Gunnut Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I had the day off today so I thought ahead and had everything ready to fix some annoying problems with my LS400. I started the day by replacing a couple of burnt out tailights and while I was at it I went ahead and replaced the license plate lights. then I moved on to the front. I replaced the headlights with Silverstar bulbs and eliminated the yellow glass on the foglights. One of the foglights was burnt out so I replaced it with a modified H3 bulb for $5 instead of waiting for my Toyota dealer to order one for me for $20. THe final big project was replacing the blacked out climate control LCD. This went much smoother than I expected it to. I read all the tutorials on the project and dove in. Everything went like butter and now I finally have a clear LCD. Not bad for a morning of tinkering. Maybe this afternoon I'll tear into my antenna.

Paul Sherman Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Jim; Is the CC LCD new or salvage? If new, who sells them? If salvage, how'd you find one that wasn't also blacked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnut Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 I replaced the LCD on my existing CC unit. I bought the LCD off of Ebay for @$120 shipped. There are 45 solder points to remove/install the new LCD. It takes time and patience, but not a whole heck of a lot of skill. Well worth doing.

Paul Sherman Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Well, I've been soldering for 31 years, guess I may be able to do it. Now to find that seller on eBay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
