How much was it?

But the concise version to answer you questions.
it cost me about $1500 from Troy @ http://www.oemvalue.com because I was supposedly the first Scion to purchase from him and get him pics of my installation.
It was very easy to install, I've helped saicow install his and I know coasterlvr has installed his and has his own pics also. He's connected an IPOD to it and also a reverse camera. You really only need to hook up the reverse wire and the speed sense wire, everything else was plug and play.
As for my old single cd head unit, I traded it in to Troy for credit so I could cut the cost of that system even more.
Hope this answers all your questions.
Sweet! Thank man.
Nice job!

Another thing that I just thought of too. You can look around for cell phone shops that do phone led color modifications. Usually I find a lot of the asian stores will do this mod and they will have whites and blues. I believe some Nokia and Moto phone's use a similar size LED also. It doesn't have to be exact but it does have to be at least very close to the original size otherwise you run into problems of trying to solder directly to the pads. Heck they might even be able to do the soldering for you if you ask.

Yeah you could call it whichever way you want. I use the terms interchangeably because they both pretty much mean the same thing.

Alright I found some blue SMD LED's in 1206, which like I said should work fine.
The first one has a typical MCD (brightness) level of 8.

The second one has a typical MCD level of 45.
Link --> http://www.eled.com/product.asp?cata..._id=EPT3216PBC
The higher the MCD the brighter. Usually with darker colors such as blue or purple, you might want to try the the higher brightness. It might be a little too bright and overpowering though so you might also think about the first one. The one's I have are pretty bright, not sure of the MCD value as there was no spec sheet given, so if you look at it closely you'll see the 4 led's, but it doesn't bother me so I'll leave it be. So like I said, since there are 4 led's you probably could get away with first one, and it should give you a nice even blue. Just my $.02.

Hmm... I wonder if there is a way to retrofit them. I will have to look more into this when I get a chance. Not because I plan to change them but once I get involved with a problem I usually try to solve it using any means possible and I hate to see it unfinished. Thanks for the update though. Also I went ahead and updated the Blue LED thread too regarding the #74 bulbs. So I take it you just got the #74 wedge bulbs and not the ones with the base right? :D
