometer is) and the lights behind the climate control area. BTW...I got a '98 Accord LX (4 cyl) 4 door, so I don't have the digital climate control.

Here is a list from that site of some interesting lights.

What do you guys think of the Headlight Accent LEDs?

And also anyone know if the interior mirror bulbs are wedge bulbs or what?

They sell cheap a*s LED headlights... how do you guys think LEDs would compare to PIAA Xtreme Whites in terms of the white color and brightness?

Please stop post-whoring! Earn your status rather than asking random questions and using a different post for every single question... Headlight accent LEDs are rice in my book and you will most likely outgrow them. And I doubt that LEDs would suffice AT ALL as headlights...

Okay thanks man, and Ill try to use the edit button more, sorry.

How do the headlight accent LEDs work? Theyre on when the car is off right? Seems like they would burn out extremely quick. I was thinking about going with the silver. What do you guys think?

Anyone know what the interior mirror bulbs are?

Also---does anyone know how to change the bulb color of the clock? Is that a wedge bulb?

i dunno about the 6th gen's interior mirrors, but for the 5th gen they aren't wedges. it's much easier for you to find out if you open them up yourself. but if you don't want to do that i guess i could check my parents' 98.

for the clock, do you want to replace a burned out one or do you want to change it to another color? the only place i could find it was at honda for $1-2. you could color it with a sharpie if you want to change colors

See if I can nail these.

Headlight accents are just leds that are on when your parking lights are on or however you choose to switch them. It's just an LED that glows in the housing to make it look purty, and to piss the cops and other drivers off.

The Mirror bulbs are a strange size(they're like the dome lamp but smaller) I couldn't find them anywhere so I boke the glas portion and put two LEDs in there with resistors an kept them the same length. You have to get trick with it.

The clock. Pull it out and look. It's a #74 bulb, also dubbed "a peanut bulb" it's very very tiny. If you use the methods that I changed the other peanut bulbs on my site you can figure out how to do the clock. You have to play with the cutoff angle because the clock uses oblique lighting or indirect lighting however you want to call it and you have to get the led to try and shine to the side instead of straight ahead. I opened up the clock and painted the inside of the "box" where the bulb sits with chrome touch up paint to get some relfection going on. I don't say exactly how to do the clock on my site, but I tell how to change hte rest of the dash and you can be creative with the clock.

this is a modified peanut bulb with a blue LED instead of the incandescent crap yellow bulb. I'm getting ready to change my whole dash out to white LEDs very soon though :D

and the final deal

and the whole effect(don't mind my phone, to the eye it's the same color as the rest, but the LEDs are in direct sight so it makes the digital camera oversaturate, just like the blue accents on my deck, on the pic above you can see the bottom ones are very blue, but on this pic they are white like my phone, that's just the camera freaking out)

WOH.......seeing the dash of that car is like seeing Disneyland's light parade. Good sh*t man......it looks awesome. I especially like it because its all DIY. Im not really into lighting now, but its something i definitely wanna touch on. If u dont mind, i'll ask u for help when i work on mine.:D
