    Huh. I didn't even realize there was a light bulb there. Driving at night I just have to guess or feel where the shifter is. Probably should replace it now.

    The LED bulb made a huge difference. I wouldn't bother with the Toyota bulb.

    HA! Get a bulb in there and you'll turn that 1st gen into a luxury vehicle for just a couple of bucks.

    Mine are not, just on or off with the headlights. The difference between this and the Sylvania halogen bulb was immense. I can see this light during the day, and the halogen, no way - only in the dark.
