For the foot lights, should have gone full 90's and made it a neon blue, or black light lol.

LOL. I wanted pure functionality for footwell lighting. Don't like mood lighting.

Wired them to the pink and blue wires of the dome light connector behind the driver side chubby. I only wanted them to be on with the doors open.

Damn sounds easy. I will add it to my todo list for the month ;)
If you have a picture of the wires that I have to use please post them :)

It's pretty easy. I had a harder time finding a suitable spot on the passenger side for the board to go on (ended up going on the fan case itself).

You'll see the pink and blue wires.

Thank you. I find the picture. One more thing. Where you bought the led stripe? eBay? And if yes do you have a link for it ?

48SMD! Crazy I need to put one of those boards in the trunk. Right now, I'm using one that fits in the stock socket which has only about 12SMD.

More LEDs to share the work so they're not overworked!

Are these ok for the hvac bulbs ?

Those T4 LEDs should be fine. I did have to scrape off some of the plastic in the hole of the HVAC unit to make the hole bigger. If you have trouble fitting those in, you might have to do the same. Although I don't suspect that since the LED boards don't look like it's bigger than the top of the base.

That sucks about shipping costing more than the LEDs from VLEDs. You'll have to find a reputable LED manufacturer/brand in your country if there is one.

The footwell LEDs will fade on and off as well.

Yes I guess if I want some led bulbs for important lights such as brakes I will buy either Phillips or osram.
Thanks for your help buddy I already ordered these leds you mention that you use.
I will try to do the same with the footwells as you.
Also I purchased some cheap 194 led bulbs too that they claim they are Samsung leds. I will use them on the license plate. And if they are good enough I might use them for the back lights too

Hope it works out

I'm using Osram 194s in the parking lights.



They're nice and bright, and are well focused; unlike the cheap eBay ones that died on me after a month or two (a different, cheap eBay one I got for my brother's Prius c is still working just fine tho).


Here are my reverse lights from an RS taillight replica.

Those are the bulbs and seller I got them from. I think the RS taillights' optics aren't very good as I got more light out of the regular Yaris taillights.

Yes I saw your pictures with the osram bulbs, before. They are good looking.
But if I change these with leds I might change all the bulbs to leds, to look similar. But that’s an expensive project for another day.
I am already working on a bang & olufsen soundsystem on my yaris right now and I am waiting for the parts to arrive (more to come for this. I will make an entire topic for it when the time comes) and that was already expensive. So I will keep a distance from other costly upgrades for now

Wow. Bang & Olufsen items! I'm sure each speaker was $$$$.

[IllusionX]

I'm using very cheap 194's in the license plate, they haven't died on my yet. Been 3+ years now.

Reverse, I got them from a seller locally. Look like normal generic stuff found on eBay, and they are nice and bright. Almost as bright as my friend using HID lol.

I have yet to replace any LED I installed, though I haven't found any good 7442 bulbs for the brake light at an affordable price, so halogens are still in there including the flashers.

I guess you got the hits instead of the misses. Lol.

For the brake lights, I would not get cheap ones since you really don't want those to fail or be dim.

There are many varieties of paper cone speakers.
The do not have foam. They have rubber.
The foam you see outside is for vibration cancellation purposes.
Even bose systems on cars are paper cone. But somehow they sound awesome.
So for me it isn’t a dealbreaker at all.
