    Please tell me you where careful when removing the LCD screen
    You need to make sure that all the pins are back in the same spot when I staking the screen back on...

    :notsure: i cant see it in the pic...but my guess is that you might have either broke the screen of the pins arent in there correctly...

    ive had people with the same problem and 2 where from them some how messing it up when removing it to do the work on it (they did the swap themselves)

    Damnnn. Can it be like also that one of the wires came loose from the harness? I haven't taken it apart since painting the needle white but when I push on the harness the numbers reappear? Idk I was thinking that I would check or replace the harness and the wires going into the harness... If not how much does a new guage cluster cost?

    I wish you were in North Carolina I want this done, I already bought the LEDs thinking I would try it and I talked myself out of it, plus its my only vehicle at the moment so I can't afford any slip ups

    but it wont happen until i receive the parts and idk how long that will take
    new dashes from toyota are $500+ :(

    what do you mean? did you buy the vinyl off of Jones or just made it yourself?

    Have you been able to try these yet?
    I tried these http://www.superbrightleds.com/more...gauge/neox-led-bulb-instrument-panel-led/220/
    but they were too tall and didn't fit into the switches. I assumed the ones you linked would have a similar issue.

    The climate control color isn't in the lights, it's an actual color coating right behind the exterior "silver" you see from the front of the dials...
