Default SCION LED LIGHT INSTALL...HOW DIFFICULT?

Has anyone done the SCION LED light install. I am thinking about doing it in my car but after installing the fog lights I was irritated by the location of the relay box. Will I have to use that? Is there any rewiring or splicing needed? Thanks for any help.

I agree, get the cathodes.. I got 8 12" cathodes with inverters/switches/everything you need from www.svc.com for around $30..

Install is simple, and takes virtually no time at all =D

I will go cold cathode, I've seen too much on how low intensity the scion lights are. But just HOW easy is installation?

Hey randode, where can i get that Auto lever shift cover I see in your xA pic?

From what I hear, randy's kit is plug and play...

If you go DIY, it's stripping some wires, removing some screws, grounding

the scion leds are weak sauce.
Mine are crazy bright. Installation is maybe 40 minutes if youve never done it before. No cutting, no drilling. Everything is included. From the lights, inverters, switch (pops right into the dash, and looks stock) wiring harness, instructions, everything. I can send you the instructions via e-mail if you want to look them over.
I am the cathode king!

the auto shifter is a Razo i think. dont know where he got it.

Randode, i just read you're Walkthrough in the electrical forum. Is this the install? I've never done much electrical work (in a car at least) so I am a beginner on this one. Is the kit you sell easier than the one in your install? I am nervous about clipping wires, crimping and running ground wires.

no,no,no that was forever ago. The kit i sell is all soldered, and complete. It pretty much plugs right in. I can send you the instructions if ya want to go over them.
