Replacing dash back lights

I have several dash back lights out on a 2000 ( rear defrost, ect, passenger and security) as well as one window control light in each door. How big of an ordeal is it to replace these? Would I find the info in the repair manual, if so, does anyone know of a link to it somewhere.

It's really easy. Follow the CD player install to get off the front piece, and they are the little round brown/green/black deals with a slot in them for a screwdriver. The lights are costly...but well worth it.

Thanks. Where exactly would I find the cd player install, is this in the repair manual or can I find it elsewhere? I know Crutchfield etc. send you one if you buy something, but I have already had the stereo replaced. Can I get the lights at AutoZone, etc. or will I need to order them from a Toyota parts dept.?

You don't need to unscrew your 4WD knob, if its like mine, and you have a 4WD push button, you can't unscrew it. You can actually just unsnap the black boot from the console. Its like a ring that snaps into the hooks....just squeeze the boot towards the shaft, and you'll see how it unhooks. Just don't pull up or down on it.
