I just completed this. Thanks again for the video - it's the best one out there for this. For anyone looking for the replacement bulb size (for the larger ones), it's 194. I bought a 2 pack of these at my local auto parts store for $5.
Hi peter, thanks for all your videos, and you are the only person I check always when I want to do any work on my car.. Keep up the good work, God bless you and long live.
This helped me a lot today. I must mention that I was able to exchange the bulbs in the white holders. You just need to move the tip left and right a bit and it goes off easily. My cockpit is visible at night again, thanks! 🙂
great vid, used it to replace bulbs in my 2000 Corolla E11 1,4 lift(97bhp) with Neolux N286 12v 1,2W W2x4,6d bulbs, fit perfectly and cost 2$ for pack of 10 all bulbs were white and same type
Thanks for the video Peter, you rock! I saw that you recommend the original light bulbs for this but can you tell me if the standard 194 series bulbs will fit in? Just because I'm thinking of replacing all of the bulbs to LED and frame of the 194s doesn't really looks like the original plastic frame (the white plastic on the bulb in your video). One of them needs replacing but I don't think its a good idea to replace only one of the bulbs.
Hi,I have a similar dash,but mine is a 1998,and the dash is longer with the round ac on/off in between the other knobs.The one on the far right being where you want air directed and the hot to cold at the end - on far left,then second to left is the fan speed.All the lights are now out,but the round ac which has a green light that goes on when you depress it.Is it the same procedure for mine,and is it ALWAYS bulbs ? Blown fuses don't cause this symptom ?
Thank you for showing how to do this and how easy it is to do. I need to get a dead bug from behind my glass (plastic), that's right in front of my speedometer, It drives me crazy to see it there! LOL
Hi! Do you have a video where you fix a noisy window electric opener on a Toyota Corolla Luna MAY 98? My mechanical was too lazy to open the door and fix it... thanks!
Hi Peter i have a 1999 corolla right hand drive. everything seems to be the same as yours however, when i remove all the screws from the cluster i can't seem to pull the cluster out far enough to get to the wires at the back. i don't want to pull too much to pevent breaking the speedo wire. Any tips?
Hi, great video! I wanted to do the same way but I have more cable and on of them which is connecting to the speedometer is to short I have to disconnect it I think, but I am not sure how to do it because the head is quite special. Any idea ? thx My one is toyota corolla sedan 2001 (but the old type)
Hi, my dash won't light up anymore and I noticed it yesterday. Before I go and buy bulbs to replace them with, is there another possibility as to why they might be out I should check first, like a fuse maybe? everything else works as it should and since it's only the dashlighting that's not working I'm assuming it's just the bulbs all burnt out at once. But I would like your opinion
Nice, how many bulbs are in there? If radio light is working are they fused on the same circuit? If none of the cluster lights are working where else should I look before taking it apart if the radio and clock are working? I like this video showing how to get it apart, Thanks so much.
I need some help! I have a Toyota Paseo/Cynos from 1997, almost everything looks the same, but when I have unscrewed all of the screws, I cannot pull my Dashboard out. It seems like it is stuck somehow?
Hey peter, I have a problem with my 2001 corolla's instrument cluster.... When i turn the left turn signal on, the rear mirror defroster light starts to blink instrad of the left turn signal light and when i switch on the rear mirror defroster, no lights turn on in the instrument cluster. I have checked all the bulbs in the instrument cluster, they work fine... I can't understand what the problem is, can u help me with this ?
Hi, your issue sounds like to be electric cables and wires issue. This means that some of your electric cables are loosen or broken. You should check all cables what are connect to turn signal and rear mirror defroster light. This job take time, so be patient. :-)
+Peter Finn great stuff thanks 👌 if I may ask another question, my indoor light on the ceiling, even when I have it set to come on when the door opens, it stays on all the time, any help?
Hi ive unscrewed all screws and removed casing but the dash seems stuck? I don't have to disconnect the speedometer do i? I have a 98 toyota corolla csx hatchback. ..
Hey. I have a Toyota corolla e12 hatchback from 2002. When i take the instrument panel out there is a Black plastic cover that protects The green thing where the lights are. I cant Remove the cover so i cant change the lights... my instrument panel is called VDO E61-d Can you please help me?
Well I have tried but it was not easy. Screwing, pulling... nothing :( at the end I didn;t remove it. Just swirled only to push arm from the side and unscrew the lights :P hopefully, it works. So... how should I unplug it and plug it again? Would feel saver without risk of brakeing it :P
TEMPTING TO CHANGE TO led when taking apart. However, some find that the LED is so low wattage (maybe different voltage ) that the LED will not turn off. Has anyone easily changed incandescent dash lights to LED. Tail lights are easy because this issue is already solved with the after-market voltage being the same.
I had another cable in the back of the dashboard and it was so short, I couldn't pull out the dash only a little bit. So I had to squeze my hand and switch it in a very small place. Also the bulb CAN be taken apart so you have to purchase a standard dashboard light an that will fit in.
Yes, but I couldn't pull out the dash like you did because not only one cable was attached to it, but there was a second one in the middle which was so short I couldn't pull out the dash in my direction (only for about 5-10 cm). And also I tried but I couldn't detach that cable... maybe there is a special method for detaching it that i'm not aware of.
+Peter Finn I'm checking to see first if it's the bulb or a fuse. I turn on my headlights and got no lights on dashboard and just realized shifter on middle console is out as well.
If all dash lights are off, at a time, means tail lights are not working and it is not safe to drive. Then go back and find if any of rear bulb is dead.
Thanks for the video. Can you tell me what is the name of the replacement bulb? I haven't been able to find it at autozone. Im going to try oreillys and the dealer tomorrow.
Mukul Bhatt Hello. Number code is 90981-11018. This is the special Toyota bulb. Price is about 2 US$ per piece. Please visit the nearest Toyota original dealership center. You will get the new bulb within one or do day.
Mukul Bhatt Are you sure it will work? Cause the 194s frame doesn't look like the originals at all... Did you change it yourself or they did it for you and maybe applyed some hack to suit them in?
endruboy111 , changed it myself. It worked flawlessly and was very simple, no hacks needed. One awesome tip I just learned from a friend is about the color. Instead of buying colored caps (my bulb had a green plastic wrap to give a green hue to the dash) you can save a few dollars and use a sharpie to color the bulb. I didny try this but my friend said it works decently.

And I need to check fuse circuit.

No. Toyota parts are so durable. Bulb is bad.
To change HUD colour do I just buy a different colour bulb or will that do anything?
+Fate Borgie Different colour bulb is Ok.
Nice, how many bulbs are in there? If radio light is working are they fused on the same circuit? If none of the cluster lights are working where else should I look before taking it apart if the radio and clock are working? I like this video showing how to get it apart, Thanks so much.

They could be old.
Thanks. This helps
You are welcome my Friend. :-)
hey, thanks for the video. Was wondering if you know the model number of the bulb you took out?
Hi, the bulb is very common and cheap(about 1$/apiece). Please go to auto repair shop or Toyota dealer ship.
hey peter, do you how to install a new 1din car stereo on that model....
Hi, I would install the car stereo to just below of temp and fan switches. There is now a CD box and it could take away.

Hi. How you did it without a fight with a cable counter of dashboard? I mean... how did you unplug and plug it again?
Toyota parts are easy to unplug. Quality matters.
Well I have tried but it was not easy. Screwing, pulling... nothing :( at the end I didn;t remove it. Just swirled only to push arm from the side and unscrew the lights :P hopefully, it works. So... how should I unplug it and plug it again? Would feel saver without risk of brakeing it :P

Any idea on how to replace it on a 2010 Toyota Corolla?

Check the electrical wiring. A fuse that is too big can burn the wires
