Replacing Instrument Gauge Cluster Bulbs With Leds?

it would look great in an amber color,
the problem is not alot of vendors make this for the NSX
now they make it for other cars as there are like 5.6 billion SHEEP cars on the roads

The back light is clear on the NSX. It uses an orange colored lens. I don't think you can get that effect on the NSX without replacing the face of the cluster with different ones.
The gauges are very delicate, and often break when removing the needles. Ask anyone that has done the NSX-R Instrument Cluster conversion. It's a project, and easy to screw up.

VERY VERY VERY easy to screw up. 
Yes, I did.
And no, the results are/were not what I expected.
I replace the two wedge bulbs with similar sized LED-bulbs.
The light on the dash is not brighter at all.
Worse, since the LED are not as uni-directional as incandescent light bulbs, one side of my speedo is now more brightly lit than the other side.
So, as soon as I feel like it, I am going to change the bulbs again. I am going to put in some new bulbs though.
I would strongly be interested in a kit that does this for the NSX. I feel the gauge cluster is one of the most dated things in the car.

No matter what you do, the needles won't light up.
Honda (or aftermarket ) should have developed an updated version. Imagine how many people would pony up for a Modulo gauge cluster.

Is anyone working on an update to this or has try another attempt at it?
1993 nsx instrument cluster light
When I drove the NSX at night, the orange instrument cluster (speedo/tach) light was very dim (off?)
There is a switch on the dash with a button which can be pushed in or released.
How complex is changing the bulb? There appears to be no direct bulb access under the steering panel.
Does the whole dash need to be removed to access the bulb(s)?
Tried to find a video, but none specific to NSX (1993).
Any feedback appreciated as to options
Is there any URL (youtube) video on troubleshooting/replacing bulbs?

The IC bulbs cannot be accessed without pulling the gauge cluster, and there are several DYI's written about that process.
About converting them to LED's, I'll defer to others here who may have current knowledge regarding that :biggrin:

Not that I recommend it, but EL backlighting for the NSX ($30)
