Nope this actually goes in the center console and its better and more rare looking than what the reqular Q45 came with, that meaning better than what the dealers gave people who wanted a CD changer with there q45's

This to me is like comparing the seat switches of the 1990 to the 1992+

The 1990 just wins, if only they lit up the 1994+ ppl would have noting on us.

I meant the seat controls part, The switches for the seat controls not the wndow controls.

And no they won't light up trust me I have opened them up.

I need to get my hands on the 1994+ seat switches.

I can get those would they fit though?

I was going to try the rear tail lights too but decided not to.

I bet we can make them light up.Drill 3 tiny holes on the switch or one and put and LED in it lol.

Bootleg style.

Thats what I was thinking of too but except for the LED part and the drilling.

But I also have the fear of too much lights.

To be honest the lights on the seat controls would be pointless.I mean to always have it lit feel me?I rather have it all off and just window switchs.Though im having trouble putting LEDs in them.

I still gotta do my cluster haven't had time to.Also for the trunk i need a Blue neon bar since i got two 15's now.

Yea the only reaso I would want lights is to be able to adjust my seat at night, But I have a hard time finding the buttons in the day.

I perfer the 1990 Q45 seat controls.

Those are plug and play (same plug as the new controls).

I have no idea on making the brakes turn pink beside changing the bulbs pink.

Your interior is black right, if so no painting required for you.

Those 90 Q45 controls only came in black I think, MAYBE another color but I am unsure.

Some extremly early 1991 Q45 came with those as well.

Hope you can grab a pair for me.

You have a job ahead of you for LED but yea all you have to do is remove the door panel (Or in the junkyead just take a bat or a crow bar to the door panel you won't need the rest of it), After its remove then install the new controls and re-assemble.

Yeah, after those hacks, the Yaris has to look pretty good, at least until unknown007 starts hacking on it.
