Dash and Shifter bulb replacement

How many have you done this on a first gen auto (2003 Tacoma Double Cab)?

It looks like I have one bulb failing on the gauge cluster (left side of the speedometer) and the shifter light has been off (maybe there isn't a light?) since I bought it.

 

^^ Same thing happening to mine! Can you give some steps, or tips to change them out? Also what bulbs are you using?

Here's a video by timmy the toolman who is a member here on the site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4EVITIgA3Q&t=632s

He makes some good videos on standard toyota maintenance.

 

I've also seen this video and it's a good guide. I need to replace mine soon again, not sure on what color to go with. I like the red or orange because it doesn't strain your eyes at night, the only time the dash lights matter.

 

I got the cool white hope there not to bright .

 

Yeap they look sharp for sure . Ima look at the 882s with billis i wont have any extra weight in the front anyways .

 

The sylvania 194's are among the best led's and available locally.

They also provide 180° light, so no dim spots like the ones with a single diode on each side of the "bulb".

 

It does look pretty good. Is the backlight on your odometer washing out the reading? Can't see the mileage.

Have you replaced the instrument control lights (a/c, heater, etc)? Which lights/what color did you go with there? I have one of those out too.

 

guys, c'mon really? read the post with people who have changed their lights. plenty of pictures of colors too

but since you're lazy, @Wju pic is just with lights on, not with key "on"

these are not this bright, it's just the way the light is captured by my camera

 

You could have posted a link to said thread, but you didn't. Why is that, I wonder?
