Light on top of mirror - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys had a quick question. The middle light near the sunglass holder is not coming on. Correct me if im wrong but there is a light there right? I am talking about in between the two parts where you can click for the light to come on. My car is a week old so it shouldnt be broken. Please advise. Thanks.

are the map lights next to it working? if not, check fuses. bulb could have blown. take the cover off and check...theres a DIY on how to remove cover. one of my map lights stop working. bulb was fine. took it to the dealer and they replaced the whole part because some thing burn then melted in there

To better explain.

Can I bring this issue to the dealer to fix?

JACK_FROST · 02-20-2009, 01:21 PM

check the bulb first....youre gunna take the car into the dealer if its 1 blown bulb??? they will look at you crazy. its like getting an electrician to replace a blown bulb in your bathroom...

im not going to take it to the dealer. i was trying to find out if it was their job to do it or if its something i should do. i wanted to make sure there was indeed a light there and it wasnt there for show haha. im getting leds for the entire interior so ill replace it when they come in.

there should be a switch infront of it , that will say either door, on, off. Play around with that switch. If no dice just go to the dealer it will get fixed.

Sean89 · 02-20-2009, 01:47 PM

I dont see any switches near it that say door or off. Only the one in the middle of the roof towards the back. I dont have a moonroof if that makes a difference.

JACK_FROST · 02-20-2009, 01:49 PM

ok then. cancel everything i just said.....

CamrySExxx · 02-20-2009, 02:39 PM

me too. lol

No moonroof means no middle light.

Trade it in and get the moonroof.

what a rip. ugh. i couldnt afford the moonroof one. the base was a stretch for me. is there a way to add that light somehow?

***bandit*** · 02-20-2009, 02:58 PM

Yes, its suppose to light up

Take the bulbs out from the map lights and plug it into the center. If it works, than its the bulb. If it doesnt, check a fuse or something. If no source, go to dealer. There is a DIY on how to remove the plastic covers on the forum.

*EDIT*

NEVERMIND! Didnt see that you wrote that you have no moonroof. I have moonroof on mine.

Sean89 · 02-20-2009, 03:00 PM

what the heck you have mirror lights too!!?!? i swear i feel like i got jipped.

GT-R · 02-20-2009, 03:02 PM

Yup, we have more lights, and also the rear passenger lights are different, we have the airplane style.
