Hey Kevin, you can check the posts here http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30871

and check at www.superbrightleds.com

They've got several colors.

Map lights are 194 wedge types. The dome light is a 3175 festoon (I believe). Check out my sedan:

You can get the 194's here: http://www.v-leds.com/194-168-158-LED/c122170-1-2/

and the 3175 here: http://www.v-leds.com/3175-6418-3022-LED/White-LED/sc122285-1-2//page/1/checkForLanding/true

Trunk in the sedan is also a 194 wedge (I have 3 6" strips in the back converging to the 194 holder). The license plate lights are also 194 (IIRC).

[.Kevin.]

How did you get those blue lights, got any links to the specific bulbs, I suck ass at anything involving wiring or codes feels bad man.


Wanted to change the interior roof ones, feet if possible, and trunk one would be sweet.

is it like any other light bulb unscrew and screw in or what

I actually hate the fact that the blue ones are blue. I ordered "white" LED strips on eBay to use for footwell and engine bay lighting, but each time, they came out blue. It's a little more involved to install footwell lighting as you will have to splice into two wires behind the driverside glove/coin compartment. But CTScott told me which wires to splice into (there's a picture floating somewhere here as well), and it's just a matter of hiding the wires (you'll also have to solder wires onto the LED strip because it won't be long enough if you don't). It's not hard, but like I said, more involved.

The dome, map, trunk, and license plate lights just pull out (no unscrewing) once you get their respectable covers off. If you're planning on using strips for the trunk, you'll need to purchase a 194 holder (I believe the link I gave you sells holders [look at the left side of either page]). Just remember, put in the LED, test to see if they turn on (if they don't take out the LED and flip it, then put it back in).

You can purchase the strips from the site I gave you, or just search on eBay for either blue or white (will most likely come out blue) LED strips in eBay motors.

[.Kevin.]

I guess I will swap the pull out ones since the others involve more complicated stuff, I would pay to get it done but no one here lives nearby.

Is it possible to get colored dome ones and take off the dome caps and just replace em or what

[custom Lftback]

My light conversion cost me about $50. Dome light, map lights, parking lights, liscense plate light, A/C lights, and my the gear light next to my shifter

If you want different colors, just buy the different colored LEDs. You dont need to change the dome/map, etc.. lights' cover for the color effect.

Thanks for all the links, atm I wanna change the two in the front that you push to turn on and the one in the middle of the roof inside, red would be nice got any link to that and how do I go abouts taking those covers off without damaging anything.

Thanks for dedicating the time, I actually like all the stock lights on the exterior

[chrisj]

^ Map light covers are easier taken off if you push up on one at a time like you're turning it on. Then put a screwdriver in and pop it down. I couldn't find an easy way into that light cover until I accidentally pushed up on it, then popped it out in 1 second. Goes back in really easy too.

On the dome there is a place on the edge to put a screwdriver in the pop it off.

I changed out my whole interior in like 2 minutes. Simple. Best thing is, it's so easy to change that if you get tired of one color, go with something else. Go with green and red for Christmas! ;)

[.Kevin.]

Alright freaking sweet man now to find the bulbs for it - any help apprecciated lookin for red mostly

[Qmobile]

the more and more people I see doin this kinda conversion the more and more I want to do it!!

[.Kevin.]

Let me know if youre interested in helping eachother out finding the bulbs :o

edit:

Are dome lights the top 3 inside the car>? Those are the ones I want to change if so are these the bulbs for it,

http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/DomeMap-LED/Red-LED/2-RED-MSMT-18-LED-DOME-p4810359-1-2.html

[pspeezy]

Trunk in the sedan is also a 194 wedge (I have 3 6" strips in the back converging to the 194 holder). The license plate lights are also 194 (IIRC).

so let me get this straight, 194 wedge type for map, trunk, and license plate lights?
(for my 09 yaris sedan, thats 2 map lights, 2 license plate lights, 1 trunk light)
so when buying bulbs for these 5 lights, i should buy 5 of the same kind, correct?
then just a festoon bulb for the dome light?

also what does 'IIRC' mean?

[.Kevin.]

It'd be nice if my stuff got clarified first before we ask more questions

and me and the other guy have 2010s lol

[pspeezy]

well excuse me for crowding your thread,
i didnt think two questions at once would be too much of a nuisance for him to answer. my apologies.

[.Kevin.]

Didn't mean it like that, I meant we might have to look for our own answers since he hasnt been back to the thread. I am eyeing those red ones though any idea if they will work?

[chrisj]

I have a LB, so a few of mine will be somewhat different. The wedge-type 194 LEDs go into the map lights. The festoon bulb (or the LED cluster with an adjustable festoon type connector) goes into the dome.

In my license plate light, it is another 194 wedge type. In my cargo area it's another festoon bulb. In another thread I posted exactly what I ordered for mine, but I did order from www.superbrightleds.com.

Then it just comes down to how bright you want it and what color you want. There is also the degree of coverage for the festoons, as some have all around coverage, some have 90 degree, some have 120 degree.

I will post more exact information if you need it, but I am not exactly sure of the festoon sizes. They were different for the dome and cargo area. Dome was 32mm and the cargo area was 37mm I believe. There are cross references on the superbright site.

What is the name of the 3 lights in the inside of the vehicle

the two push ones and the switch one that turns on with the door opening

those are the bulbs I need x,x in red

[pspeezy]

What is the name of the 3 lights in the inside of the vehicle

the two push ones and the switch one that turns on with the door opening

those are the bulbs I need x,x in red

the two push ones in the front are called map lights,
and the switch one in the middle is called a dome light,

(and obviously trunk light(s) is/are inside the trunk and license plate lights are the ones above your license plate)

im ordering my lights on friday, im not sure if it is different for 09 to 10, but the only festoon bulb i need is for my dome light, and the rest are 194 wedge type bulbs (map, trunk, and i believe on my license lights as well but not 100% sure)

for the festoon bulb for my dome light, i measured today in my car with a ruler, centimeters then converted to milimeters (1 centimeter = 10 milimeters) to know exactly what size (in milimeters) the festoon bulb should be.

(i suggest you do the same to be 100% sure, cause i feel more comfortable ordering my bulbs now that i have opened all of them up and checked them out)

What ya mean measure it, and does that mean that last link I posted with the Red LEDS will fit on the map and dome lights?

[pspeezy]

What ya mean measure it, and does that mean that last link I posted with the Red LEDS will fit on the map and dome lights?

for the festoon bulb for the dome light, they have it in different lengths, so if you order the wrong one it might be too long or too short. the measurement they use to measure the festoon bulbs are in milimeters.


for those red lights you posted in the link (http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/DomeMap-LED/Red-LED/2-RED-MSMT-18-LED-DOME-p4810359-1-2.html),
i honestly have no clue if those will work, because the thing that makes me iffy on those bulbs is the way they are designed. if you open up your dome light cover in your car, and take a look at your stock bulb, you will see what im talking about and how they look different.

i am also new to these light bulbs and knowing what is what, so i am not 100% sure, and you might want to wait for somebody who does know 100% to get a confirmation on that.

a festoon bulb looks like this (http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=/festoon.html%23hp).
for my car (which might be different from yours but im not sure) im ordering the
'3022-xHP4
31 x 10mm festoon bulb with 4 High Power SMD LEDs' for my dome light.



edit: im actually ordering the '3022-x4 & 3022-x9
31 x 10mm festoon, 4 or 9 x 3mm LED, 30 degree beam' bulb for my dome light because the high power festoon bulb doesnt have the color i want :bonk:

also what does 'IIRC' mean?

Yes, that is correct. However, I suggest getting a strip for the trunk and use a 194 holder. A single 194 LED won't illuminate the trunk very well.

Yup, that festoon I posted for the dome light.

Take a thin flat head screw driver. Look at the map/dome light covers, You'll see some "lines" at the edges (of the long side I believe). Insert the screw driver there, and gently pry off. If you'd like, remind me after 10 am (Pacific time) later today, and I'll take pics of the process.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Don't think the model year on the sedans are different for light bulbs, btw.


Oh, and for the one that ask, "IIRC" means "if I remember correctly."

[Kaotic Lazagna]

For the footwell lighting, splice into the wires seen here:

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showpost.php?p=369710&postcount=14


So, splice the positive wire into the blue, and the negative/ground wire to the pink wire.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I also made my own LED strip for the rear feet area (since changed to two LEDs instead of three).

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb261/YarisKaos/LEDs/All%20LEDs/Rear%20Area/DSC_0009.jpg


For this, I just spliced the wires on the LED footwells and ran the wires as seen:
http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb261/YarisKaos/LEDs/All%20LEDs/Rear%20Area/DSC_0001.jpg

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb261/YarisKaos/LEDs/All%20LEDs/Rear%20Area/DSC_0005.jpg

They're attached to the bottom of the front strips via velcro.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

^ Yeah, I had a few spare 194 LEDs laying around, figured might as well use them. lol.

[.Kevin.]

Well good news is before reading your thing I went to my car and grabbed my screw driver and I managed to easily take off the 3 plastics so I know how to do that now.

As for the bulb I tried to twist and pull gently and just pull it didnt come out, how exactly do I get it out.

And could I possibly get someone to give me the correct link to the bulbs I need to get this done.

I was also looking for the plug in under the steering wheel above the pedals and I couldnt find the thing where the ecometre apparently plugs in

Try wearing rubber gloves to remove the bulbs from the map lights (they're a little hard to remove if you have sweaty or oil finger tips). The dome light one should come off easily by pulling down.

Here is the you need for the map lights (just order 1 qty as they come in a pair): http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/CornerSide-Marker-LED/White-LED/2-HID-6K-WHITE-SMT-X5-p6478377-1-2.html

This is for the dome light: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/DomeMap-LED/White-LED/V-LEDS-6K-WHITE-2W-4-p7408258-1-2.html

They're both 6000k in color, so it should be the same as the ones I have for my map and dome lights (my trunk is 5000k, and I have no clue what the footwells are, but I'm assuming they're 8000k in color temp).

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Oh, and the wires are located behind the coin compartment. You'll have to remove it to see the wires.

[.Kevin.]

Do they have the same lights but in Red, I noticed on the site they have a red option on the side.

and coin compartment, you mean the side pocket thing bottom right of the steering wheel.

Went to change them and I fucked something up now they wont turn on and my dome light wont AND my radio wont what the hell happened!?!?!

[.Kevin.]

bump need help. ps im still under waranty would they notice if i just said i went over a speed bump i heard a spark and something happened or what.

[chrisj]

I know this is a stupid question, but you checked the fuses?

[.Kevin.]

are those under the hood on yaris'?

I am so clueless on this crap and I am shitting bricks bro lol

why would that be a stupid queston

[chrisj]

:) They should be under the dash. The radio and other fuses are there. Left side down under the cup holder.

[chrisj]

Yaris uses those odd little tiny fuses. I had 2 other kinds of fuses here at home and had to go to the auto parts store for the ones for the Yaris. I blew one when I was changing out my tails.

Hey Kevin, what did you do when you say you f*cked with it? You were in the process of changing out to LEDs, right?

[.Kevin.]

One of the black clips was loose and when I twisted it I pushed it in, being retarded I tried using a screw driver to get it now its jammed in there with the bulb and I heard a like short curcuit little spark noise when I spun the driver around.

Thats basically the story and now my stereo wont work, my map lights and dome lights. not sure if anything else

what should I do from what ive explained

[chrisj]

You probably just blew a fuse. Same kinda thing happened to me when I changed my tails. Just check the fuse box under the dash and you'll probably see a blown one or two.

You also need to get any piece of metal that doesn't belong in that light or it will just blow again.

You normally shouldn't have to disconnect the battery to change out lights, but you might want to until you are sure you get them all in properly. Just a thought.

[.Kevin.]

how the hell do I get the black clip and the bulb out of the map lights thing ? And how do I know a fuse is blown, I am retarded I know lol. Does it have to be specific colored? The car has extra fuses in the boxi n the motor area doesnt it

if we get this fixed I will fucking praise whoever helps me I swear to god.

[chrisj]

You can look at a good fuse and a bad one and see the link melted in it to show it's bad. That's true on any fuse. Don't know about spares. I had to go down to the auto store with no taillights until I got some spares.

I don't know what black clip you mean, but you can stick anything you want in there now, if the fuse is blown...it sure won't hurt anything now. On my LB, it was just a pull out and plug in for the new bulbs. It's the wedge bulb right?

[.Kevin.]

THe problem is the bulb and black thing went INSIDE the like little console that holds the bulbs.

And you know the black thing wrapped around the bulb that you twist etc?

That went inside. I have no idea how to get the bulb out and have that black clip in place again was tempted to just rip off the whole plastic thing but got scared of fucking something p.

Like I said, shitting bricks atm wanna fix this so bad I will get pics up of my new bulbs if I manage to fix this aswell.

[chrisj]

Shit! Sorry man, I don't know from here. Wish I could help, but that black piece going up into the thing is past me. Still, you should be okay driving it and stuff. Someone will be on later I'm sure that can help in a flash.

[.Kevin.]

It's wrapped around the bulb if you remove the plastic button light cover thing you should see it.

I will report back in a few minutes I am gonna go check out for the fuse thing.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hmmm, I've changed out interior lights in several cars, and not one of them have any black thing around the light bulbs (I can't figure out why there would be anything around a light bulb to begin with).

A blown fuse looks like this:
http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTm_lfjnSfQ2DcGxsz5xUp_mm-M1tSzwPuwCAtx4-x72gjKy6A&t=1&usg=__GxklvYiZEQie0KpIMOFS0Zojmpo=

That middle part should be one piece, not two, for a non-blown fuse. Fuses are a little hard to remove, so pinch tight. hahahaha. I've used needle-nose pliers to gently pull them out too.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

http://www.etimago.com/yaris/repairmanual/Lighting.pdf

look at pg 2 for fuse location (it's in the engine bay)

[.Kevin.]

searched failed I know what youre talkin about now I will go look for a broken one, if I replace it do I need to use a specific one or just one of the spares inside the thing?

Will take photos aswell.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Under the cover, there's a diagram of the layout of the fuses (what the fuse is for). Look for the one that the dome light uses (I think it should say DOME on the diagram). Remove and inspect it. Also, there should be a number on the top of the fuse; i.e. 5, 10, 15, etc. You need to replace it with that same amperage. If none of the replacement fuses are of the amperage of the dome fuse, you can take it to any automotive shop or Radio Shack (if you guys have those up there) and hand them the fuse and ask for a replacement. There are different sizes of fuses, I think the ones in the fuse box are mini fuses.

[.Kevin.]

Alright follow me on this

Went to the fuses Blue 15 was blown I swapped it and my car wouldnt turn on lol so I need another blue 15 fuse where do I get them.

Second of all some photos of the lights, left side is how it should be its fine. Right side has the bulb INSIDE the hole, and look at the left, that black thing is what keeps it in place, it is also INSIDE I have to somehow get them out was thinkin tweezers or something.

Ideas?

Any questions?

[.Kevin.]

bump

[Kaotic Lazagna]

You'll need a 15 amp fuse to replace.

As for the light bulb, I think you push the base/bulb connector inside. That's where the bulb goes connects to. Do you know where it's at?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Where is the bulb, anyway?

[chrisj]

Oh shit. I see that the socket has been turned and is up in there. I have no idea how to get it out.

Looks like you'll have to pop off the whole map light to get that socket back out. It must have been turned and then went back up in there. The taillights are the same, with their sockets. As far as the bulb, it just comes straight out since it's a wedge.

[.Kevin.]

Where do I get a fuse dealership? How much are they.

And yeah the bulb and the twist thing is INSIDE that shit, how to I remove it without damaging anything? Or should I just take it to the dealer and yell waranty on their asses that I went over a speed bump and shit hit the fan.

Like I mentioned earlier, fuses can be bought at any automotive store or electronic store. Again, it's a 15 amp fuse, most likely a mini blade fuse.

I have no clue how to remove the map light assembly. Sorry.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Okay, I found out how to remove it, but you will need a special tool to remove it. Go here and look at pg. 23, step 57.

However, they look like retainer clips. If you have a very thin flat head screw driver, I'm sure you can disengage them easily.

Moulding remover, the hell.

I will put something soft on my head and attempt to take it off, as for the fuses once again, do I go to the dealer for them? o,o


thanks btw for the help this is so intense, love you all.

You can, but the dealership will always charge WAY more than a regular auto parts store. Just go to a parts store or electrical shop and show them the blown fuse.

Alright cool thanks, and my mission..

*sigh*

Was a failure, no idea how to do this. Screw driver failed, and I have no idea where to get this molding tool, maybe Canadian tire? If not do I take my car to the dealer ship and say I went over a speed bump a fuse died and one of my bulbs came loose inside the map light console?

I also bought some crap for my car but dont wanna take pictures with this crappy situation going on but when I get it fixed and pop my LED bulbs in hopefully I can take photos.

Dont wanna pay for something so retarded x,x

No way they are going to believe you if you tell them that a speedbump caused your fuse to blow.

What auto parts stores do you have up there? One of them is bound to carry a molding remover tool.

Kevin, is there no way to get needle nose pliers in that hole or something just to get it close so you can grab it? If you can get hold of it any at all, you might be able to maneuver the socket back into its slot. It's a totally shitty situation, I know.

I live in prince george bc I havent seen shit all for auto stores, except canadian tire lol

and nope, I even tried my girlfriends tweezers and a needle to shape it in, the problem is how the hell do i twist it without pushing it in again AND moving it around is impossible ive tried until my arms are sore from being held up lol. Even the lightbulb is in there but I cant see it, maybe if I found this molding remover or whatever it might help.


What could I say to make them believe me then? lol im fucked paying for nothing bah this BLOWS

Those retainer clips have to be disengaged one at a time. Start disengaging one, and lightly pull down on the molding until it doesn't pop back in anymore. Stick the end of a Q-tip in, and proceed to disengage the other clips, and do the same (Q-tip and move on) until all four are disengaged. Then it should come off. I've disengaged moldings before by using a small, thin flat head. Sure, it took a while compared to having that molding remover tool, but I don't want to spend extra money if I can improvise. hahahaha. By small and thin, I mean pocket size.

Also, if worse comes to worse, order that tool online.
