I actually just took mine apart today I need new bulbs but i was replacing the Cig lighter with a USB marine socket... That Cigarrete bulb is hard to remove a paper clip may help...

Bulb size should be a 74 also and I did a quick google search and came up with this Dorman part number... 639-004
. Try and verify before you buy!

 

I actually did remove the bulb by twisting hard and I found out the contacts are soldered so it's going to be hard just plugging a new one in and it's smaller than 74 size it's probably half the size

 

The light within the lighter would be the lighter of the lighter...lighterception lol

 

Toyota: Yo dawg I heard you like lights so we added a light in your lighter so you can have light while you light up

I think that's it

 

That looks identical to the one I pulled out except for a blue bulb cover instead of green, I'm considering buying that if it came in the stock blue

 

It looks to be a grain of wheat bulb. You'll either have to buy the OEM part or attach a new loose grain of wheat bulb yourself.

 

I don't remember mine being special. I got the bulb from the dealer. The problem was the defroster and hazard lights, which I am still in the process of changing.

 

I've heard of that being done, heck must be a mission! Do you have it detailed anywhere?

When I tried to change it a few years ago with all the other dash bulbs I couldn't figure out how to get the bulbs out. Rather than guess wrong, I decided to put it off. I haven't seen any writeups, but if there is one I'd sure like to see it. They're the only lights out on my dash.

The dealers will only sell you the entire switch assembly.

 

I'm probably just going to buy the whole assembly together but will it make a difference having the green cover over the blue one that came stock?

Another thing by any chance does anyone know the part number or where I can find the rubber blue cover that goes over the HVAC 74 sized bulb? The condom ripped...:frown:

 

I've gotten them out of cars in the junkyard. Of course they're old and might burn out soon, so grab a handful! OEM radios are a good place to find a bunch of them...

 

I wouldn't do that unless necessary, the assembly is ~$100. I don't know the part # for the condom, but you might be able to grab one from a junkyard.

 

I meant the little socket that clips onto the plug to light up the socket sorry for my poor choice of words lol

 

Some of those "Grain of Wheat" bulbs do pull out of their sockets. Not all of them are soldered in.
I'm pretty sure you can just stick a socket with a removable bulb in place of one which has a non-removable bulb.

 

I'm having the same issue not being able to find the right bulbs but the cigarette lighter one I broke inside of the connection pulled out the connection and now I can't get a bowl to go back in any thoughts

 

Old thread. Please start a new one.
