That is cool that you are adding those leds to sell, but a savings of $.50 on shipping really isn't enough to sway most people. As for the shipping, mine got there in 3 days. How much faster is your shipping?

All my shipping is priority mail and is there in 3 days or less always, not a gamble. Also if people do not want to keep it in the scion family for the same exact product, well then that is there business. I have gone out on quite a limb to support this community in many ways and am offering this as more of a help than anything. For those of you that are looking for LED's, Please do contact me! I will help you guys in any way I can!
I also stock lots of other parts including the correct LED's for the gauge cluster changes!

I did a custom LED dome light for a customer here (WhiteOut). I put 24 15,000MCD superflux LED's on a board. I replaced his 6 led bulb that was in there and it made a big difference.
I am trying to get some pictures from him (I didn't have my camera when I did the mod), but here is a pic of a dome light I did for an xb (same idea). I couldn't fit as many LED's on the xb though.
I did both cars in white, but I also have blue, red, green, yellow, and uv.

I changed mine but I have one problem. Seems as if my center dome light doesn't comp[letely turn off when the light is set at "door". When the stock bulb is installed it turns all the way off. I have tested several LED's and it only happens then the LED Bulbs are in and the setting is on door. Does this happen to anyone else? If it has, what do I have to do because the small lighting is annoying.

^^^^ Did you make a board, or did you use a prebuilt led bulb? The dome light should not be getting any voltage when the door is closed. Test it with a multimeter, and see if it is getting any voltage.

^^^ Lol, when it is supposed to be off, but its dim, is it a greenish color? One of my customers got those same bulbs for his side markers on his M3, and he has the same problem.

alright i have done the mod n it took me 2mins to do the both the dome light n the front three lights. i tried to do the cubby light but a storm came and i didnt have time to finish. i tried to take the bulb outta the base so i can put the new bulb in there but couldnt do it.
can someone please explain the process? do i have to take out the bulb from the base, because the new bulb i got, the base looks like it is not usable?
at least the blue makes the orange easy on the eyes.
