I will have a writeup soon, just thought I would post up the diagram so you guys know what to order for the cluster. Some area's of the cluster do not have leds from the factory, I highlighted the color that they would be from the factory so in case you have leds in that specific area, then, you know what color they are :) Let me know if you have any questions!

One cool aspect of the XD cluster, it has dedicated leds to light the needles! So you can make vivid needle colors like mine that look more like lasers in person. VERY cool!

The quickest cheapest way to do the swap is to use RED leds for the gauge face leds. This makes the orange tach area RED. Any other color will make the tach dim as toyota hosed us on the face color. No worries, I am working on affordable gauge faces for the xD & other scions.

Very cool garage! Thanks. I have an incidental question. When you had the multifunction apart did you notice if there is a straightforward way to modify the warning buzzer? What I'd like to do is put a trim pot on it so it isn't as loud. Another possibility: Could a person swap in a more melodious oscillator? (I don't want to kill it completely but, as a last hope, does that look doable?)

I never noticed a sound from the interior of mine, Guess I have not had it long enough *LOL* The engine bay one is annoying though.

I had read somewhere that the alarm for seat belts, door open, lights on etc is integrated into the multifunction gauge package. Since you have taken them apart I thought maybe you would know more. Are we talking about the same alarm? If so is it actually in the engine bay or somewhere else in the dash? (Not in the gauge as I read.)

The beeping alarm with the keychain is in the dash someplace. Have to find that thing. Ticks me off haha.

When you leave your keys in the ignition, the beeper is built into the cluster.

Thanks for the diagram..will definitely be helpful down the road!

Looked over the board diag again, unless I am missing somthing, there is no buzzer on the gauge cluster circuit board. I think it is located in another location under dash. Will look into it further.

nice work jeremy, utahscions xD's will be psyched on this!

Excellent... seems easy enough to mod. Just a quick thought here, though... As far as the speedo/tach LEDs (the white ones) do you think there would be bleedover if you replaced the speedo ones with another color (say, blue) or left them white and put reds only under the tach side?

I would like to make my tach totally red, but I want to keep the speedo either white or blue... haven't decided what yet. I suppose you could just use foils as well... maybe red under the tach and blue under other stuff, while leaving the LEDs white. What do you think?

Answered via PM :)

What a pain with that orange gauge... let me know when you have some new faces fab'd up and I might have to think about it!

Are you going to be able to mimic the black tint?

The black tint is on the lense, it is not affected at all by the led swap :)

No no, I meant on the gauge faces if we switch those with aftermarket. Is the tint on the gauge itself or another lens in front?

Lense in front.

Bump!

New year bump!

Weekly bump!

Weekends almost gone :( BUMP!

Looking at the diagram, it doesn't appear that the speedo can be changed to a two-tone color scheme. Is that true or have you figured out a way to add a second color?

Yeah I can do the speedo no problem. Just back with white leds and put the translucent vinyl I sell in the color of your choice, in the areas you want that color to be.

Weekend BUMP!

Sunday BUMP!

Does the vinyl go on the tinted cover, or behind the speedo itself?

It goes on the back side of the gauge face.

Friday BUMP!

Almost the weekend BUMP!

BUMP!

Monday BUMP!

that looks like a PITA to get the leds on properly. i've worked with smd boards before never really worked out that well for me. the results are amazing when done properly though

Not to bad as plcc-2's are large. I knock them out daily :)

Easter BUMP!

Evening BUMP!

Sunday BUMP!

Just so you know, generally only amber or white turn signals are legal. Blue is almost certainly illegal everywhere, but I'd suggest checking your local laws before doing it. Don't let that deter you from getting a swap though, I got the white ones and they look great.

Weekend BUMP! Order parts today, they ship tomorrow "Monday"!!! Expected arrival would be Wednesday - Thursday!

no, blue gauge swap.

my turn signals are amber, and i'm getting some LED's for those soon.

still looking for a white LED door light. the overhead, and one in the back. bright enough to light up like the incandescent bulb does now. i don't want ANY bulbs in my car (except headlights). i already got the white LED back-up lights and license plate lights. i want LED turn signals and brake lights. soon, when i get $$$ LOL.

Monday blues BUMP! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Wednesday bump! Friday here we come!

Holidays are coming BUMP! I would sure love to earn your business! Hit us up anytime via PM, Email, Aim or Yahoo! I have been around for years rocking the scion community & plan many more years of quality LED work & products!

Tuesday night BUMP! Getting cold out, even here in Az!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Hope all travels were safe!

How does the Fuel gauge have 8 bars but only 4 leds ?
Do you have a board swap program where I could get a board and not have the wheels tied down for the duration of shipping?

The leds to not light up per fuel level, they are always on. It is the LCD that either polarizes or does not which lets light through or blocks it.

Also I cannot offer a swap program on any gauge clusters for any modern cars as they store the vehicles actual mileage on the circuit board.

Christmas is coming BUMP! Cannot wait! get your orders in asap for a quick delivery!

If I may ask:
What would the cost of LEDs for the fuel,odometer,clock and 3 HVAC knobs run.

I would like to do it myself, but need a link or directions to the HVAC changeing, and clock.

If it's not possible, that's O.K. too...

waiting for the cost est. :icon_juggle:

Well the leds run .59 cents each for plcc-2, the clock leds are .69 cents each for plcc-4. The clock takes 3-4 from memory, been a long time since I did an XD. You can modify the #74 bulbs I carry to work with the hvac unit, those are $2.99ea and you need 3 of them.

Sorry for the delayed response, did not see your post!

bwhite - If you ship your cluster to Garage1217 you can still drive your car, it just won't read the extra mileage you put on it and you won't know your speed or fuel level, but if you are confident on maintaining the correct speed and keeping gas in the tank, then you shouldn't have a problem...Trust me, I took a tC completely apart and the guy went shopping while I did the swap, he drove around with no HVAC, window buttons, steering wheel controls, or gauge cluster...Also, if you wanna save a lil money on shipping, you could always take the cluster apart and send him just the Board and your gauge face and needles depending on the type of swap you want...


Garage1217 - Hey, I made a thread asking for a volunteer for the xD gauge face mod, but if you swap yours for aftermarket before then, let me have your gauge face, or you can do what we talked about, I have confidence that it would work...

Right on man, no plans to swap mine out however. But will let you know if I do! I have some old 350Z gauge faces that are built the same way, welcome to try.

Weekend BUMP!

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

That new twist style you got is awesome...I see you took the wedge and modified it with a twist base, very smart...Now does that fit for all the old clusters, or is there a specific size/style that they match?

Well it fits most old style clusters that take a 168/194, T10, 2825, or W5W Twist Lock style bulb. The mr2 crowd has been snagging them up like candy! Cannot wait to find more clusters to test out with them. Wish I still had my 4runner, would be perfect for that bad boy!

And yeah, this bulb is not produced by anyone but me, I build them in house currently. Well until someone in china copies me *LOL*

So I'm about to begin doing a heavy sum of light mods and am pretty handy with a soldering device.

This is going to be a pretty demanding question, but I would greatly appreciate an answer to it.

I'm going to change all of the LEDs in these sections to lime green with white as the 2 tone in the dashboard. Where could I get ahold of these LEDs and what type would I need for:

-full dashboard
-mode button on the steering wheel
-automatic window buttons
-stereo (currently the 2009 system installed with changing screens)
-clock

Thanks in advance if you can answer this question.

You would need to specify which ride you have, but either way, take a trip over to www.garage1217.com (http://www.garage1217.com) or just PM him(The guy above you(Garage1217)) and he can get you all the lights you need to do the swap, and of course, you can find plenty of tips and tricks on here by searching...

Hello Laniergt, we spoke a bit on PM last night. Will speak more in detail on you list this afternoon :)

Monday BUMP!

Friday BUMP! This week has gone by way to slow!

Almost Friday bump!

TGIF BUMP!!!! Man this weekend could not come soon enough!

is there any way to get a diff color on the pioneer besides the blue and orange it comes with?

Yes, not an issue. What color(s) did you want to go with?

possibly WHITE. i hate that you can only make the stock orange of the a/c controls, clock, fuel gauge, etc. only to RED... is that correct? if so my interior is gonna have to be white/red then lol

The tach area you can only make red. All other areas, no biggie to do whatever you want color wise

oh alright, awesome. well let me get some other things done on my car first and ill get back to you with the correct color scheme. Thanks!

Tuesday BUMP! Man this year is FLYING! Is it May already?

Do you have any pictures of what the blue would look like? And how easy is the installation?

Install is VERY easy, but no pics of the blue yet. White is more popular. Just picture the whole interior WELL lit in vivid blue. Will look great!

Haha, I've never mod'ed a car before and would like to start with my xD. Miniscule lighting seems easiest and a good way to start. Are those flagship LED's plug-n-play?

Yes sir! Totally plug and play / easy install!

Can you refresh my memory on which bulb is for the xD headlight housing? After over a year one of my blue ones from ya died. Not complaining at all as you dont recommend putting them there anyway due to the heat...But I think I'll need to pick up two just in case. :D

Wow they lasted a year in the headlight housing? Not bad at all. Pm me with what version you had / if you can take a photo of it as I am curious.

Pick up the latest revision bulbs here.

TGIF Bump!

Quick question. The whole gauge cluster is PLCC-2 LED's? Thought I read something before about PLCC-4's somewheres in the xD's.

Thanks!

The xD cluster is all plcc-2. The clock assembly area takes plcc-4

Cool! Thanks! Know how many 4's for the clock area?

From memory you need 4 total for the clock area. I would get 5 just in case. 2 behind the clock and then you have the ones for the airbag and seatbelt area.

Awesome, thanks!

Monday is OVER WOOHOO BUMP!

Tuesday BUMP!

Do you have to replace/upgrade any of the resistors when doing the led swap on a xd?
