At some point I decided to replace the traditional roof light bulb with several LEDs. No apparent reason, I was just feeling creative 🙂 I used 5x 5mm white LEDs on a plastic ring with an appropriate resistor. The resulting light intensity was a bit improved but nothing special. I believe that in the near […]

What was the main priority, was to replace the top part of the taillight, the 2-stage driving lights/brake light, which wasn’t as great as I was originally planning. I started making plans […]
One of my longest lasting car projects, I believe is this one. I decided to make my Glanza more… modern looking. So I purchased off eBay plenty of high power 5mm red and orange LEDs, and started experimenting on a new taillights look. After taking my taillights apart, I discovered that each taillight is separated […]
The originally 5W small bulb used for side lights (1st stage of the lighting switch) was replaced by LED(s). This simple mod was revised several times so far. The first version was poorly made by a single 5mm white LED and a resistor inside the bulb holder’s base. The next version was based on the […]
I got kinda bored of the standard green-ish A/C controls found on most Japanese cars produced in 90’s. So one day I decided to give it a try and make something different. Make my Glanza a bit unique 🙂 After several attempts I decided lighting up the controls using orange LEDs (like the dash’s dials), […]
