This will look even better one my new gauge face arrives (nudge nudge)  |

| Re: Swapped here's the completed project
you can get LEDs from this guy http://stores.ebay.com/HKJE-Led-Lamp-Center look for the PLCC-2 SMT leds. Although, if you've never soldered before, I really recommend you find someone who can, preferably someone with SMT experience. (I knew that class would come in handy  )

| Re: Swapped I used 15 3 for the multi display, 6 for the speedo, 2 for each gauge, I left the other indicators stock. As for dimness, yes, the tach, gas and temp were dim due to the orange in the gauge face, but that's been swapped out so now it's just fine. |

| Re: Swapped Very nice. I wish Scion had heard our pleas for better color choices on the dash gauges. Heck, even Ford gives you a color choice in some of their cars.
Does look a lot better than stock though. Nice job. |
