That was one of the first things I did when I got my second Yaris (traded in the first one).
Worth it as long as you stick with white LEDs. It's pretty straight forward. Remove the covers, put in LED, turn on to check if you have the polarity correct, and put on cover. |

It seems beautiful. Yes I want to take white leds aswell. Thanks for your pictures. I was thinking about it, but I wasn't sure about the result. But as I see it in the pictures it's a nice upgrade :) Did you bought leds from eBay or your local store? Cause found some ready kits for my car that includes all the inside lights, plus the license's plate lights Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

superbrightleds.com is the best location to get everything you need.
I did not do my overhead lights, because I keep them turned off. but I did replace the HVAC bulbs right away. I have an 07 and they came with those ugly, dim, nuclear green color. I changed to "cool white" I believe. |

I am thinking of buy them from eBay. The site www.superbrightleds.com had a very good variety and they seem they have good quality of leds. But I live in Greece and the shipping cost, from ups, is 20+ euros. That's more, that I have to pay for the leds. In eBay I found a kit for about 8 euros but as u said, I found in commends that are close to blue. So I am a little confused :p Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah, that's the problem with eBay. Never know what you're going to really get. I did get some 194 bulbs a while back that were more on the white side, but they were still a little blue compared to the 194 bulbs I got from TRS and the LED boards I have now.
I got some LEDs from SuperBrightLEDs many years ago. I wasn't really impressed by them, so I never went back to them. I get my important LEDs from VLEDs (they're pricey, but are very high quality). I'll take chances with eBay for easy access bulbs (because I'm not sure of their reliability; I have LED strips by VLEDs from 2010 that are still going and just as bright as day 1). If they die, they were cheap and will be easy to replace. lol |

you should live chat with superbrightleds.com I bet they ship to Europe. you should do a lot of research and order all the bulbs you can think of. I forgot I DO have a LED license plate bulb. there is only 1, so it's a very good idea to do that one. and I did the little peanut bulbs in the front headlights with bluish LED tower bulbs. they come on with the parking brake set, and the switch set to "parking" or the first position. they are on with the headlights on. they are off with the DRL only. (I don't know how the headlight is set up in Europe) |

I had them for a while, but most of them stopped working, as I think they were cheapies.

I have the digital speedo so I can't modify it anyways.
I saw the site. But the shipping cost is too much for me :( it cost more than the leds themselves :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
