sure. super easy. there are only 3 bulbs you need for the main dash and 2 for the middle console (if you have a 1998 or older) and I think you just need 1 for newer models.
i first went with BRIGHT white LEDs and while they were certainly bright, I wasn't feeling the love at night driving around. Those $3 LEDs I bought at Amazon for the dome lights and map lights turn my car into an operating room when they're on so I wanted the dash lights to be much more calm. i'm super happy with the purchase.
Here is what I got; if you put in your toyota model & year at SUPERBRIGHTLEDS, these will be the first ones that come up so its not a big deal if you lose this thread. I'm sure those other 2 LED companies that advertise on here have similar bulbs.
You don't need the green ones below unless you need new blinker lights.
NOTE - its very important to get the 3 SMD bulbs for your middle console; the 1 SMD isn't designed for rear illumination so you won't get even lighting.

Great thanks. Thats exactly what I needed. My biggest problem was that there were 6 pages of the 194 bulbs and I had no idea which one I needed. haha

no problem. i dont recommend the superbright 3175s because the amazon versions are MUCH MUCH brighter and waaay cheaper (I posted another thread on that today)
also i bought those blue ones in white initially..and they did look good..but too bright. the dimmer 'kinda' worked on them..but it only dimmed them a tiny bit before they went out completely using the dimmer knob.
the blues are so much better and do a much better job with dimming..i love driving around at night now. the pioneer radio has thousands of color combinations so i have it set to randomly change the color behind the buttons and the on-screen color.
its like being in a new car
