I have a black 99 prelude. I like the orange in dash lights, but they dont match anything and I want to get a new radio (stock is just getting old..). The problem is I cant find a radio that has orange lights that will match the other lights in the car, which is too bad considering I do like the orange and it would be far easier to install that over redoing all the in dash lights.
my question is, is it feasible to change all the lights to like red or blue OR does anyone know of a nice double din radio that has orange lights thatll match?
Any opions of anything else thatll look nice would be appreciated too!
You can change your dash lights. It requires a little work but it's not too difficult. There are some writeups on the other prelude forums on how to go about doing it - i'm sure there's one on here as well, but there are a few ways to do it. So search around to find the method that better suits you.
my jvc has orange, and 15 other colors. but its single din. can't think of any double navi/dvd units that are orange. there's 3 different companies that sell red or blue leds to change over the dash and climate.

Check E-Bay. I saw a Honda 6 CD/radio unit offered last week. I'm considering it but haven't got back to the site. $150.00. I think it was from a CRV but all DIN's are the same. P.S.: lighting was orange.
No problem tprjim! Ah I'll check jvc more closely then. I suppose it's not the end of the world if I don't get a navi one. I'll look a little more closely for the write-ups for changing the lights too. I looked for a bit and didn't find anything so I assumed there wasn't much on this.
the classified has a guy selling them aerf___ soemthing, i forget his user name. i bought stuff from him, good guy to deal with. or there is a site that sells red/blue conversions for ludes/accords etc. forgot the name, would require a google search.

Pretty sure there is a JVC one that has orange and a bunch of changeable colors that is a dvd player and navi and all that. Also pretty sure kenwood and pioneer have the same thing. hope that helps haha sorry if you already figured it out just thought I would comment quick.
