I just today changed out my dash bulbs (gauges) for brighter xenon ones, and it's really quite amazing! But it looks tacky having my dash bright and my climate controls dim, how do you get to the bulbs back there? There seems to be too many vents and tubes in the way. Thanks!

Remove the rim around the radio and climate controls then you'll see 4 screws (I think) holding the climate control cover, remove those then remove the knobs on the climate control levers, when you take the cover off, you'll see a piece of transparent plastic and the bulb sits right on the middle. I can't remember if it was a peanut bulb or not, it might be smaller.

Got it! I have the bulb out too but it's WAY smaller than the 194's I put in the gauge cluster, does anyone have an idea as to what type of bulb it is? It's peanut style like a 194 but a lot smaller...

I can't remember what size it was but I got mine at an auto parts store.

I had to get mine from Toyota, was about 1.30 each without the little sleeve.

Tried the autoparts store but they didn't have anything the right size.
