What is the tiny blue light in the roof between the passenger and drivers lights for?

Seems to do very little.

Pottsy has done a "How To", to make it a bit brighter, if you care to do a search.
A member has replaced the bulb with a larger one, and posted within the last few days. Please use the Search, as it saves so much space.

Think a brighter bulb may be a distraction when driving at night.

True alastair, but the standard one is a bit something of nothing, isn't it.

Interesting way of putting it.

How to change a led

There you go.
Good search engine, isnt it.

Pottsy took the light cover off and using a little dremel drill, increased the slit in the plastic to an oval shape, to follow the shape of the bulb, so it would all look neat and tidy.

I don't mind it not having a real use it adds a little bit of interest to the cabin at night

I have the same light in my CR-V and it seems slightly brighter
though it could just be my imagination

also the i-shift car have a glossy clear perspex cover ontop of the gear lever and the little blue light reflects off this

This would make a nice addition to the interior lamp.....abit bloomin brighter than the flippin blue bulb honda gave us.....

Sorry....in one of those 'silly' moods

Its quirky things like this that make the Civic so desireable!
I'd leave it alone

andyp · 11th November 2007, 17:00

Pottsy · 11th November 2007, 18:40

It wasn't me who did that - I just took some photos of it:

Sorry Pottsy,
I thought that it was your cunning plan, to oval out the little slit in the light cover.
