dashboard light replacement

[specter692000]

Ok guys need a little help here last night i get in my 2000 echo and turn the lights on like normal. I notice that the light behind the fuel gauge is off so i kinda flick it (has worked in the past) but it didnt work. So my question is how in the world do you change the lights?

I think you'll need to get in there. The question is, do you want to wait until another bulb goes out so that you won't have to go back in a second or third time?

And quick question, it's just that bulb and not the entire dash which would mean a fuse?

yea just the bulb behind the fuel gauge

[specter692000]

i'll check the fuses but not sure since it is just that light

i just need to know which way is the fastest taking off the front panel where the clock, vents and heat/ac controls are or is their some other way.

Just pry off the small panel on top of the gauge cluster, and pull up and out. Then disconnect harness and you have access. It would be easier if you buy some bulbs from the dealer first.

ok ordered the bulbs from the dealer but what i would like to know is there any LED lights on the market that would work as well in the dash?

Does anyone know the Toyota Part # for the original OEM bulbs?
