USA Replacing A/C dial lights, Please Help!!

Hey guys new member here as of today!

So this is my very first post here. Basically what I'm trying to do is make as many of the interior cluster and bezel/buttons light up blue. What I have done already are my gauge cluster is all blue and I recently changed my a/c, rec air and defogger buttons to blue via LEDs.

The next step I wanna take is to change the lights that light up behind the a/c control dials (all 3) to blue LED. I've done some tinkering around to find out that there are a total of 2 lights back there, but unfortunately while trying to take them out I broke both of them.

My question is: Does anyone know exactly what bulb type those lights are back there?? After taking a look at a picture someone sent me, they look like a kind of neo-wedge bulb (which are the same kind of bulbs the a/c buttons took) I just don't know what size (8mm, 10mm, or 12mm) Also does anyone know exactly how to get back there and PROPERLY remove and replace these lights?


I know that was a lot, any help would greatly be appreciated

Just in case no one is able to provide you with the information you need regarding the bulbs, there is always the subscription-based option of using TIS (Toyota Technical Information System) to solve the problem. Just an option.

Ok cool, so how does this subscription option work?

You can subscribe for 2 days, monthly, or yearly. Click on the "Subscribe" button at the top of the page (if I remember) and that will provide more details about the subscriptions.

Oh ok, well since its a subscription based it will probably be a last resort but thanks a lot for the tip!
