In dash bulbs.

Well I'm having trouble finding a nice dash bezel that's not already been cut. The one in my Jimmy now was cut when I bought it and it's all f'd up. I guess I'll have to buy one from LMC. Every one I buy from the junkyard ends up being a year off or something, because they never fit.
 
On mine, I have a piece of thin steel that fits into the area of the stereo mount. This allows me to have a slightly larger opening in the plastic, and if the plastic is cracked it doesn't hurt anything. I run the screws through the steel, then use the stereo's tabs to press against the back of the plastic to help hold the whole assembly in place.
 
Also, there are wedge socket LEDs! Maybe look into replacing your original ones with those? Check this one out for example, "the brightest on the market":

I don't know if there'll be clearance issues with that shape though, but if so there are others. I haven't gotten to my dash yet, but when I do I'll try both LEDs and DupliColor NiteLites fluorescent silver paint. :D
 
I'll second the painting idea, very good upgrade... you can also add some of the colored bulbs for that cool Honda guy effect, but then you'd need more stickers and a NOS subwoofer bottle :rolleyes:
