hey legendary how did your break down go....I have it like this so far

9 festoons - 4 door panels, 3 rear domes, 1 trunk, 1 glove box

4 168\194 bulbs - 4 fornt domes

8 - 74 bulbs - 1 shifter display (auto), 1 ignition ring, 1 cigarette ring, 1 ashtray, 4 a\c display (no climate control)

oh and I think the footwells are type 74, and also aren't the gauges or gauge cluster, I know one is a 1.4 watt bulb but aren't there 74's in the region? I didn't even check cause I am putting led lights bars to light my floor instead, and I haven't gotten to the gauges stage. I am just wondering why our numbers are so off...mine is an L, if your is an LS that might be why, my brother has an LS but he lives in santa cruz, so I can't check out his car...although it ought to be similar

EDIT: also
10 LEDs - 8 LEDs for my a\c unit, 1 for cruise control, 1 for rear defroster

Since we are all on the topic, I guess I should throw this in the mix, so we can tackle it together, the singular buttons like cruise control and just the little button lights, are all lit up by these tiny bulbs (they are the ones mikeD labeled "for all switches" on the left ) http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31019&highlight=gauge+lights

The link says the window switches are 74 bulbs by the way so there are even more 74 bulbs to consider...

I pulled some of these, and they all have different numbers I have one saying 2, one saying 4, one saying 8, so I don't know what kind of bulb or how I could replace these to make them a different color, because without them our projects will seem incomplete. The only idea I got is tinitng them some way, but they are already kind of dim, so tint would just make thatworse...has anyone else done these?

hey g2-- what kind of car do you have??

 

[LEGENDARY 93]

sedan or coupe??

 

[2gracer]

I have a sedan...I also don't know where I read that the window switches are 74, so maybe it was just late....

[LEGENDARY 93]

are the front dome bulbs different than the rear ones?? i didnt even bother checking-- what are they, then??

 

[2gracer]

the front domes are 194 bulbs, and the rear bulbs are festoons....for sedans anyways....

 

[brooklyn legend]

hey guys Im really interested in this. Ca some one post a complete list of the light bulb sizes for the sedans and coupes. Also I dont know of 93-95 Sedan model legends are using different lighting units.

can you list out the bulb numbers for all interior lights listed below?

-front door:
-rear door:
-font spot light:
-front reading:
-rear reading:
-trunk:
-glove compartment:
-visor:
-dome:
-3rd brake:
-footwells:


Thanks

 

[5spdCoupe]

ordered mine and got them in less than a week...they are great and just what i wanted...finally found them...they are hard to find for the legend....i wanna do my a/c and all the dash lights...how many should i order ( for a coupe )

 

[2gracer]

hey brooklyn check my post and I think they are there, but here it is again, this is for my L sedan I don't have a gs or a coupe but most of it should be the same for sedans anyways...

-front door: 3022 and 3423 festoon
-rear door: 3022 and 3423 festoon
-font spot light: 194\168
-front reading: 194\168
-rear reading: 3022 festoon
-trunk: 3022 and 3423 festoon
-glove compartment: 3022 festoon
-visor: it is an extremely tiny festoon, I have no clue the type and I forget the measurement...I was hoping someone might know so I was gonna ask, regardless I don't think they make colored ones so small...I am trying to find a way around changing the bulb, like that blue saran wrap, there is a post on it
-dome: 3022 festoon
-3rd brake: 1156 according to sylvania...
-footwells: 74

just a note on the festoons, I have 31mm x 10mm and they do not fit in the dome lights, and I assume the glovebox, although I am not sure, they do fit in the doors panels, and the trunk, BUT keep in mind these were LED ones from superbrightleds.com so they are slightly different from incandescent (the middle is fatter) although thinking back I think it's metal connectors on the ends were too big but I have heard of people bending the connectors I just didn't want to...hope that helps

5spdcoupe do you have climate control or not? I do not have climate control, but if you do look at mikeD's pics here: http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31019&highlight=gauge+lights and try to determine from that. For the non-climate control you would need 4 74 bulbs to change them all...2 for the people (top and bottom) and 2 for the levels (hot or cold, and how hard it blows, assuming you even want to do that). If you are also replacing the LEDs you will need 8 in the a\c unit, and 1 for cruise control, and 1 for rear defroster so 10 total LEDs. Buttons like the moonroof open button or close buttons (where it has a dim white light lighting up the writing) use some wierd tiny bulb...again mikeD has posted pics in that thread under the label for all switches. I also do not know what type this is, or where it might be found...again I makeshift solution will have to be used, such as painting the sign blue or tinting it someway...I doubt they make those bulbs colored....

hope that helps you two out

 

[LEGENDARY 93]

so has anyone found out if there is a way to change the color on the digital displays of the a/c, the h/u and the clock??

 

[2gracer]

if it helps you, look at mikeD's pics of the auto climate control, from what I can see the clock is the same thing, so however you change the clock is how you change the climate control...I could get you pics of what the bare clock looks like, but like I said it's kind of hard for me to tell what lights it up, as it does not look like a traditional bulb, perhaps tinting it might do the trick. I searched some accord articles at SHO and found only 6th gen help and the 6th gen accord you just replaced a bulb, and it lit the background not the numbers like ours...5th gens lit the numbers not the background, so if you can find something on that it would help you out alot, I am going to check HS because I am pretty interested in this portion too, I'm just focusing on other portions now....the only thing I found that could be useful is the fact that the clock may be lit up by a wierd type of led, it looks like a bulb, but is really a sort of spread out led instead of a pointed one...also because these bulbs are probably only available from honda, and do not come in color options, it means you might start thinking of a way around just replacing a bulb...like I said perhaps tinting it...OR you could replace whatever is there with leds...but that might be hard ebcause you need to find the correct brightness and viewing angle and a good resistor etc etc...it might involve something like retrofitting an led, I have a good info document on that, it seems most accord owners did their dash that way instead of just replacing bulbs...

 

[LEGENDARY 93]

hey 2g what is the difference between the 194 and the 168 sizes. or are they the same? you said those are for the front dome and reading lights. where are they on that site??

 

[LEGENDARY 93]

i bought the wrong ones- i got the regular bulbs instead of the xenon ones so i am gonna send me back and get the right ones this time. how many of the 74's do you think i should get to replace all of them??

 

[LEGENDARY 93]

also, how do i remove the front dome light cover?? i feel like i am gonna break it... i broke the cover for the 74 on the passenger footwell... i dont wanna break anymore!!

 

[LEGENDARY 93]

oh and for the 194 do i get the silver version or the xenon version??

 

[88Legend_SedanL]

[88Legend_SedanL]

Haha...well i have a g1 so whatever i told you would be mostly useless.
