Okay so I bought a spree complete dash kit, and it finally arrived and I am attempting to install it.
I have got the climate control out, sort of... The two control wires are connected at the rear but not to the car allowing me to slide the unit out. I can only see one of the light bulbs which I assume is the top row buttons on the unit. I wasn't given any instructions for this kit, despite clearly being told that I was going to. I also do not know which LED goes where... Any help would be appreciated -------------------- ![]() ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Yeah, it makes sense what you are saying, the flat ones look to have a direction they lit up and the 5SMD ones seem to disperse it all around them.
Would you say it was poor quality build that was the cause of breaking and lights burning off? I have this idea in my head to black out the gauge's glass so when the car is turned off you can't see a thing. Let's hope the white ones will be strong enough to see through once lit up. I'll look locally or within my country. |

But back to my install: the LEDs light up the two control knobs very well, but the AC/ECON switch is almost invisible, and the air selection buttons are also very dim -------------------- ![]() ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
