Any ideas on LB guage color change? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Slick · 09-12-2009, 01:41 PM

As the title says, does anyone know how to change the amber glow of the 3 dr LB guage cluster? I read the DIY on the Yaris Sedan, but can anyone confirm if it will work on the 3dr? Thanks.

Also, I'm fixing to start searching the forums, but I plan to change the climate control colors as well. I believe I read something on that somewhere. I'll erase this when I find my answer or if someone beats me to it. Thanks.

lol LEDs are LEDs. You can change any of them as long as you do it right. I'm planning on doing this to the CDM tachometer gauge cluster soon.

I think I found it. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9857

Edit: none of the pictures are working for the guage light change :(

I did it to my stock head unit, from the green to a bright blue. not the cluster though

I changed mine from amber to green with color-changing needles! easy to do with leds and colored film.

I'll go take pics and post soon.

You'll need to learn how to solder / unsolder SMT LED's or find someone that can do it.
