gmschiller Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 OUCH! Had mine professionally installed for that very reason. I'm just not comfortable inside the dash of my truck. although I believe I'm about to order an LED bulb replacement kit and gauge kit as well. That should look pretty tight when I'm done. I say let the gurus fix it and have the sucker installed so it doesn't happen again. at least if they fubar it then they will replace it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luilui8812 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 yea i know, but i have been doing stereo installations as well as other A/V electronics for about 7 years. but everyone has bad days. if your replacing the bulbs on the CLUSTER LIGHTs my cardomain might help you. i did it myself for my blazer, check it out and tell me what you think. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2571095/6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Very nice dash,Good work! Why don't you take your unit to a shop and see what they charge to check your unit and sub before you send it to Pioneer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's PIMP! I think I'm too old to use that word now, but sometimes it just fits. I like it. That's exactly what I'm after. I've found a few forums that have some helpful hints for my dash mod. I even found a dude up in Ontario where the 15 and the 10 meet that does the mod on Tundras. But I do love the look. Imagine how good that will look with all blue interior lights including the console lighting. I will go with white LED lights for the door and map lights though.

Thanks i might do that. to see how much it would cost because everytime i go there to check prices their ridiculously overpriced. a z2 unit is like 1800 and z3 is around 2200. and i DID replace ALL my console light, its on page 4 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2571095/4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
