Actually, I found it quite distracting....... too many colors.... and especially the bright green (cannot be dimmed down) "ECO" light....

If you roll through the ODO settings you can turn the "ECO" light off. (Page 87)

[mikey's2010SR5]

You can turn the ECO light off. At least my crummy gauges I could.

[jicko]

Thanks guys. DONE!

My first mod (wasnt really one), but this is a good one. I picked up the car last night and drove almost 100miles to come home. The green ECO is hella annoying.

Now, how to stop nav's voice turn by turn instructions? And the right little screen with the lanes and lots of red (-) wrong way display? I couldnt believe a Japanese car's 2014/15's navi is worse than those of 5yrs old BMWs or 10yrs old garmin......

I had the same problem, I dove 1.5 hours to pick up my T4R, driving back in the pouring rain at night, I always kept thinking my turn signal was on down there. Just the ECO light.

First 2 pics..... FOB (fresh off the boat)....



So sad that the dealership has already *drilled* the front license plate holes..... :-(

Anyways,

Interior LEDs package ordered (Sizes 194 & 3022)
18pcs Deluxe White LED Bulbs for 2014 2015 Toyota 4Runner Interior Package Kit | eBay

Reverse/Backup Bulbs ordered (Size 921, ie. T15 LEDs)
Amazon.com: Cutequeen LED Car Lights Bulb White T15 1206 68-SMD 906 579 901 904 908 909 912 914 915 916 917 918 920 921 922 923 926 927 928 939 (pack of 2): Automotive

[jicko]

Sadly..... the first mod is a "failure"

I wanted brighter back-up lights, so I ordered these:
http://www.amazon.com/Cutequeen-Ligh.../dp/B00J7HBRL8

The package they came in:


They are definitely "whiter", but it is NOT "brighter". :-(

Left is the new white LEDs, right is the stock 921:


Left is the stock 921, right (may not even be visible) is the new white LEDs:


Now, I need to hunt for some brighter 921-sized brighter LEDs....

Any recommendations?

[mikey's2010SR5]

Don't waste your time. Get some Rigids and put them in the bumper. Someone just recently did a clean install on a stock bumper.

Can you please dims your dash to the lowest and take a picture???

My roller do not dims the "GREEN" oval (ECO) light..... it dims everything else.... maybe I have a defective one....

I will do that once I get my Gobi roof rack, I will probably wire 2 rear facing, roof mounted light to turn on with a switch as well as with "reverse" (probably picking that signal up from the "reverse sense" line).
