Default 4th Generation Prelude LED Dash Conversion

So I disassembled some of my interior today to re-mount my stereo and decided I wanted to finally put the time into converting my lights to blue LEDs. However, I can't find any good step-by-step instructions w/ pics to do the conversion. Does anyone have a link or guide to help?

Don't have the Electro-luminescent gauges huh?

Why not look for them online or at a junkyard? They look so much nicer than the regular gauge cluster, even with blue LEDs...

But he is right, the analog (nonEL) gauges are hard to mod and make look good. Here's mine when I tried to do it:



Then I added more LED's than just the stock locations, looked better but still not perfect:



Here's more pics of what I did:

Ok buddy, but your mod is gonna look like crap anyway. :lmao:

Why not get the factory setup and stop ricing up your ride? I could see if there wasn't a factory option for better gauges, but there is...

No wonder there are no instructions.
Oh well its your car. :lmao:
