A while back I installed a spree dash kit and while all the bulbs worked fine the light didn't pass through the switches. My question is did any celicas come with switches that let light pass through or will I have to file the backs of them down?

so you are talking about the back-lighting then, the 3x 10mm neo-wedge bulbs?
if those bulbs are on you should be seeing something at least. are you certain they're in the correct way and getting juice? a way to test might be to take the knobs off while the unit is in the car and it's night time. if they are getting juice and are just not powerful enough you may want to try these guys http://autolumination.com/74.htm search for: SMT II Neo - Wedge LED Instrument Panel Bulbs those look like the best bet at the moment. is that what's in the spree kit? i have the single smt neo wedge in there right now and they light up alright (not the best, but plainly visible) autolumination seems to frequently get new stuff in though, so i'm holding out for some kind of 5 smt before i pull it out again. |

All the bulbs are indeed working as I twisted and untwisted the bulb while it was pugged in. It seems that my switches just dont seem to let light pass through them. I may just dremel the backs to see if Ican make them clear -------------------- Dude I almost had you
