I would like a solution to light up the display better such as the newer model vehicles. If everything else on the car is upgraded to LED, that 1980's orange glow is just to retro.
Having the CF overlay and SOS rings, I would love to somehow light up everything nice and clear, with a white LED or whatever with bright pure red needles on the gauges.
what year is your NSX? I looked inside my 2004 and don't see this lit ring you are talking about? PM me and we can figure it out for sure
+1 i hate the retro orange look that you never even see in daylight

We're talking about the light that illuminates the gauge cluster behind the steering wheel... I don't think he means he has any "lit rings" lol
On my 95, its nearly impossible to read the ODO or trip ODO without having to look really closely at night... even w/ the brightness all the way up!

GUYS! I'm talking about the ignition switch surround. You are talking about the instrument cluster.

Ok - well if you change that one the dash would look a bit out of place being orange and everything else being a different color right?
Well, my overhead is LED white, so is my footwell. But my ignition is incandescent white. I removed the orange sock that covers the bulb.
I am now thinking a LED ring might work better here, and am formulating some plans.

This is not a bulb that can be easily replaced - let me look at the one in our 2004 nsx later tonight.
Back on topic: we have 5 kits ready to ship immediately

Rick - Any feedback on this? Would REALLY like to update the cluster somehow.
Actually I was just going to post ~ we had a local 91 nsx here with the orange lit ignition ring. Apparently from what I can see without taking his dash apart it's a small filament bulb that is soldered in that is fitted between the plastic ring. Judging by how it's lit un-evenly with the lower section brighter it uses only one bulb and is not a plug/play type setup.
Anything can be done but the labor would be pretty high to remove the entire key cylinder and to swap that bulb out with a white colored bulb.

I just got my interior lights converted to LEDs.
WOW!
The stuff is dam bright.
I liked it so much that I left the GTO with Rick for the conversion too.

i actually like this idea!
kind of like these hijacker?
Yes, something like this would be perfect. This would really update the look of the gauges on the interior and compliment the LED's everywhere else perfectly.
I just wanted to info ya'll that Rick converted my interior to LED and OMG, these are VERY bright. That and the license plates lights.
He has the GTO now for conversion too.

Any updates on possibly doing something with the gauge cluster?
We've been swamped with a lot of year end projects prior to SEMA but if you want us to look at the gauge cluster that is no problem. Just need someone to step up and ship their spare cluster to us for examination.
The s2000 guys have a few projects similiar to this one changing their dash color from amber to blue or white. Usually it involves SMD LED's to be de-soldered and then new ones soldered back on each location. It's risky and certainly not a DIY project as certain risks have to be understood.
I'm not sure if the NSX design is the same as the s2000 gauge cluster or if there are other options available.
here's a few more shots of a local client's car (note the interior LED upgrades)
All kits in stock ready to ship SAME DAY BEFORE NOON Pacific time
here's some more pictures:

thank you all for your business!
We just shipped out 5 sets of these to our Canadian Prime members, sorry for the delay but we now have 10 sets ready to ship so NO WAIT! :biggrin:
A few more sample pictures from various NSX owners who has dropped by our shop for installation

In for gauge cluster too if it becomes available.
Hopefully you'll get to examine one soon.
