Blue LEDs installed!!!
I'm digging the blue LEDs, but the rest of the dash is still that orange/yellow/brown color. I may attempt more LEDs at a later date.
If anybody wants details on the LED's, resistors or techniques I used (I used quite a few), gimme a holler. In the meantime, have a great day and take care of your T4Rs.

Absolutely replaceable . There is one bulb behind each control. I found when I did this that the copper where the lamps contact the pc board was oxidized and showed heat discoloration. I used a pencil eraser to clean the pc board before installing new lamps. Be careful not to pull the flat ribbon wire which goes to these controls.

Are these bulbs dealer only? Looks like there are at least 5 bulbs on the entire unit, so I might as well replace them all.

I bought mine at the dealer for just the controls and they came in a sealed bag w/3 lamps in it. There are LEDs available w/the same base but I don't know how bright they are. they come in a lot of colors. I just wanted to keep the OEM look. I have heard that Radio Shack also sells them.

my left light on the display went out today after installing my USA Spec iPod integration unit. I was kinda scared at first, but then again it was time, the ac dial light went out two weeks ago. Now it is time to replace all 5. Anybody know how much it will be to replace all 5 (two display) and 3 control dials? toyota oem bulbs, non led?

Hpk.
How difficult is it to get to those LED's behind the info panel? Mine are starting to flicker and need to replace them. Any directions on a starting point?
Thank you,
Rick

Don't have the bulbs.
I was going to stop by Toyota Sat. morning to see if it's under warranty since I have the extended bumper-bumper. I don't think a bulb will be covered. Any other place to buy them besides Toyota and what is the cost just for the info display?
I'd like to know where you actually start when taking off the display so I don't crack the plastic. Thank you for any additional details.
Rick

Are you guys saying the bulbs are available at Radio Shack, or the LEDs are available at Radio Shack if you should decide to replace the bulbs with LEDs?

Let us know what you find out. They replaced the entire panel on mine during the standard warranty period around a year ago. It is now starting to flicker again and I have the extended warranty as well.

My only concern about going to Toyota for my appt is for them to check it out AND come back w/a bill for $155 just for taking the panel off just to tell me it's a bulb. Since I have not taken the panel off (I'm not sure where to start) I'm not sure if there are bulbs behind it or if there is an LED panel that plugs into the back? Based on the pictures posted out here it looks like they're LED lights and I'm not sure if they're build into the info display panel?
The Toyota dealership in our area does not seem to be on top of things and I wish there was another one Toyota dealer around...
If anyone out here can let us know if the entire info display or just the bulbs and/or LED's can be replace it would help. Also let us know where to start when taking this panel off please.

Check this out. I'm bouncing between two posts (don't know how this happened...) I was sent this link, which helps a lot! Thank you to drmorbius. I think the dealer will have to repalce the entire info display, but I could be wrong. I just don't see any bulbs... If not, then I'll take it apart myself and save some green... I hate going to the Toyota dealer in this area even when the 4Runner is under extended warranty. I guess it's the BS I deal with every time I go there when I know there is a problem and they can't find it or it does not happen when I'm there. What a pain... So I've resorted to taking pictures when a problem happens so they can see what is going on. I may even start taking video!

They run 5 bucks a piece. A rip off, but nothing you can do besides install your own LEDs.
