way to make me feel stupid griffgirl ![]() easy... get a clothes hanger and hook one side on the cable, then slide the other side back to the engine, as soon as you see it out, pull it from the other engine side. -------------------- -Derick

Agreed, it's super easy. I was totally intimidated by this too when I took my CC out. I didn't even need a hanger. It went right through. You realize it's much easier when you actually do it, than when you kind of think about it. It's super easy.

i found a toyota bulb listed on a site once when i searched for the part number in google
(toyota part num: 84999-70007) it said 9.5mm TS i did my cc unit with modified toyota bulbs and num74 leds before the neo-wedge was available. but i got enough toyota bulbs to return to stock (10 bucks a pop at the dealer) and enough neo-wedges to experiment some if the thing ever comes out of my car again. anyway the 10mm neo-wedge (what was listed like that on superlumination.com) looks damn close in a side by side comparison. i still can't say for sure since i haven't tried it myself. i've never heard that dimming leds will reduce their life. and, in fact i have a computer mouse with a pulsating led inside. are you sure about that?? also i have a 1mb, lots-a-photos cc unit howto i wrote up the month i removed and dis-assembled it 4 times. if you want i can send you that in an email. at some point this site might allow my to post that one. but i can't add a howto yet, and it seems like it would be rude to mess Coomer's up (since it was pretty helpful to me). |

Why not just add your how-to as a thread, and then people can refer back to it. I know I'd love to see it, I want to change my CCs to LEDs and the more info the better.

My climate control light on the first top row are all dead, everything else still works. How do I fix that, perhaps changing the bulbs out but then again, I would love more info on the how to.
Zimluura - Do you mind sending me a copy of your how to? thanks This post has been edited by trdproven: Aug 13, 2008 - 10:59 PM -------------------- 94 Celica GT

I remember messing with this. there is a plastic "diffuser" that takes light from one bulb and directs it to the top row of buttons. So you probably just need to replace the bulb . its easy enough if you know how to take apart the controls. ^ the video above is awesome

That is an awesome video - only if they showed how to remove the CC and put it back. I mean just for a complete how to sake.

Something that I'm going to try next time I tear mine out is tying a string to the cable from the engine bay so it'll be easier to thread it through. I'll let you know how it works out for me.
