This is awesome. My bf and I are getting our 1st Scion tC tomorrow and I'm so excited I can hardly sleep. Can't wait to start doing mods! Love the tutorials!
@@illitsquillet I actually didn't like it. Was like a 4 banger with a kazoo for a muffler. Bought another 67 RS ragtop Camero. Feels like driving a real car again.
I have a 2007 scion tc and I love all your videos please keep making them you’ve helped me with a few things! I hate waiting on a man to do things for me so I learn and do it myself so thanks
Really nice tutorial. I thought there were way more LEDs behind there. I wanted to try this a while back but since I don't have much experience with soldering I stayed away. It doesn't look that difficult so I think I'll give it a shot. What about using painters tape to mark needle location then just lining it back up on reinstall?
I have bought the wrong led's for my 09 tc and trying to do blue but everything I'm looking for says the t10 but with taking everything apart I have found that it's wrong. And the owners manual does not tell me what bulbs to look for and neither does any other website I go to. So since you have a tc where did you do your research for the right bulbs to use?
Too many words. LEDs are diodes, that means they work in only one direction. If it doesn't light up, flip it, if that doesn't work, try another LED. The triangle is a directional indicator to help install in the correct orientation. Done. heat up leg of LED, apply solder to the leg to tin. Repeat with the other side. Hold component to the PCB, heat up leg, add more solder if needed, leave iron in place, remove solder, remove iron. Inspect quality. Repeat for the remaining.
Hi, I have a 2005 Sequoia and I took the speed cluster out thinking I was gonna change the LED with T5 l didn't know what I was looking at but thank you for making the video doesn't seem too hard to do. But where can I buy the led lights thank's
hey i disconnected my speedometer but never got to install the led lights i just pluged it back in and it wont turn on ? any help on why it wont turn on i cant drive at night.
thank you for the video it helped me a lot. I just had a question, in a different video the person changing the leds mentioned that if you wanted to go blue you have to change your resistor. in your video I don't recall you mentioning anything like that. did you replace anything else besides the leds
quiero cambiar las luces del speedometer de mi scion tc 2009 ...encontre el website que recomiendas pero nose cuantas lcd debo comprar??? ...quiero en blanco azul y rojo
I was so psyched to see this how to video. I want my cluster lights blue like yours But that is way too difficult for me to attempt. I would probably snap all the plastic pieces and mess up my whole cluster. Lol. I guess ill have to deal with the ugly orange lightrs.
Can anybody help me I have a 2008 scion XD and I'm trying to find out what type of leds I need to buy to change out my cluster!!!...please somebody with a TV or xb please help because more than likely they all use the same type of led
Okay I already have an idea how all the swapping, soldering works, but what I'm trying to figure out is, how do I know what LED lights up (for example) the Needle, the numbers, and the divider lines or whatever because I want to do white red and blue theme. Can you help?
+Jesse “ThatSalvagedAutomaticTc” Contreras thats wassup same here ..you think itll last or even be worth it? i been on n off but for now yeah i want to lol
You have an automatic as well? I think it will be worth it but that's why im waiting for my motor to blow because i don't want to turbo it at 130,000 miles on the car. id rather wait and get a fairly new motor, or a swap with something else.
Hey man, I love what you have done with the car, your front looks great, I have a question on the Halo projectors you have. I have halos as well and I want the projectors to be HIDs, how hard is it to install them?
The hids? There not that hard at all. It's easier if you take off your headlight and put the bulbs then just put it back and connect the ballast and all.
nice work hope down the line you still have the car and don't sell it that what I see alot I gave an 06 toyota corolla witch I also put a lot of work in to it now it's just in my drive way gathering dust I have 06 scion tc but I keep it 100% original to much work and you don't know if you keep it later down the line when you see another car that catches your eyes lile scion frs
Finally found what I was looking for, This video was so helpful, very in depth. Awesome job, thank you so much Jesse! 😀
Will do it yourself?
I have a 2008 Scion tC and I love your mods keep it up

purple ALL DAY! Thank you so much for this!
How many leds? And do you know how to change like the stereo color area?
Seems like more work than it's worth.
agreed
Nah, i got it done and only took me a week in the process of wanting to
If you wanna make your car stand out, then it is always worth it.
Well if you have 2 cars and love messing around with cars I would definitely do it
Where would you take it to have this done?
Too many words.

Awesome thank you so much! Did you do the HVAC center area too?
For the needle what kind of acrylic paint? Like nail polish?
I saw someone do this but instead of changing the lights. He put little tiny cut out sticky notes and made a rainbow. It was actually dope
I watched that one too.
What are these bulbs called? Could you send a link to where you got them?
in case you are still looking they are LEDs not bulbs. the factory stock color in the tc is amber
How many LEDs did you have to replace
In ranger rover sport 2009 I can ?
How many LED do I need to buy for a 2005 Scion tC?
Do you have a link of where
You got the lights from 🥺
Where can i go to get this done?
Where'd you get your leds from?
How about doing a video on how to replace a cracked speedometer lens. Mine is cracked and I can't find anything about how to replace it. 2010 Mini S
does anyone know what type of bulb a 2009 Chrysler 300 LX uses?? I want to change them to red.. rn its nasty green.
Did you find a way trying to change mine
Does this work for 08 Chrysler sebrings or no?
Do u have a video of a muffler delete on a second gen tC
Did mine but the rpm and the mph gauge isn’t working, not sure why
Hi, I have a 2005 Sequoia and I took the speed cluster out thinking I was gonna change the LED with T5 l didn't know what I was looking at but thank you for making the video doesn't seem too hard to do. But where can I buy the led lights thank's
Where did you purchase the LED lights? for the dash?
Also is this the same process and lights for the second gen tC?
where you get the lights from ?
need to know what number is the led to change color for my scion tc 2007 cluster thanks
Where did you bought them?
bro i like your channel alot bro start doing more driving vlogs bro keep up with the good work, btw i love your tC
Thanks means a lot. 👍
duuuude my old tc looked just like yours. the weird adjusted radio unit and everything.
I changed but when I started drinking after a few bumps my left colon stop lighting up any idea y?
Sir i gonna ask something about the theme color is it ice blue or blue?
what size leds I've looked on Amazon and can't find them
Neyo Taurean any news? I looked too and couldn’t find them either
I have a question my rpms work sometimes and it takes a long time to work on the rest. What do u think it is?
It’s been 3 years, still having the same issue?
Doing it on my 2008 Acura TL. Can't decide if I want red or green.
How many led u need tu change
Did u not replace the resistors?? For the LED??
hey i disconnected my speedometer but never got to install the led lights i just pluged it back in and it wont turn on ? any help on why it wont turn on i cant drive at night.
Bro where did you get the white trim for your car?? Dope!
You can plasti dip.
i did the same on mine you can spray paint and clear coat or hydro dip or plasti dip
You said if we don't have the same car, but I don't think you said anywhere what kind it is?
Lol i finally finished soldering my leds for my Scion tC and i didn’t even burnt out the soldering point like you, was my first time solderin alado
What kind of leds?
Where did you get your leads at
How do I adjust the speedmetre gauge in the EX Mitsubishi Lancer
Robin Bedisse my guess would be to put the car in cruise control. Use a gps app like waze to determine your speed. Put the needle on at that speed.
How much would you charge me to do mine
Don't you need to change some resistors to get it to work ?
How did you do the led switches in the car like that ?
thank you for the video it helped me a lot. I just had a question, in a different video the person changing the leds mentioned that if you wanted to go blue you have to change your resistor. in your video I don't recall you mentioning anything like that. did you replace anything else besides the leds

Nice Video. Did your do ur console and clock as well?
Where did the speedometer sticks from? the blue ones?
?
Sean Chavez i think he means the needles. The needles are painted
Could you do a quick how to install the lift gate glass please???
can I use those LEDs in panel?
Great video! Thanks!

I don't remember from the top of my head how many I used
Can anybody help me I have a 2008 scion XD and I'm trying to find out what type of leds I need to buy to change out my cluster!!!...please somebody with a TV or xb please help because more than likely they all use the same type of led
All of the light bulbs you need are listed in your car manual!
Hey Jesse. What lights did you use? I cant find them
hey i have a 08 tc what size rims did u get on your str 606s

What year is your tC
Dude that exact part of my trunk doesnt go back either :/ lol
Where can i buy the lights though? Anyone? Link?
You lost me once you got to the motherboard lol
ZAHTAE33 SAME 😂
Can you do this on a 2016 Scion TC?
Yes it is possible
nice Im trying to find the bright white instead of the more blue ones. I like when it looks more from the manufacturer instead of custom.
+John Quintana sweet mod it to your liking. White would look so sweet if I were to pick a different color I would have picked white
John Quintana hey did you ever changed your lights on the speedometer? If so where did you get your lights from?
hey bro loving your videos. I own a tc 07 as well. Some mods and much more to go. What city do you stay at?
you didnt have to use any resistors? i skimmed threw the video sorry if i missed it
No I didn't use any resisters. You could thoo
After led swap can you still use the dimmer?
Yes you can
Awesome video man!
How to change color of the engine start button
thanks for the clip, I'm going to change mine as well
I dismantled my speedometer and assembled it back together and now my gas temp speed and gear lights aren’t working 😕
Hey!?.....Has anyone seen those cans of white spray paint I had laying around by any chance? ......
Would have been A good idea to show the finished product in vehicle working correctly.
I was waiting for that too. To see it finished
Okay I already have an idea how all the swapping, soldering works, but what I'm trying to figure out is, how do I know what LED lights up (for example) the Needle, the numbers, and the divider lines or whatever because I want to do white red and blue theme. Can you help?

hey bro you still thinking about turboing your tc?
Yeah I do later down the line. Once my motor blows I was thinking of turboing.
+Jesse “ThatSalvagedAutomaticTc” Contreras yeah but automatic turbo ?
yeah man that's the plan so far.
+Jesse “ThatSalvagedAutomaticTc” Contreras thats wassup same here ..you think itll last or even be worth it? i been on n off but for now yeah i want to lol

Where did you buy your leds?
You want green if you have headaches because some how green lowers headache pain
Can I do this with my Dodge Journey 2019?
Pretty sure you can do it with any car as long as it doesn’t have a digital gauge idk how digital gauge work never took time to look at it
Can you make a vid in how to get tru a fire wall on you tC ?
Yeah when I do my fogs install I'll show you guys. Cause that's how I got my wires through.
+Jesse “ThatSalvagedAutomaticTc” Contreras thank you looking forward to that vid (:
+Miclo Santana even better that's the reason why I wanted to do that !
how many total lights do i need to buy before i start this
What car is this from? It looks so cheap

Www.oznium.com and just go to scion zone and they should be there
