Josh Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 It would appear that I have a bulb out on my dashboard. How easy is this to replace? Seems to be the A/C, face and face and feet buttons that aren't lit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo2810 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 get some LEDs off ebay, you have a red car so go red dash too be warned tho it is very addictive That involves soldering and fiddling. I wish the AC was a simple swap for T5/10's like the dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 That involves soldering and fiddling. I wish the AC was a simple swap for T5/10's like the dials. Ah ok, that's what I want to hear. Tbh, I'd like to keep it at stock as possible so will just grab a stock bulb. Thanks though, Steveo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 What is the bulb size/part number please as a few of mine have gone like yours You can get them from toyota (part number 84999-70009), you'll need to take the control unit out, and remove the back of it to get to the bulbs. Follow the first 9 steps my guide... http://www.internetwork.org.uk/kit_i...structions.htm Part number and guide courtesy of Heckler.

Actually, this is probably a loose connection inside, as I find it highly unlikely that they would all go either simultaneously or at random. How many have you got, I would like to pay for them should they be needed. Sorry for thread hijack Josh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straightsix Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 If you take the old bulb out of the holder (it is possible - i've done it) you can get some bulbs of an appropriate size from Maplin. They have long tails so you just poke them through the holes in the plastic holder and then wrap the tails around a couple of times. If you try it I'm sure you'll figure it out!
