New tC Owner From Central NC

Hey guys. I just bought an 09 Flint Mica tC this past weekend, after my '00 Explorer bit the dust. I really like the car so far, and look forward to learning more about Scions here! I'm already doing some planning for mods for mmy new tC!

I'm in the Winston-Salem/Kernersville area, but I've got family in Greensboro, Charlotte (where I went to college) and Raleigh.

Do you happen to know of any shops/garages in the Triad or Triangle that might offer gauge LED swap services?

Phantasm might, here in Raleigh, but it should be pretty easy to do yourself.

Thanks for the heads up on Phantasm, I'll look into that.

I'm not completely against doing it myself, I have plenty of experience soldering from rewiring guitars and effects pedals, but I've never worked with SMT components before, I'm afraid of burning something out on the board while trying to desolder and resolder those tiny little leds.
