Standard LED lighting in the interior of a modern car is no longer surprising, but our cars were developed back in the mid-2000s, and at that time LED technology had not yet become so widespread in everyday use. However, Honda engineers decided to give us, Civic owners, the opportunity to retrofit the car with such a cool accessory to match the ultra-modern (for 2005) space design, which after almost 15 years remains relevant to this day.

I really like the factory LED interior lighting, it modernizes the interior and gives a certain coziness, so I have not left the thought of it since the purchase of the car. Another evening, monitoring various design options on Civics and other cars, I decided to install an OEM device and began searching for it. After some time I found a new one for a completely reasonable price, called, paid and picked it up in 2 weeks.
When I opened the box, I was very surprised by the complete set in small details and the most detailed instructions on as many as !72 pages 51 points and in 5 languages: English, French, German, Dutch and Italian. Therefore, the installation became a very pleasant experience

    Equipment

As soon as it got free time, I removed the trims and took them home. I washed them from dust, dried them and started the most terrible part - drilling the trims. Fortunately, there is a cool stencil, according to which making the correct holes for the lampshades will not be a problem.

    Cut out the stencil

    I apply

    I fix it with masking tape and drill holes of       the required diameter

Next, i assemble all this stuff, wrap it with electrical tape near the green chips, as stated in the instructions.

The most attentive ones might have noticed that of the three backlight lampshades, two have white tape and one has blue tape. Moreover, the lampshade with the blue tape is installed to illuminate the pocket under the climate control. Visually, they are no different, they shine the same, but the instructions prescribe installation in exactly this order. Who knows - write why?
The next day, I went to the box and pulled the wiring and installed the button.

Well, here's a photo of that very original backlight. In real life, the light is not bright, more subdued than in the photo, and does not distract from driving at all, but gives a certain airiness to the panel.

I haven't drilled the cover for the central lamp yet - I don't know if there is a need for light there, and there is a cord for connecting a phone sticking out there. And if I make a backlight, then the USB should be moved to the pocket under the curtain behind the selector. For the sake of the overall picture, I also threw on the central lamp.

Installation OEM backlight from hybrid to civic FD2

OEM is our everything. The list has been expanded with pedal assembly illumination from FD3.
34760-SND-003
I connected it not to the side lights as by default in the hybrid, but so that when the front doors are opened, the illumination lights up, and when closing, after 4-5 seconds, it gradually fades out like in a chandelier in the cabin. I think this configuration is more convenient for me. It's great at night, you open the door, the illumination unobtrusively greets you, you sit down, close the door, the illumination gradually fades out. I won't even mention the overexposure of the cabin and the diode strips)

The chip through which the chandelier is connected in the cabin is located under the fuse box, in it we find two wires: blue (+12) and pink (- from the door switch). I paralleled the right and left sides and connected.

FD3 and FD7

 In real life there is more light, the camera does not convey it

In addition, I will say that the light is less bright than the original accessory pedal assembly illumination with a button,
everything is fine!

Optional connector Civic FD

Pada hari ini saya ingin kongsikan sedikit maklumat tentang Optional Connector yang terdapat pada kereta honda civic FD2.

Saya menggunakan soket optional ini untuk memasang atmosphere light. Untuk makluman manufacture honda ada mengeluarkan aksesori untuk atmosphere light. Atmosphere light yang dikeluarkan oleh honda ini berfungsi dengan mendapatkan sumber tenaga dari soket optional ini untuk berfungsi. Jadi kita tidak perlu lagi memotong wire yang terdapat pada wiring kereta. Walaupun atmosphere light ini dikeluarkan oleh pihak honda namun kebanyakan kereta honda FD2 tidak didatangkan dengan kit ini, kerana kit ini adalah aksesori dan perlu dibeli berasingan. Namun untuk mendapatkan kit ini sekarang amatlah sukar kerana barangan ini sudah dihentikan pengeluaran dan jika nak dapatkanya juga perlulah rajin mencari di kedai halfcut dan perlu diingat kos untuk barang ini sekarang boleh tahan harganya.

Jadi untuk menjimatkan kos saya mendapat idea untuk melakukan sendiri proses DIY wire harness atmosphhere light ini. Nanti wire harness ini akan dipasang di kereta saya tanpa ada proses pemotongan wire. Sama seperti kit yang dikeluarkan oleh honda, hanya sambungkan ke soket optional terus atmosphere ini berfungsi apabila pintu kereta dibuka 

Tetapi kali ini saya kongsikan dulu fungsi wire yang terdapat pada soket ini. Nanti saya akan kongsikan bagaimana saya buat wiring harness untuk atmosphere light ini.

Untuk makluman optional connector ini terdapat pada fius box di bahagian dalam kereta atau bahasa automotive honda dipanggil MICU. Jika di bahagian MICU Optional connector ini adalah male.  Terdapat 6 pins pada male connector ini. 4 pin di bahagian atas dan dua pin di bahagian bawah. 

   Lokasi socket pin male 

      Pin female

          Pin out male

Pin 1: Green

 +12V when reverse gear is engaged, 0V otherwise.

Pin 2: Red

A fluctuating voltage which ranges +0.3  < V < +0.8 when ignition is switched, 0V otherwise. No idea what this is for.

Pin 3: Blue

+1.3V with parking lights (sidelights), 0V             otherwise. Again, not sure what this is for.

Pin 4: Orange

+12V with parking lights (sidelights), 0V otherwise.

Pin 5: Pink

+12V constant from battery (must insert in fuse no 27 (Use for Honda Accessory Connection under dash)

Pin 6: Purple

+12V switched with ignition, 0V otherwise.

Kesimpulannya soket optional ini mempunyai pelbagai fungsi dan salah satunya ialah atmosphere light. Saya harapkan perkongsian ini memberi manfaat kepada penguna-pengguna civic FD2 di luar sana.

Sekian terima kasih.
