I was thinking about lightning on VTEC couple years ago too, but what's the point ? :) When VTEC kicks, nobody will manage to even notice the sign, they just can wave goodbye :D I connected to side lights.

EDIT: ^^^ good one. Never saw this made, but had this idea maybe 5 years ago, just black background, red letters. Never did that, had not enough time because more important things to do to Prelude :)

Was the upper light ever a brake light? Mine came as standard with the prelude logo and was always wired to come on with the side lights has never worked as a brake light.
Just put in super bright blue l.e.d bulbs to show through the tints!!!!

JohnnyB had the idea of wiring it as a vtec light a few years back.

Don't know if he ever completed the install though.

If it's wired for VTEC, the sign should read VTEC. :!:
I've voted for it to come on with the side lights.

No Pushki, the sign should read, 'VTEC YO!'

:lol:

A nice idea and easy enough to acheive. I installed a VTEC light in my dash like the link, it's a doddle. But the correct way like JayJay's epic one is to wire in a separate power source and use the VTEC feed for a relay switch.

From what I've seen, there is two types, a red tiled item as a third brake light (like I have) or a blue/turqoise lit Prelude logo which as Dbo says comes on with the sidelights.

I was going to suggest VTEC as well if you hadn't thought of it. You could always have a number of different stencils made up and swap them over whenever you feel like a change.

Something as simple as "SEE YA!" would do it lol
