Thanks for posting this video! I found a quicker/easier way to replace these little bulbs at least for my 2010 Corolla. I started off my removing the ashtray, then the part where it has the aux and clock, and then removing the entire dash lamp/controls itself. I then followed your steps of how to remove it individually, BUT I found out that detaching the 2nd white part of the control is unnecessary. Just flip the control upside down and use a small flathead to unscrew the bulb and then insert your new bulb and use the flathead to screw in the bulb until it’s tight. And this applies to the other 2 controls, remove it individually and just flip it upside down to unscrew the bulb with a small flathead. This saves SO much time. I ordered the 3 new light bulbs from a Toyota Dealership & the total was less than $16. It looks great!! Yay.
100 % easier. I had to replace the middle dial and the bulbs were all blown. This was much easier for me to just flip the whole part over and replace. Thank you!
1:17 Save yourself all the hazzle. Remove just the cables. Once you got the entire assembly out, turn it over and grab a flat screwdriver. There is a white part where you can put a screwdriver and unscrew, exactly in the middle of the back of the knobs (you can see it, when you replace the bulb, at 3:47). Replace the bulbs, connect all the cables, replace assembly
This is a T4 bulb, I changed it to the LED one which is brighter. But I don't dismantle the whole front part of the knot to change it. I approach from the back where there is a opening. Just use a thin long legs plier to grab the back of the bulb, turn and pull. Much easier
I have bulbs burned out on my 2013 and I tried to fix it, nothing but frustration. I bought the wrong bulbs, so that didn't help anything, and in the process of disassembling the center knob I broke it so now it doesn't have stops at each number. I can't believe they made this thing so damn complicated to fix a simple little light bulb.
@@SevenFortyOne I just bought a whole climate control assembly (all 3 knobs and the faceplate) from an Ebay parts store. It didn't cost me that much more than it would have to buy 3 new bulbs, and it will be a whole lot easier just replacing the whole assembly. Great video though, I'll definitely pull it up again when I need to separate the front end from those rear pieces on the old one then re-install the new one.
@@SevenFortyOne sO FAR SO GOOD, FEELING BETTER EVERYDAY. Oops lol, I just bought the Alinco DR 638 , seeing its fcc part 90 I can use it on the Auxnet but first I need to mod, however I can't find the tx mod so far. I meant with the CT radio coordinator today and he wants me to take over his position. hmm!!! Right now my first priority is the tx mod for the 638
@@SevenFortyOne lol, thanks, I need to think about it, I have a lot on my plate with Capt of Fire Police, Safety training instructor, USCGA, Navigation instructor, ....... You know how it is. If you see the tx mod for the 638 let me know, so far no luck, there is 1 vid on YT where he said cut the blue wire jumper and thats it, well there isn't a blue wire jumper, there's no wire jumpers. :(
The dial knob got out of position and so it took about 5 tries to get it right. Overall 1.5 hrs. Both the back ring gear side and the dial knob have hard stops, which you'd find if you can't get full travel. So do yourself a favor a rotate everything one way to begin. The snap fits were poorly located and toleranced and the assembly was not designed for ease, so expect a lot more hassle than is shown.
For anyone about to do this project, to avoid this issue, just hit the 3 pieces with a sharpie line through all 3, so you can make sure all the piece are lined up correctly for reassembly.
How do you change the light for the outer switch? There’s a different bulb that illuminates that part of switch. The bulb you used only illuminates the middle button.
I just found out the bulbs you put it in your description that’s not the correct on because you need the bottom cap with this one too ... one you put it on the description that just the bulb not the bottom part I would recommend buy it from the dealer will be best option I order from amazon the link you provided that bulb fits but need it the bottom part to hold it ... tomorrow I am going to buy it from dealer tomorrow .... actual current part number for this pacific is Part Number: 9001001122 Supersession(s): 90010-01122 AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL; HEATER CONTROL. Fits Corolla (2009 - 2013)
i jus changed the shift gear light and im going to do this next..i have to do it cuz i paid a place to do it for me before...and now the lights went out again. i definitly got robbed since this is so easy
Have you ever changed the gearshift bulb on a Toyota Auris? I'm just not sure whether the flat surface pops straight up & out, or you have to pop out the side trims first?? I just don't wanna damage any of my trim. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim
It's not available on Amazon any more so the link disappeared. I don't have a part number but if you read the comments someone posted a part number to a bulb that should work but you'll need to reuse your socket
