Stereo, and Lighting Questions.

[Geo]

Well I'm half way through, thought id just post a pic.

The results are good, but with the stock green stereo it looks shocking.

I might change them to blue, might look better, with the dash, i dunno.

I used red sleeves, got them from autobarn Narva T-5's there 5mm sleeves, they were a tad too long, but still did the job.

You can buy bulbs that are differnt colours, id assume ud need 5mm bulbs.

Do u know anything about the condoms one? where can i get them?

They're they Narva T-5's. Autobahn.

Ok, just changed them to blue, still having trouble with the A/C and Rear Dimister, cant seem to change them yet.. But BigBum, you are correct, changing them to blue seems quite difficult if your using sleeves, they dont give off a nice colour, like the red ones do.

yeah the blue kinda sucks, i might change mine to red soon too. the a/c and rear buttons, if u look behind the button... there should be a small green thing that u can twist open to access the globe :P

did u end up getting the colour globe for the bulb that u lost?

Nope, because i dropped that green thing they come in to screw it in, so i just got a new one from toyota.

for the A/C buttons, is it a twistable thing, just like the clock, because i didnt see one..

hmm i dont remember. i don't think i even changed those buttons

lemme know if u do.

[Geo]

Hehe, yeh i'll check again when i change them back to red.

I'm thinking the paints would work alot better, but i dont want to ruin the globes.

i dunno how u can ruin them. u can always use a chemical liquid to wash off the paint if u need to.

You do raise a good point. LOL. I'll consider it now, it all depends o the colour of my new head unit

[Azza]

Dunno if you boys evcer got around to looking into the head unit to see what lights can be done there, but if you didn't, I did....

You can't do anything unless you actually paint the existing LED that is really well soldered onto the circuit board....

bugga

[Azza]

Head Unit LED

Have a look at that Brandon....thats the LED on the circuit board on the HU...

If you can paint it, then I guess you can change the color display....dunno if the hobby paints would be any good there though...

hmmmm looks like theres a green sleeve on that bulb. if it is, then changing it to red wouldn't be a problem.

what about the other lights behind the buttons and knobs? any ideas about them?

Its actually a green LED, with no sleeve on it, and it distributes the light to behind everything via plastic distirbuters....like a piece of plastic stuff that reflects the light up it.

THere are only 2 lights, and they are on either side of the display screen....
