Anybody know if there's a way to change the color of the cluster lights?

[Jake Trashansky]

I recently saw a picture (which I think might just be camera trucks or weird lighting) and I think it's a cool idea. Anybody know how to do this? If there even is a way to do it. Thanks!

It can be done, as it was done on the 8th gen as well -

person said it was done with smd led bulbs.

There's three smd LEDs under it that I put 3mm LEDs in...same way to change odometer and speedometer colors along with all the switches etc. Yes it was somewhat daunting..for the speedometer I had to desolder the three LCD boards, swap the lights to pink for speedometer, rev limit light and security light, then resolder the three screens back in. Took about 40 hours to do the whole interior but it was my first time tackling something like this.

Thanks webby! As cool as it looks 40 hour job is just not worth it haha

Okay, so I know this is going to sound weird and all but I figure that since our Civic Si have digital speedometers and mostly did with gauges in general, does anyone know if there is a way to change the color of the gauge itself? If not then it's not a big deal I saw another si on the road they had a red speedometer so they got me to thinking. Thanks for any input by the way.

Merged

I wasn't necessarily talking about the entire dashboard including the radio just the speedometer to match red but to be honest with you that would also mean I have to match my VTEC monitor and my fuel gauge in red as well and I'm not sure I want to do that.

If you have an Si, aren't all the gauges red already?

They are just not the actual color of the numbers for the speedometer. I could have swore I saw a red but it's really not too big of a deal to me anymore. Thanks for all the input though.

LMAO That's fabulous @Dar-Dar!

Anyone else is missing analog cluster?

Yes they're red but I don't want them red! I want to make it unique!

I recognize that.

I remember the post. I just forgot who posted it.

Doesn't really help, but I know you can change your window control lights.

That would be perfect for a Fit!

If I only had the time for that...

Doe's any one know where a tutorial is?

if you're confident in soldering, it shouldn't be much different than the 8th gen swap

Anyone wanna get paid who's confident at soldering?
