i think this would look cool

here's the photoshopped version

modeled after volkswagen (mostly) and then a bit of pontiac, bmw, audi, etc.

tell me what u think?

 

Uhhhh . . . can't see it - not the concept, the photos. Try editing your post inserting .jpg files either using the little "picture" icon, or adding the IMG code before and after. To do this you have to have your pics available online somewhere, either in your CL Gallery or an online photo service like photobucket. Link the url of that photo to your post using the IMG command.

If you exported from PS, they may have defaulted to .psd's the forum doesn't know what to do with.

 

I was able to see it. I like the original Lexus white compared to what you chopped. I think that was what seperated Lexus from BMW and the others. For the radio controls I would really like it if it was a light blue.

 

they're uploaded to photobucket...i had a couple friends just try and it worked for them

are you saying i should just put the images into the chat?

kRonX...yea i agree that it makes it a bit different, but it just seems so boring, so plain, so dull and unoriginal. to me it just seems like something you would find in a car that was made pre-LED's

 

LED's don't have to be red. It looks a bit too Pontiac, but again, it deeps into Audi and BMW. I like it the way it is, or like he said, maybe a little blueish. "unoriginal" would be to copy the BMW and Pontiac guys, my .02c.

 

When ever you get started on replacing your LED's here is what to expect. Its very simple to get to this section. The red circles are 3mm or 5mm SMT LEDs and the one circled in blue could be a regular LED not too big not too small. Don't forget that there are LEDs inside the AUTO and MODE *****, didn't take mine apart but I think there will be another 5 regular LEDs like the ones circled in blue. 3 in the AUTO and 2 in the MODE *****.

 

ahh ic...so are only the ones circled in blue directly replaceable? or do those still have to be soldered? can any of the lights just be taken out and replaced or will every single one require soldering?

 

Every single one requires solder. You will need tweezers and a nice thin tipped soldering iron to do this job.

 

could someone redirect me to somewhere that tells me how to soldier these lights? i think i've seen them on club lexus (pictures or something) but i can't find it again

any help would b appreciated

--thanks!

 

This video will show you how to do it. Note: It is from an XBOX controller, but the process is the same. This is what I used when I changed my door's switches from the Original Green to a bright Blue. http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/video/...STALLATION.wmv

 

send it to O.L.T. on the sc300 forum, he started out doing LEDs on here for people 5 years ago. he did all the lights red on my sc300 almost 5 years ago... gauges, instrument cluster, nakamichi head unit...

 

ok thanks...good video...need to watch it a couple more times to see what i'm looking at!!

how much did he charge to do all of that? any pics?

 

what's O.L.T.? i did a username search and didn't come up with anything

is he on this forum?

 

He is a fellow moderator, here is his member profile, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/members/13879-o-l-t-.html

 

ok i found him...thanks lexmex!

still working on my exhaust project by the way! i know i talked to you a LONG time about that and am still referring to it

im just really aggravated at the exhaust stores are my area...they are telling me what to buy before they even listen to what i want! one of the places refuses to believe that the shape of the exhaust tip makes any difference for the sound that comes out. i brought my phone (which i saved video/audio clips to) and they didn't want to see/hear it! that's ridiculous, so i left and am back to doing research on my own :\
