    Hey guys,

    I bought a 2021 Taco recently but can’t seem to find a way to turn this light off in my truck as I don’t know what it is called. Please see attached picture.

    the lit buttons aren’t for that light. B9083495-A29F-4691-8CE2-249A39F78747.jpg

    I put a small piece of tint on mine, cut it back by about 75%, that light is stupid bright. There’s no way to turn it off or down as far as I know.

    There is a plug. It’s under the shifter.

    Place a one inch length of black electrical tape over half of the light. Works great and easy to adjust if you want more or less light.

    Blue Painters Tape.
    Trace a Nickel on the tape, cut it out with scissors, stick it over the stupid-bright light - fixed.
    If you still want it dimmer, then repeat the process with a second layer of blue tape.
    A cheap fix that is also easily reversible if need be.

    Caribe....Thank you. I’ve never had anything inside ripped apart. Can I just pull up on the head unit to remove ?

    Thank you !!
