Is it the same speaker as the seatbelt chime? We don't have the overspeed chime in the USDM cars.

First of all thanks for the great tutorial. I was able successfully swap my led's on my cluster gauges, but when I put everything back together I noticed that my needles don't do the sweeping motion when turning on the car. Any one know how to correct that?

You have to set the shift light again, only the brz does the sweeping, while the fr-s gauges shows u where u set the shift light on start up

Does anyone have advice/pictures on taking apart the start button? Two of my friends and I are working on redoing the entire interior of my car and none of us could figure out how to get to the LED in the start button without breaking the assembly. We've all searched the forums and googled to no avail. Any help is appreciated!

I would think that it's made to not come apart for theft protection.

does anyone by chance know the type of LED that is used in the door? I was able to get everything changed over to blue but the LED's in the door are different from what is used on the console.

I did try the larger LED's but they did not work (left one original LED installed to verify if I soldered backwards.

If this is the one you're speaking of its a T10 wedge bulb.

Na, already replaced that. Im talking about the actual window and lock switch LED's in the door (by the speaker).

Thanks though.

According to CJBRZ, the door LEDs are 0805:

Dual Climate Control, Clock, Traction Control, Gauge Cluster are PLCC-2

Dim switch and headlight angle switch are 3mm LEDs.

Trunk open button is a single 0603

The doors and radio are 0805

On a different note, were you able to replace the LED in the start button? If you were, how did you get to the LED to replace it? A friend of mine and I could not figure out how to get to it without breaking the assembly. Thank you in advance for your help!

I did take it apart but was too nervous when I saw it was wired like an electro magnet. I also could not figure out how to remove the white plastic slider without breaking any tabs. Sadly, it's still red.

Kellhound · 09-17-2015, 10:01 AM

3mm round tops? Or the piranha's?

Guys does anyone know if the gauge cluster the entire assembly is replaceable. I'm asking this as I have a toyota 86 not GT , its same as scion frs.
I want to buy a spare gauge cluster just in case so I leave my original untouched. some people the gauge cluster it paired with the ECU of the car but I don't think so.
What do you guys think or know about this.

It IS tied to the ECU and car keys via the immobilizer. The car will not start after cluster swap unless you take it to the dealer and the cluster is programmed to the immobilizer.
