    i bought that kit too but cant find no one to install it for me. i went to every single auto shop in town (no joke) and everyone told me the same thing, "yo no me meto en eso". translation: i dont mess with that! i cant do it no soldering experience but the kit does come with great instructions.

    Dude, it's not that difficult to do once you get started it'll go pretty quick. Try going to http://www.oznium.com and do a search on installers they have a list available of people who install the LED's .GL

    I wouldnt recommend doing the mod if you have no soldering history, they are very small and delicate as well as you need a very fine point soldering iron. I also used a very low heat in order to not damage any components. by any chance do your instructions look like the ones here http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=180314 because those are the ones i received with mine, and they were in black and white so you couldnt make out the writing on them.

    Those are the ones that guided me with mine.Yeah I agree that it might be a bit intimidating but it's fairly easy.

    It was super easy to do. Mine came out great and it only took about an hr. I did blue numbers with green needles and the turn signals are blue and the seat belt one is green.
