Gen 3 Instrument Panel light/colour change?

[Vixen]

Hi All,

I've been searching for ages for info on what light bulbs (& how many) are behind the instrument panel in a Gen 3 Camry.

Every thread that I find on this topic gives you the details of what bulbs you need to change the guage lights (4 x T10's & 1 x T5), but no-one gives any info on the ones behind the a/c, demister, hazard lights, cigarette lighter etc.

Can anyone help me out here? I really would like to know what I need before i go ahead & pull the dash apart - I know it's going to be a reasonably big job & only want to have to do this once. Besides, I want to replace them with LED's & that means I'll have to order them anyway.

Cheers!

Cig lighter is Toyota ONLY. It's part of the socket.

The HVAC unit backlight's are odd ones. They look like this:

They're odd alright! Are they LED's? I've never seen lights like that before!

^ Those in the pics are LED's. The OEM ones are normal bulbs, BUT have the same base.

My HVAC unit has 2 of those, and 1 #74 bulbs.

if you buy the LED's from a shop with a similar base, you'll probably have to grind the hole a little bit bigger by like 0.5mm.

those OEM bulbs are expensive! toyota wants $3.30 each for them. damn climate control displays!
