no you right i dident in those pics actually i changed the needels to red and i did get t off this time thanks for pointing it out i should of mentioned it

btw that green is so friken sweet lookin

 

'reppin the green... oh yah...

as long as it's not blue, i'm happy..

 

what style leds are they cause i opend it up last night and they are tiny but i think i can do it i just cant find replacements anywhere

 

Yeah I love the color. It's even more sweet in person. The picks just can't do it justice. Sadly, I forgot to check the toggle lights for the defog/AC buttons before I left that day. They are still amber. I'll just wait til the guy comes back into town or end up trying to figure it out myself if its not too difficult.

 

My led's are on order, think I will be the first in this style but the lcd's will be blue on the hvac and the odo. The rest will all be white... needles red... Hope it turns out good!

 

i did a combo as well with using whit in the HVAC with blue accents for the little light next to the a/c defroster (ect) and it turned out nice good luck you have a good idea

 

onetoevny. sorry for the late response. but i got my LEDs from here http://www.lc-led.com/ecommerce4.html as to which ones they are exactly i am not too sure which ones.

 

yea i found that place too i bought mine off ebay but no one has those real little ones for the radio display o-well i will just have to keep looking

 

Sorry dude. I have had that setup for over a year except for red needles:

 

All good man! Post up pics! I wanna see it!!!

 

lc-led.com has them.. they're 0603's...

tiny, puny < 2 mm sized bastards..

 

i wish i wasnt so chicken POOP and would just go for this mod. You guys did some pretty nice work! The guy with the green ..... that is the first green set I have ever seen on a tC.


I really like this one the best: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...o/IMG_1053.jpg

 

Hey guys, I found this cool web site that has a gauge needles replacement with special lighting system inside and it awesome. check it out:

I did the lights, Adrian did the needles. looks CLEAN.

i've heard of these.... but how they light up the needle is the same concept as our stock ones.. light behind the needle...

i guess it might be brighter.. but you can't judge light output from pictures... (not unless i see the camera settings for each one)

honestly... is it worth that much money for you to get? ($69.90?!?)

 

someone should startup another led swap (someone thats not going to steal peoples parts like the last guy) because I am looking to swap mine hopefully the beginning of next year. I am already building up plans for when I take my vacation (next year) and can lay my car up for a week strait.

 

i have personally been debating on doing this.. but it's quite stessful as it is with the current group i am taking care of. (which is locally, can't imagine having to deal with shipping..)

if there are any plans to expand, i'll resign my mod status and become a sponsor. (it would be too much conflict being both)

honestly... it would be quicker to try and teach people how to solder than dealing with so many people. tips found here:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61793

the demand for led swaps is much higher than i ever expected when i did my (thought it was going to be small) group buy for leds.

 

I can solder but once you perform a mod like this once or twice you will deff be able to do it again. The problem im having is this ..... what happens if I mess up? ..hehe. Ive melted solder points off of playstation back in the day. Also - isnt there a way to make the new leds brighter then stock? ....or .... if you swap them wont some of the lights be darker? ...isnt there a current issue like this?

 

use a higher rated led. Stock are like 100mcd. The most colors above are from 500mcd - 2000mcd. I'm not sure how much this draws from power sources though. I used 500mcd Blue Led's and everything is fine.

 

the only current issue there is with dimness is with the center console... engifineer has a topic posted up in the tech section on how to fix this.

other than that i haven't seen much problems using the leds i got from lc-led.com... except maybe the blue doesn't like too much heat... i've burned a few of those... (buy plenty of extras!)

actually.. i had one guy tell me his console was too bright.. o.0.. i'm like.. "uhh.... yeah..."

 

ADRdesignCo: Please tell me which leds you made white and the ones you did with blue that looks so frickin sweet i want to get mine done but don't really want to pay much cause i am not good at soldering. Thanks Dawg.
