    Put a CD player in my 2000 Tacoma and my dash lights don't work now. I have everything apart right now and just want some dash lights. Thanks

    Check all the fuses? Both under the dash and in the engine compartment?

    i just did a radio swap in my 99 and i might have blown one of the climate control bulbs in the process. are you replacing the actual bulbs with led bulbs? i dont know how i managed to pop a bulb just changing out a headunit. also, my airbag light now comes on WTF. im currently resetting the battery to see if that gets rid of the airbag light.

    Airbag lights take time to be reset manually. Time and miles. I forget actual number of miles.

    Or the dealer can reset it.

    dealer is not the only one who can touch it. HOWEVER, they are the easiest to find, and easiest to get reamed in the ass by. Look around for a toyo shop, call ahead, see if they can read and reset odbII computer codes. chances are if you do the work they will try and charge you a diag fee, fair enough i suppose as the reader is not super cheap.
