2003 Dash lights

Im kinda new to my Tacoma it’s a 2002 are the lights on the Rpm normally dimmer after around 5k rpm

 

looking for a thread on how to change the lights on the AC knobs. Only the left most knob has gone out!

 

I have a 2002 Tacoma extra cab four-wheel-drive four-cylinder, all of the dash lights went out at the exact same time, and so did my parking lights, after tracing the problem it turns out to be a 10 amp fuse marked tail lights in the fuse box underneath your hood.

 

I found this video that looks to be pretty comprehensive of both dash and air lights. best of luck. It is on my list of items to do for my truck.

Just bought the bulbs and hoping to knock this out today or tomorrow!

 

Simple to do - doesn’t take long - hardest part is remembering which screw type goes where.

Glad to have this completed!

 

2004 TRD 4x4 taco, bought new.
Just did my dash cluster for the second time. This time I went blue. Super bright leds, I love it. I took my time, hope they last. I replaced ALL the 74's & 4 194's.

Couple things & pointers/tips.
My truck had orange bulb condoms on the 4 larger (main) cluster bulbs only. The entire cluster otherwise had clear bulbs. That means the ORANGE film for the check engine, overdrive & washer bottle is built in the cluster. I did NOT need any colored bulbs, if I wanted stock appearance.

Take your time pulling apart the black dash pieces.
When removing the bulb housings from instrument cluster...remove the part you twist out gently. The circuit board & film on the cluster housing is thin. You will see that when turning & removing bulb housings. Take it easy!!!

If you use di-electric grease, lube the wires on NEW bulbs, DONT TOUCH THE GLASS PART.

Watch videos & take your time. Make it count! If your younger, the jobs not that bad. For me, at 58, it's like playing Twister in a phone booth.
