Nice 8-) I think cars look so much classier when the footwells are lit. Love the colour coordination too, was it hard to change the colour on the ignition ring?

that is the standard chip in your ecu.
the mph converter if fitted after the ecu makes 1st gear Vtec possible and removes the limiter.
but fitted vss side it stops 1st gear Vtec ;)

Blue LEDs. Pretty easy to change over.
I did the ashtray and switch lights too.

converted fitted after the ecu gives u mph+vtec in first but keeps the speed limiter, vss side gives u mph, no vtec in first but removes the limiter.

you need to untape that thing and see what it is, id say that the little chip next to the black box is your mph converter aswell

That's seriously nice 8-) must take some patience doing the switches, did you have to solder them?

I started lighting up the inside of my Accord, I did every cubbyhole and door pocket. My chosen colour was red though and I could never see anything :lol: I want to change over the dashes and switches in all my cars to red like the Audi used to be, but it'd be mega hassle and I'm crap at soldering :(
