I want to put white dials in my Civic. Just wanna know how hard this is and where I can get some from. I've seen them on Ebay but they all seem to have both KM and Miles on the speedo and I dont want that. My car is a 98 Civic and any help would be appreciated on where I can purchase and how hard it is to install. Thanx

Yeah thats what I want. They are just white during the day and then u put a coloured bulb behind them and get whateva colour u want right? Where did you get yours from, how much and how hard were they to install?

Thanx but none of these are any good cos I've got a tacho and the temp and fuel thing are together.

Maybe Autobarn or the like (they'll probably charge u an arm & a leg for it). Or try posting in the What/Where to Buy section of Ozhonda. :D

I got mine from overseas (white during the day, light up blue @ night) but they are no name brand (have both mph and kph) but i haven't had a problem with them. Had them on the car for over a year now. They ended up costing me $25 which is better than $99 that a local guy wanted at his store.
Yeah thats what I want. They are just white during the day and then u put a coloured bulb behind them and get whateva colour u want right? Where did you get yours from, how much and how hard were they to install?
you dont change the bulb behind it. they come with it. and you need to wire it up and put the cover in.
it comes with a switch also. so whenever i feel like changing colour, you just flick it and it changes to green or blue.

dont bother to get it.
it will give up in 6 month and the lights are dead. im speaking from personal experience as i have it in my car. and it just Sh1t hole. now only white dials on it LOL ..
if you want your dials looks good, better off with Bezels and those rings around it. looks much better i think.
I regret to have it on mine, coz its china and easily break LOL

its how you connect it .. ive had mine for yrs with no issues. if you install it solidly it should always work. (i reinstalled it becus it wasnt connected that well) easy to install and no need to replace needles or remove then.
btw. mine are forsale. ek- with no tacho.
these EL dials sit on top of your original ones. so no issues
thanks
