Well i was wondering if anyone here has already upgraded to this?
Are there LED upgrades for all the lights in the civic?

    You can buy LED replacement bulbs for anything.. Just as you use the correct bulb code..

    DIY is the best way. We did this to my old t-bird and it worked out pretty good. Super cheap when you do it yourself. You just have to make sure you wire it up right.

    So what are all the bulb codes for all the light in the wagon?

    I know the rears are 1157s... I think..

    Pull the bulb out and it will have a number on it.

    I am incredibly anti changing lights, to a certain extent. Front lights on EFs are pretty shit so i'll let you get away with that one as long as you align the lights properly.

    LED rear lights are so annoying that when i see them i want to bash the crap outta the bastards that use them.

    THEY BLIND THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT BALLER DOESN'T MEAN YOU AIN'T GONNA GET PUNCHED IN THE BALLS.

    Please, think of other motorists and don't use those pieces of shit on the back end of your car.

    Well if you have LED lights in regular bulb housings they aren't that bright.. All they do is light up faster.. Now Cadillacs and cars like that with OEM led lights are bright as hell!

    Yeah those are the ones i'm meaning, with the LED array in the tail lights etc.

    The only LED I like in our cars is in the inside for the dome lights. Makes a big difference.
  • SweetOhSweetOh Wagonist
    Well i got the dome bulbs and those are very bright. And the only other bulbs i was looking at changing was the corner...
    If not led, are there some brighter bulbs?
    Oh i also got some Fog/driving lights. They fill in the dark spots nicely.
    i get a Lighting range pick here soon.

    But like i said the only other bulbs i would like to improve are those corner light mostly the front corner running lights. As you can tell in the 1st pic there a little yellow.

    Start by using a bit of buffing compound on them, if that doesn't work then buggered if i know. :)

    I just went along with the yellowing theme and put 194A bulbs in Pebbles' wagon. I think it looks kinda cool, looks intentionally amber instead of old and dingy.

    LED dome lights, you say? Is there an LED available that fits the stock fixture?

    Yep i got them off of ebay. Since there leds they have the blue touch to them. But a improvement over stock.

    I checked today, they have the blue ones at my local advance, but no white. I just bought new incandescents, brightened it up a good bit.

    A good resource I found for LED's and supplies is http://www.superbrightleds.com . They are a little bit more expensive than the ebay versions, but even their 194 wedge bulbs have a built in regulating circuit to keep the proper current going to the diodes. These are the ones I put in my convertible's license plate and cabin lamps.
