WTB someone with experience - Honda Prelude Forum

SuperSeven · 04-06-2006, 03:50 PM

So I'm trying to buy a nice prelude, one off the boards, but i was curious, since i don't have the experience doing a lil bit of the electrical work, i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help or do a JDM climate control swap for me, i need the led's all converted to blue. I guess the short list would be this

All LED's switched to Blue
Dash Gauges switched to blue
JDM Climate control installed

That is all...

i dunno, i just recently got financially stable and away from my folks, so now i'm free to mod my lil daily driver to my heart's content

I will do these for anyone that wants one for 75 plus shipping for white and blue. I even converted all the lights that when you push the button it lights up white. If you want other than white or blue, add 10 bucks so i can buy other led's.

^^^^ those = teh sexy

yeah, i'm definetly down, one question, did u rig it up so that they stay bright even with the lights on? That was one thing I was reading about, but yeah. After I get this prelude i'm definetly down for that, I'm so glad I fell back in love with preludes

thats HOT.
how much for a normal CC? looks like the normal CC you just replace bulbs, but i was going to have you to resolder my selector connections as well.

That's nice man... so where exactly does this go... it fits right in where the old climate controls are? Any modifications needed or does it fit snugly?

preludestud11 · 04-07-2006, 05:20 AM

No it fits directly their, but to get it fully fuctional you need to add all the sensors and splice wires.

I havnt done it with a normal cc yet. let me finish one first then i will tell you if i can do it.

SNsLude · 04-07-2006, 06:13 AM

hmm adding sensors and splicing wires. Doesn't seem all that bad. planning on doing a write up? or is there one already... I may be interested after i get my car back from the shop.

SuperSeven · 04-07-2006, 07:54 AM

there's a really good write up on the board...I just seem to screw things up if I try anything but a head unit install

no worries. the resoldering connections i mentioned earlier is to fix the CC. my CC -- when you push the buttons to move air flow, the connection is not always made. you have to smack the dash a few times to get the connection made. someone said they resoldered the connections and it fixed it.

I know exactly what your talking about. I just havnt done it yet. I will be doing one as soon as a get back from getting my car tuned on april 22nd.

those Blue LEDs look nice!

Good luck with the JDM climate control - I don't think I'd care to install another one.

SNsLude · 04-08-2006, 04:33 AM

How much is it for just the JDM cc anyway? haven't looked at the ebay prices yet lol.

aneurysm · 04-08-2006, 07:09 AM

Just the console runs about $50-75 (I actually have a spare somewhere...). The kits the come with all the extra sensors and crap run about $250-300

the hard part about the jdm climate control is ripping out the entire dash... its not that bad but i wouldn't want to do it again.... if u need help let me know... i can show you how to do it since your local...

Which connection specifically needs to be soldered? I have the same problem.

As far as a standard CC w/ blue LEDS, here is how i did mine. Illuminated with blue LEDs, and the indicator lights are red LEDs. Picture isn't perfect, but you get the idea.
