lighting for AC/heat controls??

[lewisb01]

I just bought my 97 SR5 last week and I was driving it home and I noticed there was no light for ac/heat controls I was thinking maybe it was made this way but then again it cant be.

I tore the dash apart to install a radio and I didnt see any light bulbs I did notice a clear piece of plastic behind the ac panel but wasnt for sure what that was.

Any help on this it's kind of bugging me at night that I cant see my ac/heat controls.

behind that clear plastic band is one bulb...

Its a 74 bulb...

check out http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/35104-led-lighting.html if while you are in there you want to update to LED lighting..

also if you click on the "pic thread" in my sig, and go to the last page, you can see the difference that LED makes

I assume there is one for the glove box as well that i'm missing?

are these led bulbs sold at local stores like autozone etc...? or do I have to order them online?

Ive seen some LED lights at O'reilly and such, but not sure of the quality and or whether they have all the different sizes etc.

if you want to do the most of the lights,

you will need

3-194's for the speedometer/tach/temp guage
(an amber 194 if you want to do the low fuel light)

74's for the climate control, glove box, cigarette lighter, ashtray, key ring

and then

supposedly you need type "A" or T3 from V-leds.com for the a/c button, defroster, rear window etc.

but I think the Type 'A" or T3 only fits the A/C button,

again, check out the last page especially dragon boys post at
