well, you can't see it per say until it is dark out and once i take pics and get them posted, but you can imagine. i put 7 lights behind the "prelude" lettering in the center piece of the rear lights. anyways, what i did was take an 88 civic gauge cluster, and take all the lights ouf ot if. lights that i used were the ones for check engine brake etc. with a "t2" on the back of the little black holders for them. i then took the plastic circuit board from the back, and cut the spots out for where the lights would plug in and get their power. then i soldered on a length of wire to each "socket" from the flexible circuit board, and ran power from the license plate lights to power them. i think the size drill i used was 3/8" but i am not sure, i can check if you want. it made it a perfect fit they just push in nice and snug, and stay put easily. i think it looks pretty sweet, and yeah, it might be ghetto, but you can't see the ghetto part, just the nice part. i'll try to get pics if anyone wants them. hopefully i explained that ok, otherwise email me and i will try to be more specefic.

actually, after looking at it, it lights up behind each letter of prelude, which looks cool, but it is still daylight, so soon, soon. how do i post pics anyways?

post the pic. u exceeded your bandwidth

hondaman23 · 08-03-2002, 07:01 AM

the only thing about going form one side to the ohter is that there is a socket there for a light like the reverse lights between teh reverse lights and where i stopped. i could get one more ligth on each side before i would have to stop anyweays.

Pimpstecy · 08-03-2002, 08:17 AM

awwww i didnt know that.... Still would have looked nicer though..

bryanlude · 08-03-2002, 01:56 PM

I tried this on my 90SR, and bought the lights for the center section. Just regular holders for brake lights and bulbs.

I drilled out the light holders and installed the lights, but they only lit up the outside section and not the center. Damn.

I sure would like to light up the whole thing. I will keep trying though.
