Alright so its tybe B LED. Thank you Leroy.

 

autolumination.com has very high quality stuff. and they ship quick too

 

check this out! specials for scion owners but it doesnt include the LED's were currently discussing. but the more LED's the better right?

yeah, my version of this DIY is very similar... and I highly recommend getting the bulbs from autolumination... just be careful which ones you get, there's like 3 choices... and the biggest one won't fit the xB

 

Great site. I got stuff from them.

 

so with those is it as easy as just switching the new bulbs with the old ones? or is more work required?

 

Yup, pretty much just a swap.

 

pretty much? does that mean yes, just a swap, or yes, just a swap with some work required? Because this will probably be one of my first DIY projects, and I want to start with something easy. Thanks.

 

Yes, just a swap if you purchase the correct bulb and base.

You're good to go with it Murbyrne. Just be careful not to break any clips or lose any parts. If you read through this entire thread, there have been a few people that have had issues with the ball thingy and losing the clicks when you turn the ****. Just take your time and pay attention and you won't have any problems.

 

alright, i ordered those bulbs above. Do they come with the bases or do I need to get those seperatly?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it out. Thanks for all the help

 

Ok, well i'm a little confused...Do I or do I not take off the cream colored piece (like the one above)? I'd hate to take it off and have the same problem reys had. So How do I get to the bulbs without taking off the cream colored piece? Do I just unscrew those grey circles pictured at the bottom? Can someone please clarify, thanks.

 

do not take off the cream piece. Just twist the grey bulb bases and they should shake out.

 

I dont know if this has been said already, but you guys know you can use 3mm LEDS with resistors on the from Oznium.com right? They even have a walkthrough on how to do it. It's the one with the corvette and the window control color change.

 

For future refrence, anyone know how you take out the wire clip thing thats in the middle, pictured below

I can get the other three clips off that are to the side of it but not that one that's right in the middle. Do I just pull it out? Or do I push something for it to pop out? Cuz I tried both and nothing was budging. Without taking it off, it really made things much more difficult and it scratched the part right beneath the passenger airbag indicator.

Anyways, I finally put in the LEDs from auto lumination and i've gotta say, they look fantastic. The dimness around the edges isn't as bad as people have said. Its really not noticeable. Anyone who wants to change out the color of their A/C controls, definitely get the LEDs instead of the rubber thingies.

 

if you go to oznuim.com the c5 corvette led's fit perfectly in the factory slots. just unscrew the old, and screw in the new!

if you plan on making your own using the factory holders the 5mm leds are to large to fit in the holder so you want to get the 3mm led's

 

I LOVE lil tips like this.... Thanks bro!

 

no worries, it was a scared $5 at first, now it's an i'm glad i did this $5! it's just right brite too!

 

If I just buy the corvette c5 led's from oznium.com, will I still need resistors or is it as simple as plug and play?

 

plug and play.

 

Ok i ordered the 74 Type B's from autoilluminations a couple of months back and just got to installing them.

Thing is I ordered the blue but when they are lit up they look aqua and don't match any other the other blue led's that i had changed. Did I miss a step in the install or has anyone else had an issue with the blue bulbs no being a deep blue?
