Civic FD Speedo, Cluster & Cd player LEDs

**Mingy** · 07-01-2008 07:11 PM

Okay i'm quite sure most of you have thought of changing the colour of the speedo, cluster and cd player LEDs. I'm sure at somepoint you got totally sick of the blue. anyways Stock ones are blue, and Type-R are red. been searching here and there but no conversions available yet. Has any FD owner successfully done a conversion from Blue to Red?

it is possible to change to red. I dont have instructions but people overseas has done it. Apparently red is no good for your eyes after viewing it for a while

There are some on the Singapore forums I think but as others have pointed out, blue is much easier on the eyes. Looks better IMO too. If you wanted red, you'd have to make sure it's a deep colour and not too bright.

are you referring to www.shc-forum.com?

Nah there are some FD exclusive forums such as www.civicfd-sg.com and www.sgcivic.com. Then there are also the American 8th gen Civic forums (google it- forgot the URL).

Bear in mind these are purely for inspirational purposes because some of the parts aren't available here, prices are likely to differ, and for Singapore/M'sia for example, the people there are much more gutsy when it comes to modifications!

^ would be cool to install different LEDs so that you can flick a switch or two and go between blue/red/gree/yellow/white ....

EDIT: LOL... except u couldn't read your speedo if its white... so scratch that.

they designed the colours quite well. Blue for speedo. Green to see gears (auto). So a big pat on R&D IMO. Only thing i hate is that you cannot control the brightness of the stock HU display. But eventually im gonna install my own HU.

I wish they colour coded all the lights (e.g. blue on the speedos n HU, light blue on gears (auto)?)
