Default Stock Honda 98 Stereo LED Modification

Ive got a stock 98 cd player, and I remember seeing a site on the net with directions of how to modify the LED's inside so that it illuminates a different colour rather than stock green. I cant find it anymore lol, would anybody know the link?

LEDautomotive.com

There are diy instructions and products there.... But if i were you, go buy the leds off ebay... but if you decide to purchase from there, use this that i got from them..

99Accord.com has a new name, it is now LEDautomotive.com. Since we offer LED conversion kits for more than just the Accord (and we plan to add more vehicles as we grow) we thought it would be appropriate to change our name.

Mention this email and get 15% off your next purchase now through October 31st.

Our website also has a new look. Check it out at www.LEDautomotive.com
I have this in my car too..

the leds and resistors.. its all in the website... becuase leds use less power than required regular bulbs, you need a resistor to regulate the power goin to the led...

Leds last approximately 100000 hrs... virtually longer than a car from what i heard.. they use less power, and are way brighter than bulbs...

I dont have pictures of my led conversion in my car, but i have led conversion to my headlights, side markers, interior conversion, 3rd brake lights and soon my taillights, whole guage cluster, door lights, and dome lights...

In the end, the only kind of bulbs i will have in my car is my hid bulb and high beam..

Here are some pics of some of my leds conversions..

check back later on tonite when i get some pictures of my interior led conversion.
