New yaris and questions - Toyota Yaris Forums

AnZ17N · 06-01-2007, 09:04 PM

Hey everybody. I've been lurking around the forums for awhile now, just waiting for my yaris.

I just got it a week ago and am loving every second of it.
I have a yaris s auto in flint mica.

I still need to get the dealer to paint some small parts of the car since it came with a tiny scratch on it.

So far what I've done with it is put in some silverstar headlights and change out the gauge and radio LEDs, I'm still waiting on the bulbs for the climate controls.

I got a few questions for you guys

The top right corner of the LCD isn't that bright, I've already gone in and resoldered the led once, I'm not too sure what it could be. Any ideas?

Do you guys know what the part number is for the faceplate of the climate controls is, or maybe where I could find it? I was wondering if I could order a new one and just slip it in. You can see I scratched the faceplate holding in the climate controls while taking out the radio. You can see it on the top left side of it and the bottom left of the radio.

And, what do you guys think, should I debadge it?

Oh, and do you guys know if I could get the oem foglights installed, either at a dealer or on my own?

I'm honestly wondering how you switched out your LED lights for your display like that. Please tell.

I just bought a Flint Mica Yaris S-Type and my wife bought a Pacific Blue S-Type only a couple weeks ago. My wife really wished they would have offered that bright "Blazing Blue" on the sedan, but she was content with the Pacific Blue one. We both LOVE the look of my Flint Mica's paint. When cleaned up, in the sunlight, there's no other color that can match it's beauty (IMO)...

Damn, I really like that LED color change you did. I'm gonna have to do that myself...just curious, the "screen" is still green though, right?

since the gauge already a white lights, why did you guy still change them for? is it make them brighter?

it's just LOVE -------- have you never been in LOVE ?

AnZ17N · 06-02-2007, 03:02 PM

I have to agree about the flint mica, there really isn't much to match the color. And yeah, the screen is still the same shade when everything is off and such.

And to jamal, I just changed the turn signals, warning and indicator lights, I didn't touch the actual gauge number area.
