I am looking for someone to do a led color change on my xb and the wife's tc.

I have to trade a PSP with 2gig memory stick,aftermarket case and charger the movie hostel and a bunch of games including:

starwars battlefront
nfs underground
cars
splinter cell (can't remember which one)
at least 3 more games that I can't remember ( I haven't played it in a while)

If anyone is interested let me know!

 

If you are talking about the Scion LED kit... it is SUPER easy.... I can help!! If it is something else... uhhh...

 

he's talking changing the colors of the hvac controll and speedo lights

 

ya... a response finally!!!

 

i've never done it personally... but i could 'try'... i did go to school for that type of stuff,

should be easy provided the correct parts are on hand

 

Kekai, if you can do it and supply the led's all my psp goodies will be yours! check out my ppc post.

 

I'd love to watch this go down if possible.

 

I'll think about it... i've never done it... and its on a pretty criticle peice and i dont wanna screw it up ya know??

i'm gone from this friday to oct 29.... so it'll have to be done after that.... i'll do some looking if can find all the right sizes for both and a good how to.

 

I know that the radio ones are tiny

 

I have pretty good soldering skills and I know how to do it... just never done it before. I have a soldier iron, but i was thinking maybe using a cold soldier iron ( dont know if those suck or not)

If you know where to get the LEDs... I'll do mine too... infact we can test them on mine =P

 

i wouldnt risk using one of those "cold soldering" irons... they basicly just create a short to make the connection.... may fry somthing else...not with heat.. but electricity...

may try them on somthing small like a cheap 15$ walkman but not a 500+$ critical piece of a car

 

there a bunch of threads about how to do this, I just don't feel comfortable doing it I have basic soldering skills and don't want to screw it up. I added up my psp loot and it's about $600 worth of merchandise, so I think it's a good deal for whomever wants to give it a go.

 

i see... so cold soldering sucks... thats ok...
I'll do it... that is if kekai doesnt since he agreed first

I'll see if order some LEDs from trung and try it out first

what color are you looking for? white or blue will take some extra steps cuz they run at a lil higher voltage. for the HVAC atleast. I know for the xB they have bulbs for the HVAC

 

You might see if you can get ahold of Mattvs, he had green on his and it looked very cool! He might be able to provide critical do's and do not's!

 

neolusions, sweet! I am looking for blue in my xb and I will have to ask the wife what she wants. I have already done the bulb swap and have an aftermarket HU that is already blue in my box, but all the tc will need to be done. Let me know!

Thanks
Doug

 

neolusions if ya want and have the time.. go ahead and take it on!! your also closer to doug so it may work out better than me...
I'd probably end up just selling the PSP anyways..lol..

<<still has to open up my speedo anyways to put in new speedo face :sigh: list of winter projects long... pile of funds small..

 

also doug...if you can live without a car for a big..i know trung aka squallLheart can do it but you'd be shipping to cali. i know he will do it and do it well becaus when tim and i were down there i saw a few gauges and such of what he did and they were good. fair prices too. look him up as another option.

 

^^ yeah what he said.. does the job and or could just sell you the parts for it for one of us to do it

 

yup...infact i have him conjering up a little fun with LEDs for my box...
