They're on their way to you Troy .....Post some pics this spring when you get them installed.

Just received them today, Keelie, they look real good! Thanks for the door sills!

Now get them installed and take pics lol.:boxed:

Well, I already told Keelie I wasn't going to be able to install them until spring, I don't have the luxury of a big heated garage to work in over the winter...and there's 3 feet of snow outside right now... so just let me hibernate...! :sleepy10:

I have the door sills, my question is: has anyone attempted to change the light color? Would like to know who it is done.

Well, since my car color and my interior dome/map lighting is blue LED already, I won't be needing to change mine at all... would be nice if they offered them in different LED colors, though, to go with the different car colors, orange for the RS1s and green for the RS2s, for instance...

Although, you know, I may not even bother to wire mine up right away, they just look good unlit as well... and I've seen them lit on other xDs - even at night they are rather dim, they really need to be be a lot brighter. Since the majority of the car shows I go to are in the daytime, and of those only a rare few have a glow-off competition at night, and the fact I don't have any other glow-off related lighting installed on my car other than the red Cylon Scanning Eye behind my grill, I kinda wonder if it's actually worth all the effort to wire them up, at least for my car...

thanks Troy. If you come across something let me know.

OK, for those interested in maybe doing an LED swap on the xD door sills, here's a couple pics of the door sill circuit boards, removed from the sills - There are two surface-mount right-angle LEDs soldered to each board, one at either end of the SCION window, with the element shining horizontally facing towards each other... so it would just be a matter of unsoldering and re-soldering some small LEDs... you probably could get away with using small round LEDs with leads, the leads cut real short and bent at right-angles, and just aim them horizontally as well...

Notice one surface-mount LED is broke off and missing on the wired end of the one board - Hey Keelie, you sold me defective sills, lol! Doesn't matter, since I'll hopefully be replacing all the LEDs with some brighter ones anyway... :)

Thanks Troy that help alot. Now, what is a good place to order a brighter LED that will fit? Of course a different color.

well, I was searching around online, but haven't found those exact right-angle LEDs at all - I wanted to compare brightness specs with other LEDs to find out... the problem with ordering from a electronics parts warehouse online is, you usually have to buy in quantities of 100 or 1000 pieces... :(

Do not need a 1000. I will look around. Let you know if if I find anything.

Superbrightleds.com or autoillumination.com could probably get you the hook up.

or garage 2917 on scionlife.... he sells tons of LED's

Well, none of those automotive LED places sell any right-angle surface mount LEDs for edge lighting of panels... that's what these are doing, lighting the edge of the clear plastic plate that's underneath the SCION logo... I'll probably have to just solder in a regular LED lying down horizontally in place of the missing surface-mount one, but the LED must be no bigger than a 3mm T1 case - that's all the space there is between the circuit board and the underside of the sill when it is assembled. A standard-size 5mm LED wont fit.

Try contacting phil at oznium, he might be able to hook you up.

Sorry about that Troy.....I never even took them apart to inspect them when I saw what was involved in installing them.:flowers2::flowers2:
I used to work at a sign shop and the guy I worked with used alot of LEDs in his custom signage. You may want to check out his site and shoot him an email. His name is Matt Lamborn and he's a great guy that would do anything to help a friend out. Tell him I told you to contact him. He's also an awesome freehand pinstriper on cars and trucks! But he's really into doing new and different things with LEDs and would sell you the few you'd need or have ideas for brighter ones if he has them. His website is www.GoldenOpportunitySigns.com

lol, I forgive you, Keelie - I wouldn't expect someone to take them all apart like I did. I had lots of fun getting all the sticky adhesive gunk off the back of the sills before I could even take the boards out... i had to "roll" it all off using my thumb and rubbing real hard.
