    IMG_0220.jpg Thanks so much bulb 2723 worked great. I ended up getting a pair at advance auto for $4.99+tax, wal-mart did not have that bulb. They had bulb 74 which is close, but others say it just pops back out so I didn't chance it. Thanks again.

    Bump for 1st gen instructions.

    I did this today, its basically about 10 minutes

    1) Swing back armrest, open little door for lower storage, remove 2 bolts.

    Armrest.jpg

    2) Loosen 4 screw head bolts (2/side) from sides of AT shroud.

    AT panel.jpg

    3) Lift up AT shroud rotate 90 degrees and remove. During this it will be necessary to lift up the front of back panel that goes to the armrest (where the rearmost 2 screws to). Just lift it up 20 degrees to do what you need.

    4) Unscrew the illumination bulb. Hint, its the one with red on the wire underneath. I think it loosens clockwise and tightens counter, you can figure it out, you have the technology.

    5) remove bulb and insert LED. Turn on headlights, if it doesnt light up, remove LED, rotate 180 degrees and reinstall. I had to do that. I was using a shop towel/paper towel the entire time when holding LED to avoid finger oils.

    6) Secure light, and reverse above steps.

    For my 1st gen, the LED used was a type 74. I ordered from SuperbrightLEDs and it is listed as
    74-GHP3 Volts 10-16V Viewangle 360.

    Thanks for the tutorial. I just completed this fix, and used bulb 2721. I was able to reuse my green condom, too!

    Does anyone know what the equivalent of the 2003 Toyota Tacoma shift indicator bulb Toyota Part # 90981-11018 is? I am hoping to buy this at Walmart or some place without having to buy the dealer specific part. Thanks.

    Do a search on Ebay for "74 led blue" and you will find a bunch.
