10 Series Illuminated Vehicle Locator Badges Trade

[Dleo3359]

Good Afternoon Fellow Forum Affiliates,

I am posting today in hopes of swapping my hyper white Scion TC/XB illuminated vehicle badges/emblems for the blue color variance of the 10 series badge. These are brand new, that I had purchased from a connection I made on this site. I didn't know they were of a different color until they were installed and there isn't anything wrong with them at all, it's just I am picky and was going for a certain look. If it is of anyone's interest to discuss a possible trade/swap and/or purchasing the front and rear badges in this color please inbox me or leave a visitor message and I should get back to you fairly promptly. These emblems will fit a TC or XB but not an FRS and they are brand new, just a week old, I baby my car so I would expect a fair trade and would also consider paying for these badges, along with the trade as well. Thanks for reading!

You sure its not just a wiring issue? Series 10 badges light up both white initially and then blue

Thanks for the reply I didn't install them myself, I don't think it's that since I had a mod. shop do it so I'm sure they knew what they were doing in that department. I informed the individual I bought them off of and they made a call to the place where they came from. Never mentioned anything about that as a possibility. I also seen from another post of someone that had to get a rear back up emblem that theirs is also this hypo white color variance as well.

You do understand the tC and xB have different sized emblems from the FR-S?

Also there's a controller box wired into the cars for the color change effect.

Yes I know that they are smaller. The XB'S fit the TC that's what I ordered and I have a pair installed on my vehicle. Do you know what that box is called or what the part number maybe so I can order one?

You have to order that part from a Toyota/Scion dealership with a 10 Series VIN number as a owner and you will need the wiring harness also.

Some people have gotten around the VIN protect system but not many.

Any suggestions or tips on how to get around that?

Even If he did, he wouldn't tell you. He is against people putting limited edition Toyota parts on their car.

Yep @funwheeldrive knows my postion on this.

I did say that some people have gotten around the VIN protect system but not many.
All a person has to do is find a greedy stealership to sell them the parts.

Nothing rude about it as the parts we are speaking about are in the Toyota warehouse for customers cars as needed for replacement parts only.

That maybe the case but you're replying to my thread remember so please be respectful its just common courtesy. We're all adults, so please approach me as one and I'll do the same. And it's not like I'm adding a scion badge to an unrelated model. I didn't know anything about the 10 series until after I had already purchased my car, otherwise I would've bought a 10 series so what else am I suppose to do?....

It's your thread, in a Scion FR-S forum, in which you do not own one asking for a part which is reserved in limited quantity for a limited edition run.

I honestly don't care but he wasn't being rude at all. However I don't think many people are going to be willing to give you their VIN or swap their ~400 dollar emblems with you.
