yeah looks good....yeah like everyone said some one did the Ac/ Heater controls in LED...they look good but im wondering if you can still use the dim wheel since at night they might be bright as hell

our clusters use 6 X 168 bulbs and the Rest are a 1.4W bulbs.
when i go to work on WED i post pix of the cluster apart.

The thread I made is here.

You can dim the lights if yo udo what I did. If you just use a positive lead to leds then no yo wont be able to dim. The accord uses the ground to dim the lights so you have to use both positive and negative leads to your leds in order for them to dim.
Sick man, dunno if i'd want it but very nice:rockon:

i was going to try doing that but it didnt work out the way i wanted. but i might try it again if i can buy some led's in bulk along with resistors. maybe when i have more time.

its kinda dark, I used 2 LEDs each replacing the original bulb. the resistor I used is kinda big, (1k ohm), I should've tried with lower values. crappy camera won't help either. It is brighter in real world.

That would be me :) I am going to get back on that project here soon. Gotta put in another order for LEDs. I also worked on a circuit that would transition through the colors, but that's for show.
