Hey everyone, check out the 5 year follow up video where I show how the light mod turned out: ruclips.net/video/t8tbXwEdi8g/видео.html Also check out my Twitter (@MrArtiePenguin) for more up to date info on videos and projects I'm working on. Thanks!
Dont listen to these comments bro.You are the most helpfull and intelligent person on 4runner DIY . I fully know how to take out the cluster thanks to you, and how to change bulbs, thanks to you. Quick n easy! Just listen w your brain ppl. Thumbs way up for this vid!
I replaced the larger dash bulbs with LEDs and they work great. The 74 bulbs for bright beam indicator and cruise control indicators LEDs do not work . Any ideas?
SonI got a 2002 4runner SR5 2wd. Does anyone know what dash bulbs I need for the speedo and tach? I also want to change out the HVAC control bulbs. Any idea what sizes I need?
I have a 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf it.looks like the identical dash instrument panel as yours which later on I'm going to the all the bulbs to Leds I know some of the leds would be T10 bulbs would that be correct & the smaller ones would they maybe be T5 Led bulb's would correct or would they be T4 Led Bulbs Kind Regards Peter from New Zealand & I will be getting these Led bulbs from AliExpress & the Led Bulbs are Very Reasonable Prices I look forward to your reply Thank You
Hey Peter, from what I've read the only 2 bulb types in the dash are #194 (larger one) and #74. I'm not sure if T10 and T5 are equivalent sizes or not but online I just see #194 and #74. Neo-wedge A and B were also mentioned for some buttons.
@@ArtiePenguin1 I actually thought they were T0 & T5 bulbs apparently they can't be as I have the high beam warning light has blown on me & I thought later on I would replace the all the bulbs with LEDs when I take the instrument dash panel out so apparently & I assumed they took T10 & T5 bulbs apparently I was was wrong they take other types of bulbs on my 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf it has the 3.4 V6 motor Kind Regards Peter
@@ArtiePenguin1 Hey thanks for that so they are 194 for larger bulbs & 74 for the 74 for the smaller bulbs my friend he thought the bulbs in the dash instrument panel were T10 & T5 bulbs but apparently not it's 194 & 74 bulbs I Thank You So Kindly Kind Regards Peter I will get these bulbs at a latter date but in leds Thanks Again Artiepenguin 1
@@ArtiePenguin1 can you get my a link to any of the bulbs in the dash, because i dont know what i need at all. Thanks and sorry for my english i know it's bad😁
Thank you for your feedback. Obviously this is a very old video of mine and I didn't have the best equipment back then nor the best technique. If you have a look at my newer videos, you'll see I've improved greatly. Again, thanks for watching.
Those should be number 74 bulbs as well. I'm not sure if the original bulbs have a colored latex cover on them or not. I'd just get LEDs that are the correct color for the gear lights instead of all white LEDs. Hope this helps!
@@ArtiePenguin1 ignore me, I was grumpy from being right in the middle of the job :) What was really irritating me was nothing I checked had a proper bulb type. You seemed to have the right bulbs. I had one of the big ones go out and I finally hand-fitted a 2721. All the rest had a too-skinny base so the socket wouldn't grab - even after tweaking the copper connections. Did the OEM bulb go obsolete?
replace with LED wtf I hate how everyone jumps on the led bandwagon. I like the part where you say "well the led don't really fit in all the way, it wiggles but shouldn't very a problem" wtf..... Toyota spent millions on the design that lasted 190K on your odometer... why change it to anything ither than oem? and I seen your other video changing the flasher, ripping out a denso for some Chinese bullshit. no thanks I like my parts oem
Well no offense, but some of us like to modify things; this particular mod isn't really difficult. Another reason is some people don't like the stock green tint all the lighting in the '98 4Runner has. The flasher module actually has been working quite well, most everything today is from China anyways. But if you are opposed to LED lighting, then at least don't post (what seem to be) angry comments on videos about LED lighting.
KaliDeals Just let the man fucking mod his car the way he likes it. An LED instrument panel won't fucking bother other drivers are night. I respect a person who takes a time to mod a car to their liking, shows that they care about what they own.
They didn't have high power reliable LED's in 98. There is no downside to switching to LED's that WILL outlast the life of the vehicle most likely. Why not improve things with modern technology on older cars ? And if its a decision that you don't like, it's not your car, so who cares ? I just switched out all the burned out indicator lights on my 91 MR-2 with 450K miles on it to all LED's. And i love it. Still looks perfectly factory OEM just like i like it as well.

Dude your much better than some of the certified Toyota Dealership mechanics I've dealt with. Thanks for the video.
Would've been nice if you showed exactly how to remove the cluster

Ok thanks for showing us how to remove it first. Good job
Is it me or his voice sound like wiatt on weird science 🤣🤣🤣
Your stewed buttwad!!
Who me?
Ya know what time it is
Uh, .....2
Time to pay the fiddler.
always disconnect the negative from your battery before you start you will be happy when it all works in the end !!!
Did it without disconnecting, nothing happens 😂
Dude Great Video.
I replaced the larger dash bulbs with LEDs and they work great. The 74 bulbs for bright beam indicator and cruise control indicators LEDs do not work . Any ideas?
Hmm not sure, I guess just check that they are in the socket correctly and maybe reverse them in case they are polarized bulbs...
SonI got a 2002 4runner SR5 2wd. Does anyone know what dash bulbs I need for the speedo and tach? I also want to change out the HVAC control bulbs. Any idea what sizes I need?
The climate control bulbs should be number 74. Ditto for the glove box light. 194 or 168 bulbs are commonly used for the instrument cluster.
Bro what size of the T bulb that u bought?
That should be a number 74 bulb.
What do the leds look like in the dark
I have a 5 year follow up video that shows that (and apologies for replying to you 5 years later as well) ruclips.net/video/t8tbXwEdi8g/видео.html
@@ArtiePenguin1kinda don't matter now was 5 years Ago
Awesome video Thanks!
How do you know which bulb to buy? My 2000 sr5 needs 74, 24 & nep-wedgeA but Superbright lists 74, 194 & 158
Sorry, I don't think I'd be much help here - the best advice I would give you would be to buy the bulbs listed in the manual from SuperBrightLEDs.
Do the leds dim?
Yes the LEDs that I installed dimmed just fine
I have a 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf it.looks like the identical dash instrument panel as yours which later on I'm going to the all the bulbs to Leds I know some of the leds would be T10 bulbs would that be correct & the smaller ones would they maybe be T5 Led bulb's would correct or would they be T4 Led Bulbs Kind Regards Peter from New Zealand & I will be getting these Led bulbs from AliExpress & the Led Bulbs are Very Reasonable Prices I look forward to your reply Thank You

Can you just replace the bulb on the 74 and keep the old base?
I think all the LED bulbs are sold with the plastic base so I don't think you can keep the old base
Sure you can, I just changed mines yesterday. They're called T5
HI from Mexico 😁🇲🇽
Where did you get the led blobs from??
Josh The bulbs were purchased from SuperBrightLEDs
@@ArtiePenguin1 can you get my a link to any of the bulbs in the dash, because i dont know what i need at all. Thanks and sorry for my english i know it's bad😁
@@boyka9016 The links to the bulbs should be in the description
Does this work for a 1999? The same parts?
pikachu xd yup.
The camera movement isn't shaky enough... Drink more Coffee or Redbull, amigo. I mix both together...

Hello, what if the gear light on the cluster is dead, is there a bulb behind it too?
Those should be number 74 bulbs as well. I'm not sure if the original bulbs have a colored latex cover on them or not. I'd just get LEDs that are the correct color for the gear lights instead of all white LEDs.
Hope this helps!
how about showing how to get the bloody cluster out? this part is child's play
A simple google search can instruct on how to remove the cluster.
Looks like good content but DUDE! Stop with the head cam. I couldn't watch it for all the swaying back and forth.
Sorry, this was an old video, I now have better stabilizing equipment and technique
