Hi there, I'm a new member, so yeah, Hello.

So, my parents just bought an xA RS2.0 Automatic, and I noticed that it came with Blue LED illumination, but only under the cupholders. Is this how it's supposed to be, because I was under the impression that it was also underneath by the pedal area in the driver and passenger seats.

So, am I crazy, or should I give the dealer a call to see what's up?

 

I think you should give them a call. Site says it comes with the pedal area illumination.

 

The car my dealer has to test-drive was an RS02, and when I asked about the LEDs, the guy said they were on the floor.

I wasn't looking in the pedal area, so I didn't see them, but it was pretty bright out so I doubt I could have seen them anyway.

 

You can clearly see it on the scion website.

 

The LED tubes are under the front edge of the dash on both the driver and passenger side. Push button once and the cup holder lights. Push button twice and the cup and under dash lights up. Push button third time and they light up under the dash only. And pushing the button a forth time turns them all off.

What Mike said.

Now if I only can figure out how much it would cost to do the same lighting under the front seats for the back passengers, that would be cool. Doesn't the factory LED lighting have provisions for extra tubes under the front seats?

 

So, I guess I was right. Unless I'm blind there are no ther LED's aside from the cupholders, even when I hit the illumination button multiple times. I'll have to call the dealer on Monday

Anyhoo, I have #1132.

 

UPDATE: We went to the dealer, and they put in the LED kit for free, and they put LED's underneath the front two seats so, there's blue lights for whoever sits in the back.

(I dunno if that's part of the kit, or they were just being nice)

But at least now it's all in there, and I'm happy.

 

Yeah, it should have had floor lighting front and rear....mine has it. Guess what though, the port idiots forgot the cupholder lighting on mine, however the dealer is making it up to me another way.

Maybe you got the rear lighting instead of the cupholders, my RS2 only has cupholders and front-floor lighting, none under the driver & passenger seats

 

I think they screwed yours up as well. They are suposed to have ALL of the lighting including under the seats. You should tell this to the dealer. If you think they are being untruthful, call scion customer service.

I don't see that info any where, and all the pics on the scion.com site, in the brochure and in the Scion Winter/Spring 05 (all the pics that I can find) only show the LEDs under the dash and in the cup holders

Hmm, in fact, on patge 3 of the Winter/Spring 05 book, it refers to it as "LED under dash lighting". I don't see anything that indicates they should be under the driver & passenger seats.

Are you sure they didn't put something extra in yours? Do you know of anyplace that indicates there should be lighting under the driver & passenger seats?

 

I'm just going by what the dealer told me. The Scion site says "interior blue lighting kit w/cupholder illumination" it doesn't say under dash or anything like that.

Curious. I'll call my local dealer and tell him I have a Scion and I want to pay him to add the LED lighting kit but I want to know how many LED tubes there are and where they're placed. If the add-on kit has under-seat lights, I want them

 

Interesting... there seems to be issues with the LED lighting at the ports. I don't have lighting under my seats either. The option calls for them, and my old release series had them. I'm going to run this by the dealership tomorrow...

 

Hey man im a new member too. I just bought the rs 2.0 about 2 days ago and yeah its supposed to have the lights in the cup holder and under where the pedals are on both sides. So you should definantly say something

 

Any luck at your dealership, mate?

 

i went to my dealship and they said if i wanted it under the seats i would have to buy the entire kit for under dash and under seats and i couldnt buy them seprate

 

Hey man if you bought the 2005 Scion xA RS 2.0 then if you check scion.com it tells you that it comes with the ENTIRE light kit. They are seriously BSing you I bought the RS on the 25th of June I have number 1116 and i have the entire led kit and it was already in the car i didnt have to wait for it to be installed and it wasnt extra it was still at the base price of $14080. And that is false advertisement on their part. If you want if i were you i would print out the stuff that comes with that car and show it to them cause that is why it's base price is more than the regular xa.

 

It's true, you should get the entire kit. My dealer said as much and made up for the fact that I got screwed out of the lighting.
