- Never even knew there was a light in here. Sure enough, the bulb was just burnt out. Good time for an LED upgrade eh?

Thank you! My 4Runner is with me since 2009 and I never suspected the presence of this light. Replaced today. Well done.
Need to replace mine. Glad I found your DIY video now I know how gets replaced. Thank you.
This was really helpful! I have an old Camry but there aren't any specific videos for this issue w my car, so many thanks!!!
Even though this wasn't for a Camry, I am glad it helped you out!
To save you a headache next time, that whole socket disconnects and pulls right out of the glove box with the screen and everything
How
@ 1:48 you can see the tabs after the cover is opened that need to be pressed inward that release the socket @@s.wvazim6517
Thanks! Just purchased 1996 and working on replacing burnout bulbs>
Good video Darren 👌👍
Good to know! It’s the same for gen 1 tacoma
I'd love to replace my map lights in my '00 with LEDs but the damn thing wont even switch on and I can't figure out why
Nice
Thanks
Hey Darren what led bulb if any did you use on your climate control?
Hi Darren thank you for all the great videos. Where do you get you led light for this glove compartment? Thank you
Expand the video description to see the Amazon link to the LEDs
Any chance you ever did the ashtray bulb?
Anyone know what the panel next to it is
I was curious how long you would go back and forth with the light staying on, like when we are kids with the fridge light, lol.
Great vid!
Right!
Hi Darren how are you! I watched your video regarding glove compartment light bulb and it was awesome! What is the part number of the LED lights?
Any 12V bulb with a T5 socket will work, as long as the bulb part is not crazy large. Start with the ones I linked in the video description.
A light that stays on in a vehicle would be considered parasitic draw. Your led may not cause any issues but a halogen bulb would most certainly drain your battery if left for an extended amount of time. My best guess is there is some sort of switch that engages and disengages when you open and close the glove box that has gone bad. I can't imagine Toyota would have designed it stay on at all times.
im sure you already figured out that glovebox bulb is on/off with cluster.
Thanks for the video, dropping down the glove box like you did, did not work for my 99 SR5. I had to remove the 2 screws at the bottom and pull the whole thing out that way. I was concerned your way I was going to break it because it would not flex enough to drop it down. My question for you or any 3rd gen or 99 owners is: Does the glove box light stay on continuously when the headlights or running lights are on? I did not notice any kind of activation switch when I was changing out the bulb and it only made sense to me that the glove box bulb would burn out due to this because the glove box is so rarely opened.
Yes, the bulb remains ON when the running/main lights are turned on. There is no door sensor to shut it off when the glovebox is closed. Seems silly to me. Good thing its an easy replacement job. LED's should make the job even less frequent.
@@darrendexter6125 Thank you. I didn't have any luck finding the led bulb locally and the amazon link doesn't show that it is good for the 99 4runner, nor did the dealership have a clue where I had to purchase the original, not that I ever expect them to. I believe my bulb may cross ref to a T1 (Though I'm not 100% certain) not a T5. I had to return a T5 to the parts store, it was to big, other people said that is what they used. . I still want an led but for now this will have to do. Gotta figure out the ash tray light now. Bought my 4runner brand new back in 99 and wouldn't trade it for anything, just never noticed that damn light.
@@sandrasmith7960 The link in the video description is the exact bulb I used in my 99'. I can't imagine why a bulb with a T5 base would not fit in yours. Ash Tray light is the same bulb, and very easy. So easy, I didn't bother making a video for that one. If I remember correctly, its on all the time too (same as glove box).
@@darrendexter6125 lol, not it mine, 2 different bulbs for glove box and ash tray. Wonder if it's because mine was manufactured in Japan? No clue. Is yours a limited or SR5? Mine is the SR5
@@sandrasmith7960 Mine is SR5 as well
Its now more than a year that you installed the LED bulb, how is it holding up?
Still working great
i am sure that the glove light is only on when your accessories light are on. Not when car is off.
He is mentioning it doesn't turn off with a sensor or button when closed like most other vehicles, yes it stays on only when accessory lights are on
I hate to ask but do I twist when I pull this out bc I’ve been twisting for forever
Well if you're still twisting, I'll let you in on a little secret: Don't twist it
Mine still didnt turn on even after turning in around
Glove compartment light Turn on when you turn your lights on
I just replaced mine with new standard bulb (non led) and still doesnt work. The bulb is correct and good. Anyone have any ideas?
With your headlights (or at least running) lights turned on, test the voltage at the bulb socket. It should be about 12V. If it is, then there is a connection issue. If there is no voltage, then its something earlier in the circuit.
@@darrendexter6125 thanks, yeah normally I would have tried already, but since such tiny contacts at such an awkward angle, I was hoping maybe I was just overlooking a stuck switch somewhere perhaps. I agree very wierd that there's no switch apparently. Guess I'll bring out my acrobatic skills and climb under there with a tester and magnifying glass. Thanks.
Anyone know what the door right next to the buld is for the one with the arrow on it lol
@@christopheradams7309 was just wondering this hah
Shut the door light will be out
