I hate paying for their workmanship, but would consider doing that as a last resort. Any of you have successfully opened the dashboard?

Err, should be meter cluster then.

Well, I just unscrewed that 2 screws on top of the front cover ! , then I see 4 more screws, 2 on top, 2 on bottom, I stopped there because I'm not changing the bulb now.

Btw, the stock meter uses bulb, can I just switch to LED like that? I also plan to change the cabin lamp into white LED

Cheers

opss...yup...sorry bout that...there are 2 more screw at the bottom... :D

nope...
tried to change it into LED...it will burn immediately...need to put some resistance, which will make it much more complicated !

just use the stock bulb...
if wanna change the color...perhaps you need to put a colored sticker at the back of the clusters...

Yeap, just read about it here

Replace you cars instrument panel lights with LEDs.

That dude used a multimeter to test the voltage, then solder a transistor to the LED, maybe that is what I will do, but have to make sure the LED can fit into the holder.

If put colored sticker, then the brightness will reduce already, I want to put white LED, so it will be as bright as those on Civic/MyVi
 
anyone got try to replace the LED to meter? can shared ur pic here?n cost aswell?:driver:
 
I read some forums and people have successfully modified their Wira meter to put White LED using T5/T10 LED, so I believe its doable ! Just need some advise from sifu here who have been there, done that :D
 
karhoe,
i think for toyota is mostly T5 behind the meter cluster, no harm buy some T5 to try out for yourself. one thing to be aware of is the light-spot and dark-spot (uneven brightness according
to how far the area is from the light sources) in which u can easily notice once the LEDs are in and switched-on. recommend to do it during evening/night time to fully enjoy the LEDs effects!
if u DIY-ing, pls post some pic of b4 & after to share, thanks. :)

Will most probably do it after my exams in 2 weeks time, managed to open up the meter panel to reveal the meter, all left is to remove the screws which hold the meter together. Sure, I will definitely post up the pictures.

Also, I managed to fix all the aircond vents in my car ! When I got it, all koyak already ! It seems like the plastic that holds all the vents together is too brittle, after 15 years under the sun, I replaced it with a thin teflon sheet which is super heat resistance and now the vents are working perfectly again !

As we all know, Toyota cars come with a dimmer control, to adjust the brightness of the LED, would adjusting that have impact on the LED?

My ONLY fear is that I will blow some fius, or damage the entire meter panel in the process of changing the light bulb LOL

What is VVT light? I know Sunway area got alot of accessories shop, any shop to recommend? Or anywhere near Old Klang Road, OUG, Seri Petaling area?

Thanks
