Hey guys new here...i work for a toyota dealer and am trying to assist a customer. Their odometer bulb has burnt out and our parts department has no listing for the bulb thats back there (cant even replace the unit as its discontinued) i have access to the bulb just not sure what bulb it is. Does anybody have a part number for this or at least know what the bulb type is so i can tell the customer to grab one from an autoparts store for me to install?

Hey my Odometer bulb is out too. Is there anyway you can post a tutorial (maybe with pics?) on how to access to the bulb?

Im not sure bulb type/size either

Thanks

Can you guys send me your VINs so I know what I'd be working on. On some models I see where you can get bulbs, but I need to know what year, if it is XL or XLS, etc.

I'll do my best when I get the information.

i unfortunately do not have the car anymore the customer took it i just need to figure out the bulb for next week so they can come back. As for getting the bulb out of the unit its a matter of unclipping the unit into its individual components however i took the easy route and with a cut off wheel i made my own access panel into the back of the unit since the circuit board is a good 1 inch below the housing.

dont have the vin however looking at the parts diagram i had they had two bulbs listed in that area they were listed as the same number one was with a subtitle of "type B" which still isnt correct as we ordered one just to make sure.
