That may or may not be true but I would trust garage's work before others. Whispaz 04-29-2008, 05:10 AM i'm not saying that it wasnt a good diy, in fact i agree that it was very well done. i just remember seeing a bunch of posts regarding this led swap, might just be my imagination though Dispatcher138 04-29-2008, 07:53 AM its for an xD. randomsuper 04-29-2008, 01:59 PM garage, pm sent.

One slight difference in the xD & xB2....... http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-6/1188285/coveroff!.JPG The part where you seperate the board housing from the light tube is covered with more of that 'foam' insulation' http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-6/1188285/LEDhousing.JPG You will have to peel that foam back to expose where you need to place your small flat sfcrewdriver to pry apart the clips & seperate the back housing from the light tube!!! Excellent help for all of us.. thanks agian.......... for those who want to see another thread.. ( & It's very long!!) see here... http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=177833 Thanks agian Garage1217 for making it simple!!!! jh SinZz 04-30-2008, 08:37 AM hey.. i just wanted to know if white is legal in California.. i'd hate to get hassled by the cops if i plan to do this SinZz-- Zsanz 04-30-2008, 11:36 AM oh i know the laws lol whites illegal too i just was really lucky that the civic that pulled up behind me had no licence and im pritty sure he was running a open header so he just told me to leave Garage1217 05-06-2008, 05:15 AM Yeah did an xB this weekend, the foam sucks. Just used a razor blade to cut around it. No biggie. Coming this week, WICKED 5 chip superflux leds! WAY brighter than the two and four chip versions I have been useing which blew the competitions out of the water. They are rated at 100ma MCD rating is 46,000 Color temp for white is 6500 to mimick 6-8K hids! Price TBA. Preorders welcome, just PM me. Garage1217 05-06-2008, 05:25 AM Forgot to add, these are considered 1/2W leds now!! Also are rated for 140 degree dispersion over the normal 120 degrees. The max MCD rating is 50,000. Nominal power input is 3.6V! Price is $1.25ea!! Cheaper than the old versions as I worked out a stellar deal on a LARGE QTY! jimmbomb 05-06-2008, 11:33 PM Forgot to add, these are considered 1/2W leds now!! Also are rated for 140 degree dispersion over the normal 120 degrees. The max MCD rating is 50,000. Nominal power input is 3.6V! Price is $1.25ea!! Cheaper than the old versions as I worked out a stellar deal on a LARGE QTY! Are these going to be of the 4 'post' design just like the s-flux's??? or just a 2 'poster'??? If they are the 4 posters, then I am gonna need 6 of them for my mirrors to swap out the s=fluxes :P :P thanks.. jh Garage1217 05-07-2008, 02:36 AM Package wise, they are identicle to the old 4 post. Garage1217 05-14-2008, 06:54 PM New 5 chip sickness is in stock! My god they are insane bright! Garage1217 05-15-2008, 05:10 PM The first photo shows... - Standard single chip superflux on the left - 2 chip superflux in the middle - New 5 chip superflux on the right I ran them at 3.2VDC and put a peice of paper over them to show the brightness difference between the three. You can see the new 5 chip is a monster! To the eye it is pure white. The older 2 chip were a purpleish white. http://www.garage1217.com/LEDWORK/sfcomparo.jpg http://www.garage1217.com/LEDWORK/newsuperflux.jpg Garage1217 05-22-2008, 02:32 AM Bump! redline8k 05-22-2008, 04:39 AM pm sent! xseveredveganx 05-27-2008, 02:53 AM Well I decided to do my mirrors... A buddy of mine had 6 of the superflux LEDs laying around. I'm still not sure which ones they were, but I do believe they are the 2 chip ones. I may upgrade to the 5chip... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y258/xseveredveganx/mirror2.jpg It was a little difficult at first because I'd never soldered anything smaller than 12awg wires and 1/0cable... But as soon as I got my technique down, it was cake! I think start to finish, this job would take probably max 30minutes. And when I mean start to finish, I mean popping off the covers, disassembly, etc. It's a nice little touch, that's for sure! Garage1217 06-02-2008, 07:31 PM Good work! redline8k 06-02-2008, 11:45 PM did you ever get my PM??? -nick Garage1217 06-02-2008, 11:59 PM I do not think so, Have not gotten any pm's for awhile now since SL was down and even just before that, just went dead. jimmbomb 06-03-2008, 12:04 AM I got mine, garage 1217. thanks alot.. BUT I stuck mine under the plastic peice over the radiator.. spaced 8 of 'em out so now it lights up the behind the grill area even behind the lower grill..

If you think they are amber because they look yellow looking into them, all white leds will look yellow. when not powered on, Please PM back and I will work it out with you & if we made a shipping error and shipped the wrong qty, my apologies, you will be taken care of. xseveredveganx 09-17-2008, 02:12 AM I got all my stuff!

Also the blasted needles on the xb2 are tinted so that makes any color other than red on those near impossible. Overall, a very unfriendly car to swap. ExcelRevs 03-29-2009, 07:21 PM no, i meant like side mirrors, license plate, reverse light, etc..not interior lights Garage1217 03-30-2009, 12:21 AM Ah sorry I do not have any pics of those items.

Are you looking for front or rear or all? And yeah Az rocks :) was shorts weather today at 70 hahaha! ocotillo 01-10-2010, 12:38 AM I have dome lights :) Two versions! Are you looking for front or rear or all? And yeah Az rocks :) was shorts weather today at 70 hahaha! I wore shorts today- below 30 all day:frown:and froze my nuts off. But, I did get my seat covers installed.:biggrin: I need to get with you on the main dome light and license plate. I currently have cathode tubes under the seat and front foot wells. Do you have anything to replace those? BTW- This guy rocks. Anyone needing leds or led work done needs to contact Jeremy. Great service! Garage1217 01-10-2010, 12:43 AM Thanks man!

I want something that matches your 194 bulb I have in the front map lights. Garage1217 01-10-2010, 02:35 AM The new style is VERY bright. It is not a 100% color match but it is close. Not possibly for a flawless match as they are totally different types / builds of leds. ocotillo 01-12-2010, 12:06 AM What I have now is the Oznium 5" x 1.5" Ultra thin domelight in blue. I want to go away from the blue lights and go to white. Will the light out put of the 36 chip led dome exceed what I have? Garage1217 01-12-2010, 12:55 AM Mine would have a tiny bit less output as my boards have 12 leds / 36 chips vs 14 for that board. However for the price of the Oznium, you could buy two of mine for a total of 24 leds / 72 chips which would kick the crud out of that dome output wise! Also my priority mail is only $5.55 so you would save money anyways! Garage1217 01-23-2010, 12:24 AM Been a very busy few weeks with the new products on the website! Do not forgot to check out the new flagship LED dome lights! They are wicked! http://store.garage1217.com/new-flagship-36-chip-dome-light-36led-output-wi3636.html We also now stock a longer festoon for the xA as well! http://store.garage1217.com/new-aluminum-3175-festoon-bulb-color-matches-the-194168317519416839.html And for those that have older clusters with twist style bulbs, we have our custom built led replacements that cast a very even light! Mr2 guys are going nuts for them! I bet the Lexus guys will catch on quick as well! http://store.garage1217.com/custom-twist-socket-aluminum-ringed-high-output-bulb.html Garage1217 02-08-2010, 03:08 PM Monday BUMP!

DarkBox8 04-16-2010, 10:31 PM Hey Garage, Any pics of what those HID White w/ Violet tint aluminum 194s look like?? Might be interested and they sound pretty cool... randomsuper 04-17-2010, 12:17 AM white and violet together sounds very cool as long as all lights match. also interested in some pics. Garage1217 04-17-2010, 02:14 AM Pics cannot show the true color, they are quite spectacular, not just a plain boring white :) randomsuper 04-17-2010, 03:02 AM if the front and rear dome and hatch light can be bought in that color i'll place an order right now. i didn't see the option on your site for the festoons. Garage1217 04-17-2010, 03:09 AM Yes, they all match that color. Festoons are located here... http://store.garage1217.com/new-aluminum-3022-festoon-bulb-color-matches-the-194168302219416839.html randomsuper 04-17-2010, 03:12 AM i see hid white. so is that the violet color? i only see the violet tint option on the 194 bulbs. Garage1217 04-17-2010, 03:25 AM You got it, the HID white will have the hint of violet to it. randomsuper 04-18-2010, 03:40 AM pm sent. randomsuper 04-19-2010, 12:55 AM payment sent. Garage1217 05-04-2010, 08:33 PM Tuesday BUMP! Man this year is FLYING! Is it May already? randomsuper 05-21-2010, 03:51 AM got my stuff today. now to install the led's in the mirrors. any tips? Garage1217 05-21-2010, 04:01 AM Glad you got them! Just take your time and do not cook the leds. Use a solder sucker to remove the old solder from the stock led pins. Once most of the solder is removed, you can just use a pair of pliers to pull each led off the board. They should come out with little effort if you get most of the solder off. Also do not forget to pay attention to the led polarity! They are marked with a little notch on the corner of each led. This should match the factory leds exactly or none will light up. 45SSxb2 05-22-2010, 09:31 PM hey if i never soldered before should i attempt this i am brave and pretty handy Garage1217 05-22-2010, 11:43 PM It is not that bad so I think you would be ok if you were handy. randomsuper 06-18-2010, 01:35 AM pm sent garage1217. randomsuper 06-25-2010, 02:03 PM garage, do you have any kind of warranty on the led lights? one of my dome lights has stopped working.
