No soldering. The LEDs are straight swaps for the old bulbs.
The only thing to be aware of is the length of the LED. Some are too long to fit in the space.

thats odd? when i got mine, the converter was on the vss and had no vtec in 1st but no speed limiter, so moved it behind the clocks because i wanted vtec and it did engage the speed limiter (i know fo shooore because i was.....playing...with a golf r32, pulled away at x speed then the limiter kicked in and he went past me thinking he'd battered me! LOL) fitted robs chip and no more limiter

Judging by what has turned up in other Preludes it's probably one of those Durex singles boxes

I'll have a look at any rate and report back on the mystery box!

That's awesome, is there a code for the LED bulb type or is it just your standard maplins jobbies, as I've got a load of small headed red and white LEDs upstairs in my model train toolbox

So are the legal flares battery powered or something?? They look a bit torch like. I want one of the ones that shoots sparks

better yet get a flare gun
