the man asked about replacing his ORANGE/AMBER dash lighting
to a different color..(instrument cluster etc)..
the kit i'm referring to WORKS like the cup holder light..
but u plug it in replacing the stock amber lights
so u can switch it to different colors..
im still debating on the pricing of the kit. give me a few days..

he never asked for "how to put neons in ur car" lol.. thats what i was trying to help on..

a kit actually made by toyota to change the amber color out. its crazy..

i'll throw up a picture and all that junk soon.

 

Hi Batute
Which side of the LED legs are you adding the resistor on? You might just have it on the wrong side of the LED. The reason that I have asked, is that if you have the resistor on the other side of the leads this will cause the LED not to light up. The longer lead on the LED is the (+12v) positive and the shorter lead is the ground (-). Good luck on you project by the way the lighting really looks very nice! I hope this will solve you problem on the LEDs!

 

Hey manong john errrr scionjohn j/k...I actually called radio shack to find out the the polarity before I even started on my project. The one for the cup holders worked but not for the compartment not sure why, anyway thanks for helping...I'm gonna try to put some more LEDs when Ihave time hehe

Merry x'mas !! deep fried turkey yummmmmmm !

 

ok, I figure out why it wouldn't work :oops: resistor was bad, maybe it got too hot when I was soldering it. Now I can work on the center console on my xA....

be carefull doing this to your xA guys, don't blame me if something breaks




after unscrewing the 4 screws use the screwdriver ( be gentle ) to unsnapped



the whole thing will come off






checking for power source for the led


I'm going to replace the factory light with custom LED ( have to figure out how I'm going to hold the LED..maybe use a glue gun)





after all the unscrewing and unsnapping...I found out I ran out of LEDs :oops: and radio shack is close today...oh well maybe tomorrow

 

Radio shack hasn't opened yet? :?

 

um, so did we get a diffinate answer on how to change the orange light in the clock yet?

 

There is a DYI for this.

SWEET!!!!

thanks rj

 

4 - 1206 sized leds

the links on the diy give you sites that are fairly pricy, fyi.. you shouldn't spend more than $.70 each

what color did you need? i have a few.
