I saw this is a couple pictures on here, how would i install LED lights inside the vents on my 1994 celica, is it hard? I dont' know anything really about wiring and all that, so would it be hard to do? Thanks. -cnelson.

Ok, just a question.. my guage lights are pretty dim so what if i want to put new blulbs on? And are there certins blubs to change the nedle color, and differant blubs to change the numbers and stuff? -cnelson.
Also, sometimes when i turn my lights on, the lights for my shifter, like where it says "P, D, N, 2 etc.." Sometimes they don't come on. But other times they come on n/p. Any idea why? -cnelson. This post has been edited by cnelson: Dec 13, 2006 - 10:01 AM -------------------- "Drive Well...

Thats a common short I've seen in a bunch of Auto's so IDK. I don't own autos so you might have to ask one of those guys. o0black0o has this same problem. As for changing the bulbs in the gauge cluster, I edit my list above: That should be the first thing you do. Doesn't involve wireing and will give you some idea how these things work. You can get you some colored 194 bulbs with gels [looks like a condom for your bulbs - stock is green] with the same color and get a deeper tone to the color. Play around with those and the 194 LEDs you can buy on ebay and the ricer sections of larger parts houses. Different combinations do different effects. Our gauge cluster has 3 main lights for the gauges and needles together not seperate. There is a sticky in this forum that goes into detail. Then do the vents, radio etc. as shown above. It's a learning process. -------------------- ![]() |
