Hey guy/gals one of the first questions i have is if the stock bulbs for the cup holder and floor board can be changed with a changing multicolor bulb. and if so how would the stock "illumination" button fit into the idea?

 

if there is a will, there is a way


as for the way, i dont really know. Wish i could be more help. Im sure someone else around here will know to do it

 

did you mean to say
"If ther is a WILL there is a way"?

I dont know how the stock illumination is, I did all mine myself.
You can change out the cupholder LED with a color changing one.
The way I am doing mine is with an RGB LED connected to a contoller card.
I've got my Grab handles fabbed up, I just have to install them. Then I'm doing the cup holders.
Right now my cup holders are white LED's and I have Blue Cathodes under the dash and seats.

 

The RS4 has the multicolor changing lights in it, not sure exactly how that works though but if scion did it from the factory it can be done.

 

First of all, congrats on the new box!

And yes, odds are it would be as simple as replacing the led... however, using that method, you wouldn't be able to control the colors, it would just cycle.

You might be better off wiring something completely custom.

 

U MIGHT BE ABLE TO..ON MY RS 4.0, U CAN MAKE THEM CHANGE INTERMITTENTLY OR MAKE THEM STAY ONE STEADY COLOR....

 

^ Yes, but I'd be willing to bet that the single color switch is just an on off... not one that would cycle colors.

And Slim... please... capslock... turn it off.

 

if u hold the switch down for about 10 seconds....they will change colors back and forth...i got mine like that right now...

 

Right, but that's for the multicolor kit offered on the RS4.0

It's gotta be different... but who knows. Someone's gotta try it first.

 

thanks for the info. i should prob run over to the scion dealer and see if i can get the same deal in my RS1.0 as the RS4.0 has

 

omg i never knew that lol i didnt know they could change automatically that is awesome i ran down after i read that post and tried it...its awesome!! My avic-d3 nav headunit scans colors too so it all flows nicley!

Thanks im glad i finally found this out almost a year later lol

 

yeah my 7 yr old son is the one that figured that out the day I got my rs4.0....been like that for a year now... Was told u can make the stock head unit do the same... Never tried though... Got a kenwood ddx-7019 headunit now...

 

sweet!


Yeah the stock one did change colors but i sold it like a week after i got the car.

 

Its an LED cluster not a bulb so if you can find the LED cluster from the RS 4.0 then you can have it done. I have the blue ones from Scion and I installed them myself. Another question, how do you mount the light bar for under the dash? I just can't seem to get the mounting points right!

 

Zip ties work best...thats what i used on my tC and i knwo the majority of dealers use them when installing the cathodes.

 

My 05 camo has color changing leds in the cup holders. They can rotate through the colors or stay steady on any one that you choose. It came from the dealer like that so im sure they sell a multi color kit which you could just put in place of the single color you have.

 

i know the zip tie part but where the dealer/ Toyota drilled in order to mount them using the hardware they included in with it.
