 I cut and stripped the wires on the stock light and then wired up 2 3mm led's with a 1k ohm 1/2 resistor to them, I'm impressed with my work to tell you the truth, it never turns out this nice the first try. --------------------  Representing the Convertible Crew since 2008 |

Yeah, I've swapped mine out for white LED's too. My dials still have a slight greenish tint to them, but the needles look great. How do you like your bulbs? I'm tempted to get those, since I bought 5-LED bulbs from v-leds.com and they all point straight forward. Granted, the light distribution is fine, no faded spots or anything, but I'm just hoping maybe your bulbs are better than mine about that green tint.

I see no green tint whats so ever with mine  they're definitely worth itQUOTE (Cavegod @ Aug 23, 2009 - 3:41 AM) just be greatful you didn't have the immobiliser! http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.p...2128&st=140  ROFL wtf, you had to wire in a whole new led harness? -------------------- Representing the Convertible Crew since 2008 |
