09 Liftback Speedo Gauge cluster dilemna with picsŪ
Snow day from work today so decided to pull my gauge cluster on my 09 2dr LB to follow VodkaLush's DIY for changing the LED colors. I had purchased the blue LED's he referred to for the sedan. So once I got it all apart (see pics) I noticed:

It is possible to use the ones you bought though to replace the ones on the cluster. I have tried it and they do work. Just need to add a little more solder to make up for the 1 milimeter in size difference.

I was just worried that they would not be bright enough, but looking at the work you did it looks like they would have been fine (with some extra solder) Having the clock still be orange would still freak me though. The eLED website does have the correct LED's so I may still go through with it. The larger LED's look like they would be easier to solder

If anyone feels comfortable swapping my LED's let me know. I have the blue LED's, just no SMT experience. Shoot me a quote.

I actually just ordered the larger blue LED's to get this done on my 09 2dr. The larger size will have the added advantage of being esaier to work with, but they are a tad more expensive. I'll suck it up and live with the orange clock
Sure . . . the Yaris is a small enough car - stick your car in one of those padded FedEx® envelopes and overnight it to me - I'll swap out your LED's, wash it and wax it, and mail it back sarcasm FTW In all seriousness would you drive to PA to have Don (DD) do it or MA to have me do it? In reality I have some (but limited) SMD SMT experience so I would be comfortable doing it on my own car - but would not want to take the responsibility of F$#@ing up somebody else's ride. |
