i was wondering if any has changed them yet.... i think orange is ugly and i want mine all white.

 

I think a few people might have. White might look good depending on how you do it.

 

you can find led kits for the celicas (as i did for mine) at this site, im guessing the leds cant be that much different...

if you dont mind spending the money on the kit, if it doesnt work, (if u buy white) hell ill buy it off you for 5 bucks off... pm me back after u try

 

it's so tedious to solder all of those leds... blah.

 

I would love to do it red needle and blue dash

Only thing I liked from my old passat was the gauages and dash color illumination

BLUE & RED

I would like to have them on my car....

 

i thought i read in an earlier post that at sema there was supposed to be some 'really cool looking' dash replacement for the tc. if i can find the thread before i go to work ill post it, but it quoted toyota as saying 'it would look like something out of a video game' id really like a different colored dash as well, the orange just doesnt go with my blue led kit. id also like to change that orange one in the little cd holder thing under the stereo to blue



*edit* here is the link, its on the first page, a scion dealer mentioned it, but i havnt seen anything else after that

well, in my opinion the kit is too expensive. i just wanted to know if someone know what kind of LEDs the gauges are. are they the same leds as in the RSX or the MATRIX? because if they are, i have like 100 blue ones... but they are blue, so i need to buy some white ones. soldering is no problem for me, i do it alot.

 

agreed.......i want to do my rear tails, but i dont have the patience.........i would get irritated even if it was just a little off and have to start over........

 

those red and blue dash lights in the VW's is definetely b@d@ss, but then how are the radio and hvac control display lit ( I don't know), that would suck to have them not matching...

 

Well if the LED's inside the spedometer are similar to the ones in the celica. I'm guessing they are 0805 SMD LED's. These LED's are the same as the ones that came with the camry navi system that I installed for my wife and their green, but I plan on changing them to amber to match the rest of the dash. The HVAC lights, on the other hand, are actually either very large LED's or bulbs in which I've seem some people just use LED "condoms" to change the color emitting from those lights. In the xB theres only two of them and they distribute the light throughout the HVAC gauges via a fiber optic plastic piece. I might eventually change the color scheme of her dash but I haven't decided what colors yet.

I bought these from this site for changing out the Navi led colors...

has anyone open the dash of the TC and attempted this on the TC yet? i'm waiting on my leds to attempt this mod.

 

come on guys

someone just jump in and do one with blue+red
and show us the DYI

then I will haha [/quote]

 

Well I just finished changing out my wife's Navi from Green to Orange (actually they're Yellow) LED's.

There was a threada while back in which someone changed their dash lights to blue by putting rubber jackets over the bulbs...You can also color them with a sharpie as well...I tried to do a search to find it, but the new search engine in here sucks ___ and I couldn't locate it...

I'm interested in finding the thread again because it had pics on the DIY, and looked fairly easy to do


As for changing the clock color, I'm down to do it myself, but I need to know how to get inside of the light panel...Does the cover of it pop off, or do I have ot go in from under the dash somewhere???

DAN

 

ok where do you get the led condoms? i need some blue ones and then anyone wanna tell me how hard and do a write up on how to change the clock light. im thinkin blue or white.
oh yeah the sharpie method only lasts for like a week or at least thats as long as it lasted for me

 

I think this is what you were looking for

hotbox05 - I'll probably take a look at it this weekend to see if they can be changed or not. I was thinking of changing them to white to match the speedo but white LED's are so expensive because of their production process.
