I fixed the one on mine with some carful plastic welding but I’m afraid to take it back apart and it not surviving lol . I missed the one stupid light that shows the x1000 rpm. OCD is kicking in. I could use a speedometer needle off a limited if you ever have an extra one I could buy from you.

What’s your email so I can send you my number. I may as well see how much you want to do my hvac lights and stuff too. I got the neo lights and they are too bright . Like even with my gauges turned all the way down they light up my driver and passenger seat.

Cluster led
Would you happen to have a list of all the different leds for the cluster upgrade
And the other switches ?
Nice write up and thank you

New here, but been looking at this thread for about two weeks now.
Replaced my climate control lights as well as the rear window switch light, glove box, shifter and cup holder lights with LED's. I don't know how the PO saw anything. Only the arrows on the climate control worked, all other lights were burnt out.
However for the life of me, I coudln't figure out how to get the LCD LED's to work. I bought NEO 4 from superbirght from one of the multiple links on this thread. I finally noticed that they were the HP lights. Can't seem to find the non HP NEO4's so I'll probably mess around with finding an acc wire and tapping into that and running a wire to the LED's.

I had the same issue, any link to working LEDs for the display?
My 4runner got hit by a drunk driver and I pulled the radio and dash cluster that I did LED conversions to blue LEDs. If anyone is looking for an already covered dash cluster or JBL Synthesis 6CD changer radio, DM me about it. I'm asking $150 for the cluster and $200 for the radio. That seems to be the same price as the parts without the LED conversion done to them.
I also have a bunch of other accessories from the 4Runner too:
- rubber OEM floor mats
- carpet OEM floor mats
- rear cargo retractable cover
- rear cargo spider web tie down
- head rests from all the seats (inc. middle second row)
- CBI off-road fender light/antenna mounts (both L/R)

Not yet. I just did the timing belt, but as for the LCD display it just isn't backlit. There is a post that I saw on here somewhere of a guy tapping in a 12v supply and then running wires to the LED's. I don't really want to do that, as there are others on here that have done the swap with no issues.

A little over halfway is a slight example.

Currently still in the process of upgrading my T4R. I've done all non solder bulbs. Anyone that stumbles on this, if you buy the ones on amazon, 50 pk, that go in the holders and don't need resistors... you can scuff or sand the acrylic to reduce the hot spot effects in your center console lights. For the hvac LCD, I can confirm there are neo wedges you can buy that don't need the 12v accessory mod. I'll repost the link to save someone from digging through all the pages. I just did a direct swap with the neo4 wedges and they work fine.

Where would one go about finding the OEM replacements?
Here is the final product:
Oh man that is clean. Gives it such a nice modern look. The orange lights feel pretty outdated. Nice work!

Will someone quickly tell me which bulbs are for 4H/4L indicator?
Also, which bulb is behind center diff lock on the very left of dash?
THANKS for not making me read the whole thread again lol!

Bulb info and the new 5630 leds!
The 4WD takes the T3 LED and I recommend you use the Goldstar Matrix 5630 LED from superlumination.com if you want as much light spread as you can get since it's just one led for the whole knob. The 5630's have 6 leds, 2 on each side and 2 on top, much better than one forward facing led chip and this goes for the HVAC selector buttons too. The LCD holes aren't deep enough to fit the T4 5630's so just buy the standard Goldstar SMD's and you can undo the led leads and rewire them, use solder plus heat shrink tubing to keep them rigid, to the fuse box using a pigtail fuse connector. Been so long since I did this I can't remember where I got the power from. Use the T3's for the center diff lock and downhill assist switches, rear window switch and hazard too. The fit will be tight but use the 5630 Goldstar Matrix and finally see that hazard button lit up during daylight, why Toyota put that bulb at the bottom of the switch so it faces the opposite side instead of pointing toward the indicator icon is a mystery, the all around light of the GSM 5630 will solve that. If you want to do the cup holders you get to them by removing the center cowling? Use the 74 T5 GSM 5630 x1 but it's bulb holder hangs upside down so I used a bit of electrical tape on pcb each side of bulbs base to keep it snug, too much to remove to replace it if it falls out mine hasn't, 74 T5 for glove box so you can actually see what's in it lol. There's also a blue only T3 Japanese OEM led that Traci carries that fits perfectly for the Reset/Mode button that I use. Be prepared you may have to trim some of the pcb edges off to fit bulbs in the holes, use a Dremel tool or a file and go slow, these are aftermarket parts and one size never fits all but it wasn't a big deal to do and the brightness of these bulbs is worth it! Let me know if you need any more info like how to get the 4WD switch out or how to get to the flasher relay to replace it and stop hyper flash of turn signals, so Not fun Toyota.
