Are you refferring to the console area around the shifter? If so... I will have to get my hands on an auto and check that out.
Hmm, never really thought about those. I'll check them out in the next week or so and see whats up. BTW - your CAI is on the way
You're the man! I gotta say one of the nicer people I have met in quite some time! Hopefully I can get to some of my other design projects and send some goodies your way as well!

Didnt think about yours being an auto either. I am not even sure if they are LED or bulbs down there. I have only been in one auto do do the gauges, but we never had the console apart.

And to those interested in console "kits" : I am recieving one today or tomorrow to mod for someone, so I can make up a wiring kit then. I plan on making some sort of template for cutting the back of the faceplate as well. Then everything would be simple soldering and following directions (which can be included as well) I will keep everyone posted.

I have the LEDs in now (got them a few days ago), so hopefully this weekend. I have to work saturday on some updates for work, but maybe sunday I can get to that part.

I guess I have those LEDs.... I am assuming they are the same size.. maybe not the best assumption. I just ordered quite a few of them thought so I thought I would check them out.

The shift lights are lit using a #74 bulb. I bought an led bulb and put it in there. The only problem is, since leds are directional, all the letters light us nicely except for the L. The P is a little dim as well. I'll post a pic later if you want.

Here is one of my posts about it: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...869&highlight=

I could supply the LEDs along with pre-bent and insulated wires and resistors. It would make it easier if everyone interested could send me the colors, number of LEDs (or specifics as to the layout you will be using), tranny type (the auto has more LEDs than the manual) and any other special requests to engifineer@hotmail.com . I can then start ordering the LEDs in batches rather than one set at a time.

How much would you charge to just wire my center console board to match the brightness of the blue gauges?

That one is easy. It is the same bulb/led as the cubby hole replacement. It will be about 1/16 of an inch too long. I beltsanded some and installed one in a tC already. Get them at www.superbriteleds.com
