LED'n it out (warning...big pics)

[custom Lftback]

finally got around to replacing all my bulbs to LED bulbs. Dome Light, Map Lights, Parking Lights, License Plate Light, A/C Knobs, Shifter bulb (yes i have an automatic lol).
here is a few pics...

Looks good. I swapped out my temp/ac/fan knobs with White LED's to match my new gauge cluster and I enjoy that as well. Your red ones look good though.

Definitely need to get on this.

Link to DIY / where to buy?

How did you do this?

Advocate: here is the diy for the knobs: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2275&
the only thing different is that you don't have to mess with the original bulb base. You can buy led's that are direct swap out. I bought the knob LEDs and the shifter LED at autolumination.com. Get the NEO-wedge led bulbs type B for the knobs.
The map lights, parking lights, license plate light, even the side
marker bulbs are all the typical wedge based bulbs. I got those from superbrightleds.com.


Emerge: search for Diy's for the different applications and you will find plenty with pictures and great help to get it all done without rippin your hair out in the process lol.

looks great, i thought about doing this but was waiting to see someone else's pics of it for one reason... is it the camera that doesn't let it show up or when you change the bulbs do the blue dashes for the AC no longer light up? every picture i've seen of the bulb swaps no longer has any cold air dashes. other than that i love it and really like the red!!!!

Yeah I am trying to figure out why the blue doesn't light up anymore. Not sure why a bulb swap would mess with that but who knows. Not that i really need it anyways, it shows the heat and plus it has the indicator on the dial that shows where you have it set at.

[why?]

that looks awesome.
