Great video! I was getting pretty annoyed too at this problem. Yes, first world problems but also the car isn’t cheap so I’m very surprised they did that. Thanks for the fix!
Thanks for watching. I totally agree, some people mention as im complaining for these little things but seriously, this irritated me and annoyed me everytime I wanted to use it without lights.
nice video. I like that. I did something similar on my WRX but mine is a lot more work. . love those LED's
A very nice video. You are unquestionably a confidence builder with your excellent instruction and camera work. Thanks
Thanks for watching and much appreciated for your comment.
Really appreciate your video's dude. I leased the 2023 RAV 4 Prime SE which I'm sure you are aware doesn't have allot of these features. These are simple things that I wish Toyota would make standard however, it's great to know that it can be easily upgraded thanks to your DIY video's. Keep up the good work!!! 👍👍👍
Hello , I just bought rav4. 4x4 premium with panorama , I will make the same change … thank you for your post
Great vid! Might get for my RAV4 Prime…Understatement of the year, “Toyota cheated out.” That’s their middle name…I owned a Toyota back in 1986 (my first car - Corolla 5speed). Since then, owned 25 cars before my Prime, none of them Toyotas, and my last 5 were 2 BMWs, a Porsche, and Audi, and a TESLA. I see why Toyotas are considered reliable…there are no frills…infotainment is a decade behind (thank God for Apple CarPlay), the app blows…no way to see if your car is charging, the state of charge, when it’s finished, or how many Kw it took in…the FOB is about a decade behind (e.g., can’t roll down or up windows). In other words, very few things to develop bugs or break. And I’m fine with that, but just stating facts.
Cool mod for not very much money. Well worth doing as fumbling for these switches in the dark is annoying. I've also added a dimmer mirror/homelink setup from a Lexus (purchased second hand off ebay) and will soon be tackling installation of the Toyota tow hitch and electrical setup! For Arizona, which is insanely hot, I've bought an iRoad X10 camera setup and will be using your video as a guide. Many, many thanks for sharing your experiences and the work entailed in doing so.
Thanks for watching 😁 Seems like you're busy with your mods 😄 The XSE in Canada comes with the homelink/autodimming mirror, so got lucky with that. I don't know the iRoadX10, but as long as it has capacitors instead of a battery, it's a good choice for the weather.
@@EVDude Unfortunately the markup for the XSE was $10,000 whereas the markup for the SE was only $5,000, so I bought the SE. The only feature I miss is the seat memory. The X10 was primarily chosen for its demonstrated resistance to heat, but I do wish it had cloud features. Maybe a later model :)
@@davidgapp1457 It really hits me that dealers in the US are allowed to have markups on these vehicles. It's actually illegal here in Québec, Canada. I've seen crazy markups reported in the RAV4 Prime Facebook group. It's crazy!!
@@EVDude It should be illegal here too! However Toyota could, if they chose, clamp down on dealerships charging mark-ups. They don't, so as far as I'm concerned Toyota is complicit. Toyota is not selling the Rav4 Prime in Arizona so I had to fly over to San Francisco, pay cash and drive home to Arizona. The tax credit here is $7,500 which helps of course.
@@EVDude illegal in Ontario also..... probably illegal in the other provinces also.
Great mod once again, thanks for sharing. I'll wait for the next one, could not see what you were holding in your hands and what it was for. Cheers :-)
Can you replace and add lights in the overhead so you see the buttons overhead?
What about illumination for the dome light buttons near the sunglass holder. That’s the WORST can never see what button I’m pushing and there are a few up there :(
EVDUDE Nice video, but will i found one like that, for my 2007 corolla?
Nice,
You are mod-ing/ improving your R4P so much your car's value will be increasing :)
Value to him, not to the bank lol
I see they offer the switches for the 3 passenger doors as well. Would you recommend the switches for the other doors?
Big like for this feature
From where did you purchase de module with light?
Thanks for watching. Here's the link : cartrimhome.com/Lighted-LED-Switch-RAV4-2019
great video, thanks!
Dude, you make awesome videos I just wish you would invest in a tripod so you can use two hands lol.
Hehe thanks man. 👍🏽 I actually did recently, my next videos will be with a Tripod. 😁 Thanks for watching and for your feedback, much appreciated. 🙏🏽
Do you have PPF installed anywhere on the car? That would be a great video as the front bumper is a bit tricky!
Unfortunately my whole front is already covered with PPF, won't be able to do a video. 😢
Can I use them for my European rav4 hybrid 2021 as well?
Is there anyway to have them light up when the door is opened?
You mean when the car is off and the driver door opened?
This is a great video. Do any of the XSE optional factory equipment choices include a lighted window switch? Was this feature added in 2022?
It does not unfortunately. But if you'll be getting the 2022 model, they've adjusted this part to be lit now.
Hello, how do the actual buttons feel compared to the original? The original feels more smooth but do these new one have a more tactile clicky feel?
I installed them yesterday so haven't had much time to try them. For the few times I did try, I didn't feel any difference from the OEM one. Will get back to you in a few days if that changes. Thanks for watching 😉
Any updates?
@@DUNGSTA yes. Been 3-4 weeks, everything is working well. Same feel as the original one and makes a huge difference, at least for me. Unlocking the doors are much easier now.
My blender has more lights than the interiors of my RAV4 and Camry combined, and it definitely goes from 0 to 60 faster lol
Haha!! Totally agree with you.
I am not sure if you have experienced Apple carplay volume disconnection occasionally, I had to turn off my radio and reconnect the flash cable to usb to make the volume control works
I only have an Android phone and I didn't experience any issues. Did you try changing the cable?
Install the software update from Toyota
Is there any noticeable difference in the tactile feel of the switches compared to the OEM factory ones from Toyota? Does it feel cheaper at all? thanks.
Yes they are different and you will feel the difference when you use them.
@@EVDude thanks!
From.where to buy this switch ?? Send the link or website
It's in the video description.
This is pretty much my only complaint with my Rav4. I can never find the buttons lol
It's an easy modification as you can see. You should do it Hehe 😉😅
es ce que ca fonctionne sur un rav4 xse hybrid 2020
Oui, ça devrait.
Is it dual action as well for the rear windows ?
Yes, dual action for all 4.
Is there a 3rd party upgrade product to add wireless connection for carplay in a 2021 SE Rav4 Prime? Or does this require an entirely new Infotainment system? Thank you in advance.
Yes you can use something like this amzn.to/3seQE6Q.
Would this work on the LE? Thanks
Yes it would.
@@EVDude thanks so much. You’re video is amazing.
@@kissingbanditt Thank you very much for taking the time to give me feedback, much appreciated!
Pity no uk verosion
It's hard to believe that you gotta do this by yourself after spending ~50k for a car. My 7 year old car has on the led buttons from the factory.
I know right! Very unfortunate that Toyota cheaped out on this.
Can I have a question, is it has the same blue light as others originally buttons from your RAV4 ?
Yes, exactly the same blue hint as the OEM ones.
@@EVDude oh nice I bought one of those driver side on Amazon but the light is different than the one u got 🥲
does these work for rav4 2022 models?
I think 2022 models already come with lights.
Do they come for the map lights bottom
Unfortunately I havent found any. I really hate that the map switches are not lit.
@@EVDude the other day I couldn't find the bottom
Love your mod vids. Was there any trickyness for the other 3 door switches?
Unfortunately I didn't switch the other doors, only the driver side 😕
@@EVDude love the mod, does the same company make these for the other doors?
Where is the link to get the switch?????
In the video description 😉

Seriously wrong of Toyota cutting corners to save a few $. and endangering the lives of women or really anyone getting into car at night and needing to lock door fast and unable to find door lock.
What about the door lock/unlock switch on the passenger side?
You can change those too if you want. It's the same process.
@@EVDude Not for the door lock switch on the front passenger side. Unfortunately there's no backlit button for it...
@@CumBrianFries Ah sorry! You're right, they only have window switches for the passengers. 😞
