I have a light out in the middle climate control. I have searched the net up and down and can't find what size or type of bulb/
led it takes to replace it. Hopefully it's something AutoZone might carry. Any idea's??

Thanks!!!

90010-09015 is the part number for the 4th gen's a/c climate control back lighting... Each knob has one. I just ordered some from my dealer and they are $3.20 each and take 2-3 days to get.


Oh and btw I did the same as you, and went to autozone, etc looking for that type of bulb. It is so tiny and I could not find anyone who would carry it but the dealer.

I have the same problem in mine. Now I know what to order. Does the knob pop off, or does the center console have to come out?
 
I ordered the bulb today from my local Toyota dealer. I got two just in case I screw something up. The procedure looks pretty striaight forward.

Thanks again for the part #!

Pull up on the black center compartment under the climate control. That just slides up and out. Then unscrew the only screw directly underneath the climate control. Once you do that pull the whole climate control unit out towards you. It sometimes is in there pretty good. Clips are the only thing that is holding it on. Unhook the cable and turn the climate control over. The back of each knob you will see a small hole towards the center. Take a small flat head screw driver and turn the neo-wedge adapter counter clockwise.Turn it up side down and it should fall right out into your hand. Replace and enjoy your new amber a/c controls!
 
I need to get some for my comp. readout.

either one side or the other dims on occasion. Especially in cold weather.
 
My bad - actually, if your illumination is out on the knob, you don't have to take the unit apart. You can access the bulb by simply removing the panel from the dash.

Sorry if there was any confusion (like there was on my part LOL).

Do not know if this will apply to everyone doing this but I also noticed the new neo adapters that are with this part number are slightly different than the originals. Meaning when you put the new ones in and tighten to the right, they have a different fitment. They fit perfectly fine, just a little different from the originals.

Who knows it could have been just the two I got, but thought I would mention it.
 
Well I changed out the bad bulb. Taking out the middle console the first time is not for the faint of heart. About the time you think something is going to break it pops out. Anyway, after changing out the ONE bad bulb I replace the console only to find I broke TWO other bulbs. Back to the the Toyota dealer. What I learned from this so far is plan on replacing all the bulbs when you have it apart and you shouldn't have to take it apart again!

Thanks for all the help!!!

I replaced several of these bulbs this week. I believe 90010-09015 is the toyota part number for the long bulbs. The bulb itself is clear, you just remove the yellow or in my case green nipple and put it on the new blub. Instead of paying 5 bucks for the bulb at Toyota I actually went to Radio Shack and bought the bulb discussed in the thread below. The thread conatins some good pics showing how to install the replacement bulbs.

So I replaced the light bulb and the knob is still not lighting up. The arrows for the auto or a/c light up but not the actual "Auto", "A/C" "Up" or "down".

Has anyone else experienced this?

my up/down arrows don't light up currently, but my display is out as well. i'll be replacing the display backlights this week and post back if i figure that riddle out.
 
Hopefully the attached diagram with part numbers for each specific LED will help someone else. :)

center console readout bulbs

I just replaced the center console message display center bulbs with those i bought at radio shack (lampt type 7219, part # 272-1092) ... and I noticed that these bulbs are slightly smaller than the OEM bulbs.

They still work, but appear to be dim as compared to the OEM ones. I went back to radio shack, but did not find any other ones that were a larger diameter. Maybe I have to buy the OEM ones ?? Are they brighter than the radio shack ones ?? has anyone esle experienced this ??

I searched the internet quickly for larger diameter bulbs, but not found anything yet.
