    I need to find a replacement LED for the small bulb in the picture below. I am working on an engine swap and the engine ecu drives LEDs in its original vehicle, and will not light a typical bulb ( low voltage).

    The bulb w/ green cover is a 194, and I am guess the small bulb is a 74? It looks pretty close to the bulbs behind the heat/AC cover. The writing on the small bulb is "TSO" and what looks like it could be an A, or B, or R or maybe even an 8 followed by 0.

    Thanks for the link. It's shows a "general instrument cluster" as a 194, which I know is not what I'm looking for. However, it shows the glovebox light to be a 74. So, I pulled my glovebox light to compare, and they look identical. The glovebox light turned out to be blown, so I took the opportunity to replace it.

    I ordered a few of these..

    Now that we are talking about bulbs, and the bulb experts are here.

    Let's thread jack this for a hot minute.

    I have a few questions - This is what my ac controls look like:


    I didn't know that my bulbs are out.

    Per research, I have four bulbs that are out in the ac controls unit.

    Question is:

    Is there suppose to be bulbs in:

    Hazard light switch

    ECT button

    Rear defroster button

    Rear window button

    This is off my 3rd gen 4runner - figured 1st gen taquitos were the same..

    Just to follow up, the small bulbs that run the small lights along the sides and bottom of the instrument cluster are in fact 74 bulbs. SB LED make a retro fit bulb that fits pretty tight. They are in the link above.
