Illuminated Key Ignition Barrel 00 Camry - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey Guys,

Recently the light on my ignition barrel just gave out. I wanted to know if anybody here knew how to change it? Or if there are any threads/stickies on how to do this? If you could direct me towards them it would great!

Also, I wanted to change the original light of greenish color to a blue color ... can anybody let me know if that is actually possible and if so, where can i get the bulbs for it? or is this something I would I have to ask my dealership to do?

Thanks,

Karman

You can get bulbs for it. I have no idea what size those ignition bulbs would be. But it you wanted to make all your lights orange, just take off the green plastic covers.

As for how to remove the shroud, I was wondering that myself. Haha.

hmm...i was wondering to go along with a blue theme inside my car, since my new deck is blue....would that be possible you think?

Yes.

You can find blue light bulbs, you just have to remove the old ones and replace them with colored ones. Or you can buy "condoms" that are colored pieces of plastic that slip over the light bulb.

Stock camry's have green condoms on the light bulbs in the dash, radio, etc.

the Gen 3 ignition light is a #74 bulb. I do not know if yours is the same though. But yes, they are changeable.

Might be a bulb, might be a loose connection. I found mine was just a loose connection.

Haha "condoms", but there was a DIY on how to replace that bulb some place. I am pretty sure they used the same bulb.

I got the blue light theme in my car. You can go to superbrightleds.com and get replacement lights. I'll try to post some pics in a little while.

you have to remove the panel under the steering wheel to get to the bulb...i'd recommend that you remove your drivers seat to give you more room to work in.
