just did mine in blue. had to file down the num74 led a little before it'd fit without deforming the socket too much for that to fit back into the transparent ring. the socket thing was sorta square-ish.
got the file out, laid it on the table, gripped the led in some plyers, then took a few long swipes down each of the 4 directions to...square-off-the circumference?? anyways, thanks again for the writeup. when i figure out how to work this digital camera i'll take some pics. |

I'd love to do this, especially now that I've finally got directions (or at least somebody to harass) on changing the clock colour. Problem is, I just installed my 200W Alpine deck and specifically got a black face and green display to match the rest of the car.
 Oh well, at least I can fix the ignition light. Instructions on changing the power window switch lights This post has been edited by Galcobar: Apr 15, 2005 - 2:16 AM |

the cig lighter is a strange toyota bulb with a huge base. i got a num74led and then smashed the hell out of the toyota bulb and then put the led in there. didn't even use solder, just bent it the right way. hasn't failed on me yet (about 1 year) though i might replace it with a soldered led+resistor series at a later date. the plastic ring is more translucent than transparent, and even the stock toyota bulb didn't light the ring very well.

very interesting post. I will see about doing a blue color, i have seen in a corolla 9th generation website how this guy used permanent marker and painted all his lights blue, even the stereo. Ill see how that one works, thanks...

Thanks for the write up. I love what you did. Did you get the color gauges? Or did you get the red LEDs for it?

I broke the lighter bulb, how can i replace it, it sucks. By the way I am dipping my regular bulbs in blue paint for glass that i got in walmart for 2 bucks. Its a cheaper option.
what size LED is the clock, and the window controls. What is the difference between wagner 194 and Sylvana 72 thye look the same. Which one should i use. On another note, i have replaced the bulb for the bin on the passenger site, however it does not lght up, anyone has an exp. I dont think they will make a fuse just for this, since everythig else works fine. thanks...
