- UPDATE: I've made a follow up video to this one, addressing the question of what type of light bulbs these are in the cluster. Follow this link to learn more!
• Follow Up to Tacoma In...
In this video I go through the steps of replacing burned out instrument cluster and climate control panel illumination light bulbs for a 2001 to 2004 Toyota Tacoma. This truck I'm demonstrating on is a 2003 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner 2WD with a 3.4 liter V6. The basic steps will also apply to most makes and models. There's a lot of dash trip parts that has to be removed to access the instrument panel, but the steps are basic and you can save a lot of money doing it yourself instead of paying high labor costs at the shop. Note: Always disconnect the battery before removing electrical connections to prevent any damage due to electrical shorts.

a tip: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Clay Moses Definitely, have been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
@Clay Moses Yup, been using flixzone for since december myself :)
@Clay Moses Yea, I've been watching on flixzone for since december myself =)
Thank You Mike! Just changed out dash instrument back lights (all 4) on my 02. What a pain just to change bulbs! So many parts to take off first! Could not have done it without your video!!! Thanks Again!!!
Six years later and still helping someone new! Thank you!
Thank you. Officially called HVAC temperature control bulb. Toyota Part #90010-05120. They were available through Advance Auto as well as dealership. ~$11. This video was fantastic.
UPDATE- My local Advance does not stock them now. They can special order, but they are almost $12.00. My local dealer sells them for $8.31. Cheers
Excellent video, I just changed the bulbs on my girlfriend truck. Two of the four where burnt, so just decided change all of them since it was taken apart already. Your step by step tutorial was on point. Thank you...
Thanks for watching and commenting! I’m glad it helped
My father and I followed your video today to replace the dash lights in my '01 Tacoma. Worked like a charm! Thanks for saving us a ton of money. :)
I know its been 8 years but Thank You for the video!
Great Video Mike!!! It is a shame that Toyota has to make something that should be so simple so complicated... You are a man of skill and patience. Anyone who owns a Toyota Tacoma can really appreciate this video. Thanks again. Kurt Estilow
Lol Chevy is worse
Yea cause the vehicle won't pass inspection if the engine check light is burned out and the an auto shop will probably charge you $300 to do that simple yet somewhat challenging job.
With so many poor repair videos on RUclips, it was great finding this video. Thanks so much for making it.
Just wanted to drop in to say THANK YOU! 3 out of the 4 dash lights were out and one out of three climate control lights were out in my 2002 Toyota Tacoma. I was DREADING doing the repair, but your step by step video saved the day! You, Sir, are THE MAN!
Well done sir. How calm and easy going you go about it takes me back to my service in the Air Force rebuilding jet engines with you southern boys. Some of the best mechanics I ever met. Makes me wish I could go back.
Good video. I just replaced a bulb on my 2004 Tacoma - no issues - it was exactly as you described on the video. FYI - you can buy replacement bulbs at your local auto parts store. A Sylvania 194 LongLife Mini Bulb, Pack of 2 is around $5
Mike Brooks do u know what the green gear shaped light means on a 2014 toyota tacoma
Magnificent video. So many of these videos on instrument lamp replacement do not really show how every screw and clip comes out, and in what order, and that is the most frustrating part of this job. THANK YOU.
Honestly one of the most detailed and helpful maintenance videos I've come across. Thanks for the help brother!
This instructional video saved me so much money! Thank you so much for all the details. I couldn't get my truck emissions tested in Idaho because the check engine light would not illuminate. I bought new bulbs and watched this step be step video and SUCCESS! 🤗
Sir, you and your video have given me the confidence to do this job myself - one of my HVAC bulbs and one my instrument cluster bulbs have burned out. Well done!
Thank you so much for making this video! I drive a 2003 first gen. truck. I own a Haynes repair manual... but, unless I read it wrong, the book is telling me that I need to take the steering wheel off, to be able to get to that instrument panel! I was about to start taking it off, but then found your video.
I just need to replace a couple of those tiny bulbs there. Taking the steering wheel is a pain... Plus, comes with a bit of a risk of getting hit in the face with that airbag, lol!
Thank you again, was super helpful.
Glad it helped. Sometimes repair procedures have you really doing more work than necessary. That’s engineers for you.
Thank you, Michael!!! My son and I replaced 13 bulbs in his Tacoma...impossible to figure out how to access all of the attachment points without your video. Excellent!
Gréât video - thanks! Just replaced all four amber instrument lights in my 2004. Excellent instruction turning a complex puzzle into a relatively straight forward task.
Can this be accomplished without the right hand a/c panels being removed?
I foolishly spent 30 minutes trying to get the screws out that attach the ashtray to the radio assembly, only realized when i popped off the trim shroud that it wasn't necessary, i shoulda paid closer attention to the video. This is a great guide, i recommend testing the bulbs to make sure they work before reassembling completely
Just finished doing this job. It was easy thanks to this video. You must get your bulbs from the dealer and they may have to order them. Thanks again for making this video.
The light behind my fuel gauge went out this morning on my 2002 Tacoma. So glad I found this video. Thanks so much for making this video for everyone.
What a great video. You give detailed instructions, without making the viewer sit through the removal of each and every screw. This is very helpful. Thank you for sharing it with us, and my best to you.
This is my 2nd viewing. I am very impressed with your ability to narrate each step without wasting time. You have obviously been born with a gift. Thanks again Mike. Now I need to do mine. I just got a 2004 Tacoma and I am doing about 20 different things it needs. But it is a solid truck so all will be good.
****I only have one dead light on the dash. The large one on the far right. The other bulbs are fine. Wish I could reach that one bulb without all of the dismantling. It is not a hard job following your steps though.
Great video. I already did a chunk of that work when I put in a Sony stereo years ago. Too bad the bulb wasn't out then. Funny that it is also the one you replaced. Thanks
This video was extremely helpful... just wanted to say "thanks!" for making/uploading it. I changed my bulbs out in my 2004 Pre-Runner last night and your video was all I referenced to do it.
Video was easy to follow and made my time replacing bulbs straight forward and without issue. Thank you for fully explaining the steps.
Fantastic job on this DIY! I like how you showed the part numbers for the new bulbs too. I had been looking for these everywhere. That truck is super clean as well. Very nice and thanks for the clear and accurate video.
Excellent video. I'm not a mechanic, but with the help of this video I'm able to replace the instrument panel lamps in my 03 Tacoma. Thanks for sharing.
+Milton Rayford you’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
Best video on You Tube man. I've got that same problem I never would have figured out how to take that apart on my own
Thanks Mike, I just bought a 2001 Tacoma and needed to replace a dash bulb, and your video showed me exactly what to do, and everything worked out great. Thanks Mike!
Great video Mike. This also helps with stereo removal. Wish you lived near by so I could hire you for the job! Once it warms up here in Minneapolis I plan to do the same swap on my 2002. Thanks bud.
Awesome video, excellent instructional pace, no gaps, continuity throughout. You dubmy-proofed this repair succinctly. Dealer better hope you don’t sponsored, they’ll be losing a lot of business in the service dept.
Changing the cluster bulbs today in my 2003 Toyota Tacoma and I hope I don't lose any screws haha Thanks for the help.
Excellent video Mike! I changed out all the bulbs in the instrument panel in my 03 Tacoma. I didn’t want some of the not burned out bulbs failing in a couple of months. One thing I noticed was that there was an orange rubber sleeve that slid over a couple of the bulbs. All the original bulbs were clear. I took the sleeves off and put them on two of the new ones I got. Now the panel looks exactly as before. Thanks!
Great video Mike! Thank you for the detailed explanation and tips. I had no idea where to even start to replace one of the cluster lights on my brother in law's truck, but got amazingly lucky by finding your video! Thanks again!
Best video on this subject! Glad I watched it before I replaced my burnt out bulbs. I’m sure it saved me from breaking things! Thanks
Bought my 2003 Tacoma Double-Cab brand new and its finally time to replace some dash bulbs. Great video! Thanks....
Excellent video Mike,
Great step by step directions, best video I’ve seen on replacing dash light bulbs. Appreciate all your hard work.
Thank you
Great Video! Now that I see how much work goes into replacing a bulb, I think I will just hold off on replacing just the one bulb I currently have burned out, and wait till more go out! But will definitely come back to re-watch this video at that time!
ICUinthedark It is always a good idea to replace ALL the bulbs at the same time and test everything before you re-assemble it. There is always the possibility of even a new one being bad or blowing out quickly.
A perfect instructional video! This should make a fun project for the weekend.
Thanks. After watching this video, I replaced a bulb on my instrument panel in my 02 Tacoma.
You're welcome glad my video could help you out. Thanks for stopping by!
Just completed changing my bulbs. Your video made it an easy job! Many thanks😁
Tanks for the tutorial man. It's quite thorough!
THANK YOU for taking the time and effort to do this! My climate control panel light went out recently and now I know how to replace it thanks to your video.
VERY good video and almost the same lights burned out on my truck. you make this look very easy however i think it is above my skill level.
Thanks, Mike. Glad to have this roadmap resource for electronic disassembly on my truck.
Great video. Now I know the steps I need to take to do mine. Thinking about leaving the bulb covers as I liked how it looked in your video. Thanks for taking the time to put the whole thing together. The link to aftermarket bulbs is a great bonus. Thanks again for putting this video together.
Good clear tutorial. I will be referencing this video to replace some main gauge lights in my wifes Tacoma. Thanks much. Stay safe during this pandemic.
Thanks so much. This video was much better than other sources I looked at!
Thanks Michael. I now feel like I can manage taking mine apart, AND get it back together again!
+Terebrate you’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
