Replacing LEDs / globes Behind dash controls
Just wondering if anyone has replaced the LEDs/ globes behind the ac controls or stereo controls on the dash, I'm pretty sure they are LEDs but not 100% I noticed on the weekend as I drove to work early that the light behind the temperature knob wasn't lit up along with the knob that you use to select where the air will come out of. Very annoying

I thought they were globes too but that qube engineering place that advertises on here to change the colour of your speedo and dash control lights makes think otherwise. LEDs don't last forever but I would expect them to last longer than this.

Did you change the colour of your speedo too or did you leave it, if so does it clash badly with the orange.I've wanted to change mine for years as I hate the orange light. I much preferr the colour they used in the new civics

nah there is a simply one available. There is a LED site which you can buy direct replacement LEDs for.. You will need about 12-14, I think this guy took it a step further 
'and I swear i replied to your post ryan.. :S
anyways I havent changed the speedo yet as I haven't had the time or money to invest into the QUBE lighting design. I will do it eventually however it doesn't clash at all with the blue. It still looks great.
******EDIT*******
FOUND IT!
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/707...be+engineering
The site is - http://autolumination.com/74.htm - Looks dodgey lol but its fine
This is the DIY - https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/index.php...&f=22&t=601913
For the amount you need I would reference this post
Its really not that hard with the DIY.. probably took 20 minutes to do? give or take

They are on their way and I will let you know if they work, I ordered 11 Type A and 4 Type B, the only ones that might not work I am thinking are the longer white ones but we shall see.
