Ambient Lighting

[NecroFIesh]

I suppose the dealers that had them on order got their re-up from Honda of Japan! I'll check your other thread for updates.

How do you access the light above the wireless charger?

You need to take apart some of the center console. There are a few videos/tutorials floating around.

Ok, I’ve taken apart just the portion to change the shift knob & paint the bezel & need to repaint it anyway, so it sounds like I need to remove the same stuff as before & then just keep going to get to the light. Looking to FINALLY try to get the budget lighting option done this week hopefully. It’s a cold, wet walk down to the shop where I’m parked right now until tomorrow tho. Lol

That’s right. You need to remove the leather strip that goes from the center console to above the glove box. Then it’s a matter of removing 2 or 3 screws (look closely), and then it’ll remove easily. If it doesn’t, that means you missed a screw.

If you’re going to go with the budget lighting option, just get some red tape and stick it up and over the charger pad. That’s what I did in the pics I posted. Everywhere else I upgraded from the tape to the paint to the actual Type-R red LEDs.

Oh, you mean as in you just put the tape over the led without taking anything apart? I have the red tape. I thought it was just for the led strip on the door panel.

Correct. Just position some tape on the cealing of the wireless charger. Much easier to install and easier to reverse if you don’t like it.

Oh sweet, I was going to take everything apart & tape the led in the charger area! lol thanks for the heads up!

So I took everything out & painted the lenses in the doors, put red brake tape on the charger & overhead lights. I like it! But I agree that it’s rather dim. I don’t like my gauges that bright at night but could use some more red, so went ahead & ordered the red leds.

How about adding accent light piping and handle lights to the rear doors?

100% which they would’ve done that. As well as a couple small ambient lights in the rear similar to the front. Makes a big difference at night with kids, being able to see them, & them being able to entertain themselves better lol

Who is up to the task? Let’s see some attempts!

So Honda Parts Now is saying this item is discontinued. Is there another part number to use by chance? I’ve tried ordering two different times so far, a few months ago & a few days ago with no luck.

I ended up going to my local Honda dealer, and I was able to negotiate a better per unit price since I was ordering several. Sure it took a couple months, but it all worked out in the end.

You mentioned the 34750-T20-A01 that is only $5. This is the white glovebox light from the CTR.
If you want Red lighting then you need the 34750-T20-R01 part.

The part is a LED module. It is a small rectangle. Basically all the lights on the Integra are the same module. All I am doing is swapping to the 34750-T20-R01 part. They are all plug and play.

The ambient strip is controlled by one LED and the door handle lights are a different LED. But both can be swapped with the 34750-T20-R01 part number. I honestly forgot about the door handle LED until today so I plan to buy two more parts to swap them out with.

Long story short, order 7 - 34750-T20-R01.
2 for the LET strips
2 for the door handles
2 for the footwell
1 for the above the wireless charger

Do the LED strips and door handles at the same time while the door liner is off
The footwells are super easy and take 30sec
The one above the wireless charger is a challenge. Id recommend watching the install video of the Idle Stopper () to show how to take the center console apart.

Please note that the lens on the LEDs are all a little bit different. But they pop off and swap very easy. The lens that comes with the 34750-T20-R01 will fit the footwells. I needed to swap out the lens for above the wireless charger the LED Strips and the the door pockets.

Fun fact, drill a hole in the lens of the footwell lights to make them brighter.

Just picked mine up today & put them in! Question - when you say “drill” the plastic lens of the footwell lights do you mean with a small 1/8” drill bit or larger light 1/4”?
