Anyone else not satisfied with red interior lights... - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Looks good; I like it! I think I'm gonna stick with red and just fix the clock LED's so they're red too.

Bingo.

I would be lying if I didn't say that the solid orange gauges of the BRZ was a selling point over the FRS.

Might not look bad on my Firestorm... I could always go for the Superman Theme... ehhh... maybe not.

I like the orange... reminds me of my old FC

Blue lights seems like a played out ricer thing now.. My Porsche had amber interior and my BMW looked a lot like my BRZ.. Much more grown up and useful.

This certainly didn't take off like I had expected.

Maybe if you offered an actual DIY kit with instructions it would gain more interest

just a thought.

Yes, @Brody602 is right. People have been asking for this for some time. But than nothing ever came of it so it died a quick death. I'm sure the good folks on here are still interested but you can't keep us holding out forever!

I love it! I want to change my interior and exterior theme to white and blue...I want to have a blue footwell and thought itd clash with the red interior lights but this works perfect.

On my Canadian BRZ head unit, it's possible to change the LED light colour on it, from an array of colours, and it gives you the option to make custom colours.
Is it possible to make these lights also be able to change in relation to the colours on my head unit?

Can you make a DIY? Can't really get you to do the work since I'm in Canada.

Also you drive an evo, which one :P Evo=my dream car

What did you expect? You didn't write up a DIY, and neither did you even advertise that you'd be willing to do this as a service for people living in <wherever> area.

I for one would love to see something come of it, because red/ orange lights in a car are my least favorite. Would much prefer something different.

Just did mine yesterday. Did a red fade for red line.

There are numerous reasons why your color choice is a bad idea. I highly recommend against ever changing the color of any warning indicators. And the font isn't the same color.

It also appears you weren't able to figure out how to use a white LED for the temperature knob and keep the indicator blue.

I might be willing to release a full DIY kit for this with parts and instructions for those of you who are interested.

Um y so negative dude? I did use a white led for the temp know I was just smart enough to also use blue vinyl overlays to change the ac letters to blue and i also chabged the indicator to blue. I kept the warning indicators that I wanted red and changed the ones like door and others I see more often to blue but I still know what they mean. people have been asking for a diy for awhile now from u but u never posted one. I also pmed u asking a questiin with no response but I took enough pics and was gonna do my own diy since ive done like 5 tc gauges before so it s nothing that hard to me.
