Rare Dash Lights??? Pics

Well First the dash lights are out In my A/C, ECT, Rear Defog, and Rear Window Buttons. I removed the dash panel and all the buttons and took the lights out and tried to find them at both dealers in my area....both have never seen them and tried to tell me I had to buy a whole new A/C Button and Panel that houses the rest of the lights.

Im wondering has ANYONE seen or know where to find these bulbs or a panel.

The first is the panel that works the ECT, RD, and RW.



These are the three lights: 1st is the light out of the A/C button, 2nd is the rear window, 3rd is the ECT and RD which did have a green cap on it.

No, they are available. Search on here, because people have changed all their interior lights to LED. The LED's fit with no modification. You should be able to find the thread, it'll give you the part numbers and places to get the bulbs. Goodluck!

These are common bulbs for Toyotas and Hondas. The parts guys at the dealer must have been having a bad day. I have heard the bulbs referred to as "neo wedge" by Honda guys.

You can source these on line at http://autolumination.com

Specifically under their heading for "37 74 Gauge & Instrument Panel & Neo-Wedge Bulbs" found here.

Save the old bulbs because you will probably need to switch the bulb covers over to keep your dash lighting up the same color.

These two posts may have some useful information:

The window switch lights are weird... I have no idea about them, I couldn't figure it out. As for the gauge lighting, different years have different sized bulbs, I know the 02 takes three 194's as for the 99.. I'm not sure?

You could modify the LED neo-wedge bulb to fit in the long one. Just remove the LED and resistors from the one you get from autolumination. Lengthen the leads and replace the incandescent bulb from the truck with the new LED. (in the long base)
