more red in the interior *w/write up*, light around key Options

[juBz86]

well i decided to change the light around the key hole from green to red. here are some pics. in the pics it came out a little orange, but if you seen it in person its red!! it was extremely easy to do!! i can do a write up if you guys want.

i don't have that light....

looks good though. .

[juBz86]

really??? did you check?

[Mynzeyes]

yep yep. mine had all the options too from what i understand. iono. someone told me you can get them from the yota dealer for about 30 bucks or somethin...don't think it's worth it. but that's pretty neat. .

as for mine..i colored it permanent red...i did blue before and looks really nice..but my guages are red and i also colored my ac and all the little stuff red so it goes...but i just used permanent marker....i tried a little LED blue bulb in there and looks really nice...

[juBz86]

yea theres a little orange bulb w/a condom on it. its smaller than a 194. there are a lot of ways you could change the color of the bulb. i'll post i little write up later. promise

cool, thanks. but if you're bussy, no worries. i read another post that said it was a 74 bulb. my main question is: do you need to use that crazy acc key setting (the shop manual i just got said something about this) to take the ignition out? or can it be disassembled (enough) without putting the key in the ignition?

thanks

[juBz86]

ok sorry for being mad late with this!




first thing. pop off the the plastic piece that covers the ignition keyhole.^^VV





then look under the keyhole for a small screw.^^


pull off the clear plastic piece which should be connected to the bulb^^


twist off the bulb and you're left with is the plastic piece (you might want to take off the green condom)^^


i ended up makeing a little enclosure out of red divider tabs. you could take out the bulb. i dont know if they make the bulbs in different colors but you take it out to napa or somewhere and check if they make them in different colors.

o yea then just put every thing back 2gether.

just to let u guys know i think thats a 74 bulb.

sweet looks pretty easy i think i might do this...i want it in blue..i gotta find the how-to so i can do the cooling panel and dash n stuff

[ArizonaRed]

I have to take my dash apart anyway so im doing it. The cig lighter is easy to change the light....just twist the side connector and light pops out. dont bother with the lighter itself, i had to clean mine cuz it was so dirty and it was a bastard to take apart.
does anybody know if the celica comes stock with an ignition light bc my gt is lit up and i just noticed that my st didnt, either it went out or it doesnt have one.
Jubz86, did you change your ac unit to green also? i am wondering how i disconnect the cables from it (one is such a pain).
I can post pics if naybody wants.

[Zimluura]

thanks a bunch. that's an awesome writeup.

[tomazws]

[droptopGT]

[Nemises]

[juBz86]
