DIY changing out switch and dash lights to red or blue - Page 10

***KMM*** · 08-18-2008, 10:57 PM

unless you solder the (+) end right to the (-) and nothing in the middle you should do ok

also on any one of the little switches if you dont nick any of the other parts on the board other then just the LED you will be ok, besides if you mess it up it's only as bad as the price of a new part from honda, ebay or a scrap yard

lol yeah ill double and triple check everything before i do any actual soldering.

yap I just did it last week, that one is kinda easy to do and can be done with one 3mm led and a resister.

**GETxERxDONE** · 08-18-2008, 11:58 PM

cool, my light went out in that too..but supposedly honda fixed it when i took it in, but i keep forgetting to look

***KMM*** · 08-19-2008, 12:00 AM

one good thing about dealers is that they like to cover up alot of things that they think they f-ed up on, like if they see something not working or not right they think they might of done it because you didn't book it in for that so they fix it for you

**GETxERxDONE** · 08-19-2008, 12:03 AM

lol yeah. oh, forgot to ask, did you do the "passenger airbag" letters?

***KMM*** · 08-19-2008, 12:12 AM

no not yet but there is only one of those little neo-wedge type light blubs in there like the km/mi reset switch

**GETxERxDONE** · 09-13-2008, 10:43 PM

err..look in your manual and it will list what each fuse does, then pull the fuse and see if its blown

***KMM*** · 09-14-2008, 02:56 AM
