    Too few to list.
    The dash lights is worth the hassle to replace though it did not take 15 minutes as someone stated above. I couldn't get the cluster bezel out as the side vent was hanging on it and I didn't want to force it and break it. After a lot of wiggling, it came out and out came the cluster. There was a write up on how to take everything apart at some other site that includes taking out or loosening the steering wheel. Not needed. If you do decide to change your cluster light, make sure it works before putting everything back.

    How is it mounted there? I want to put one in the same spot but don't see how I can mount it besides just wedging it in there.

    That's how mine is mounted also, but I'm getting ready to change it up because I need to add a few more switches. And I'm also going with a different style switch.

    Yup.:)

    We're not supposed to talk about reputation points because they're basically cool kid points and people get butthurt over them especially when someone sends you negative repution points (which is actually only neutral becasue of past butthurt...).:)

    As an example, I shall send you some positive reputation right now. :) Send me some in return, :) (using the little scale icon at the bottome left of this post) and we shall make ourselves king's of tacomaworld in no time :) via trade. :)

    Mods :) love that kind of stuff... :):):)
