I've been contemplating an LED swap too. I'm pretty comfortable soldering SMD LEDs which is pretty hard and you need a good soldering station. The older accords you can just use regular LEDs. Newer car's with LED backlight use SMD LEDs.

LOL, you guys are funny ..... I'm going to have a guy do the LED's in the clusters ...... I could probably do it, but I-m going with experience on this one.

Those look cool! The blue and red make a great combo for gauges!

all i know is they are SOOOO bright(are adjustable) on the highest setting, and its drawing from a socket that barely lit a bulb, its gotta work like neons, casue there is a trransformer that buzzes like a neon on when they are on

obviously factory the needles are very close to the pod, so i had to pull them out just a tiny bit so they had free range of motion again

i got the same ones in my 95, they look nice day and night, and idk about your set, but mine came with a dimmer, so i can basically shut them off, blind myself, or put it somewhere in between, ive had mine for a while now and no problems, how are yours holding up?
