As Flip said before, it can't be white as benz or lexus, but what I can is White, although it's not bright white, but it still look better than the green one.

Yeah, they now use electroluminescent display. BUT the clarity and techonolgy used by Toyota (Lexus) is more advanced than the Hondas.

All,

I just changed my dash's and climate control's bulbs yesterday. Thanks to Flipside's instruction, it was kinda easy.

There are 5 194 bulbs to be changed. If you'd like to change the signal as well, you have to take the gauge out, and take 2 round greenish things out.

Replace them with some red glossy wrapping paper (that was what I did), and put back the gauge.

For the climate control, these 2 bulbs in there are smaller than the 194 size. Nobody sells them, so I guess you have to customize. I used the red sharpie pen to cover these two light bulbs like 20-30 times, lelf them dry and then did it again (I learned this technique from toyotanation.com).

I couldn't be able to do the clock though. I might come up with some else later for it.

btw, while you're at the climate control, don't forget to color the bulbs for the ashtray and cigarett light.

I took couple of pictures yesterday. I'll post them up tonight when I got home from work.

by **Fenix** » Mon Feb 10, 2003 9:03 pm

Peter,

No, I didn't change the AC and defrost bulbs. As for the cig lights, when I took the dash panel out, the light was there to colored.

Here is my dash with new red bulbs. The pics are kinda bad...I need a new digital camera..

Sure thing, Peter. Please post tips of how you did the ac and defrost.
Did you manage to change the ignition light as well?

I like the new red color..
