    blew a fuse or 2

    I tried installing some LED license plate lights & replacing my dash lights with LED's. not sure which did it but as of now everything except my headlights is dead. now I get to figure out what happened. apparently this seems to be a common issue in toyotas. Don't bother with LED taillights, etc!

    some people also say this due to cheap/bad LED bulbs causing a short. Beware: i bought them from autolumination.com

    the bad one was a neo-wedge type B(T4)

    I replaced my hvac lights with led's but I'm not really impressed. they are too focused still. the ones I got have 3 led's at 120 degree angles from each other.

    I finally got it removed and a bulb put back in (not happy about that)

    it also took my rear license plate 194's and 2 15A fuses with it, fun times.

    soon as I can buy some more fuses my car will be fixed

    I'll check them out in the future. not impressed with auto lumin at all. I was going to do everything on my car with led's but it's so expensive. over $100 for turn signals, brake lights, running lights, all the interior stuff

    ok, turns out it blew my alarm fuses also so now my parking lights do not flash. I'll have to fix that eventually but I don't feel like pulling the dash apart for a 3rd straight day
