Dash Light bub for the heater controls
Has anyone ever had to put in a new light bulb in the heater controls on a 3rd Gen T4r? I am trying to figure out how much pain this is going to be. I have had the center dash panel off to change out the radio and I know how to get to the controls, but do the controls need to be pulled to change the bulb or can it be found without much issue once the panel is removed. Apparently this is a very small bulb and quite expensive as bulbs may go.

 Nice punt on the information network. However the bulb changeout in the file is missing a large amount of picture info, so still working on the edge to get info. It appears to be a different model dash than my 97 4R. The Toyota dealer did not have bulbs on hand and they would order them. I am not opening that up again until I have them in hand, that way I am not wasting time on the devils work.
P.S. I only have been on here for a few weeks, so I did not know it was here. Good of you to point it out.

That climate control is a newer style, than the one that I have. Mine is a manual control panel with sliding levers on it.

I had to search for a long f'n time to get anything concrete, just a day or two ago. True, the guide is missing all but one picture and isn't of much help.
I wanted to know what bulb fit my 99 SR5, so many threads about the limited climate control bulbs and LEDs that it took a while.
Anyway, get a #74 bulb. I believe your vehicle has a single bulb, mine has two, twin pack is five bucks.
Sylvania/14 Volt long life interior/exterior bulb (74LL) | | AutoZone.com
I think you just yank the knobs off (or slider head things) and separate the trim plate leaving you with this (from shinyblackdeer's amazing build thread). again, i think you'll have just one bulb in center. toytec had a walk through too on here for getting to the bulbs.

FINALLY! after 44 pages of Habanero's build I found what I wanted to know. That is one long and intricate write up on the daily useage of a T4R.
Thanks

Now, to add pain to pleasure, the light in my heater control started working this morning---WITHOUT any assistance from me. I am going to replace and check for a loose bulb anyways.

I refer to her build thread fairly often because the '96 4Runners have some unique aspects of their own, and she has already addressed many of the items I need/want to do on my own SR5...

SEARCH! USE THE SEARCH FEATURE!
This is the second time in the past three days I've posted this exact same picture.
#74 bulbs from SuperBrightLEDs. Also, here is a link to my build that has all the information you need.

There's a table of contents, post 2, because I have that very same problem. 
I don't remember to put everything on it though. I'm pleased if it helped.
Thanks for the confidence vote, hrt4me!

I plan to be in Missouri again sometime this Spring; maybe I can join the MO4WD group for an outing because I plan to bring my 4Runner this time...

That would be awesome, especially if it doesn't fall on a trail build day! I have a feeling that truck of yours has been morphing quite a lot and I'd love to see what all you've done.
