I just did this over the weekend (2/1/25 for you future folks). Looks awesome. Getting the adhesive off the screen was quite time-consuming, but everything worked out well in the end. This vid was a huge help, so thanks.
Follow up question.. thank you for posting this video! Are they dimmable? Current orange lights I keep low for night driving but I’m liking the white LED look
I used the same parts but found that the led bulb wires would break and once in the groves prevented the bulbs from sitting flush and no longer locked into place. The grey based bulbs have small fragile copper sleeves that break rending the bulbs useless.
Do you have any advice on replacing the lights that are dimmed when not selected? I have the light for the arrow when one of the settings is selected but the light for the text on the knob is not showing up. Great video brother
I dont believe anyone asked, why were there still orange lights when you were done? Think i noticed 3 orange lights. That aside looks great. I like it and would do it on my 4th gen just dont want any orange at all. Thanks for the reply.
100%! I’ve thought about doing the speedo, but I like the colours there for now. I have white LEDs throughout the rest of the truck that add so much light output! Thanks for stopping by my friend!
I don’t want to go full ham, but do you know why my LED flashed when turned on for the first time, then died? And then subsequent attempts with turning the lights on, no flash and no light… I’m an LED swap n00b and also, didn’t get or use this kit as I just wanted to swap an out bulb
Question! If I'd want the display screen to have the white background with dark lettering, would I just essentially omit the reverse polarity kit and leave current film as is?
What are LED’s that you don’t have to take apart and retrofit? Did they come in the kit? I bought his kit for my 2008 Limited and I don’t think I have those.
Check out Atoto! They have really great units at a way more affordable price. Congrats on finding a 4th Gen! We have tons of tutorials on our page for basic maintenance and mods. Feel free to reach out at any time!
@@looseaxles Haha..Honestly, I'm just a bit jealous. I was just enjoying you do it, and thinking to myself if I have the time..I honestly only need to change one screen backlight, so might just swao the buried LED. Thanks for teaching me how to do that! Great Job, looks futuristic.. If I just need an LED for the scree, do you know what LED model I should get?
@@SMShannon55I unfortunately had my camera and lense fall 6 feet off a ledge before filming this and was still fighting the effects of the broken focus system internally
T4Rewired.com is where you can buy your kit!

Awesome! I love to hear that. Im glad you were able to get it all sorted!
The reverse polarity looks amazing
Honestly I always really liked the orange color, but WOW that white looks SOOOOOO nice!
Right!! I was surprised as well at how nice it came out. 10/10 would reccomend!
@@looseaxles DId you change the color of the speedometer/tachometer/etc as well? I feel like that swap would be significantly more difficult.
Maybe in the future!
Yeah I much prefer a red or orange for night driving rather than White
Awesome install! This was a lot more work than I thought it would be
Oh no! It looks worse than it is. You got this!!
😊 I thought the same thing. It's best to make sure you're just having fun that day and nothing else to do. 😉
This looks Awesome! I'd liked to buy one already fixed to LED and just swap out the unit...
I believe T4Rewired has that option available!
@@looseaxles is that the say supplier he got the bulbs from in the video?
I’ve been wanting to replace mine. Thanks for the helpful tips!
Happy to help!
Thanks for the excellent detailed instructions!
Glad it was helpful!
Follow up question.. thank you for posting this video! Are they dimmable?
Current orange lights I keep low for night driving but I’m liking the white LED look
Yes! Completely dimmable just like stock!
Perfect, thank you Sir!
I really love the orange on mine but would love to so the led Swap If you can get them in Orange
I did this to my 09' Matrix but i went with an amber/orange LED. It retains the factory look and it also helps with the hot spots.
Nicely done!!
Where do i find the light bulbs?
@@santiagomercant9206 Amazon, Aliexpress, Ebay. Alot of Toyotas use T4 bulbs for HVAC.
Wish they sell the whole bulb kit. Instead of searching everywhere
T4Rewired sells the whole kit
I used the same parts but found that the led bulb wires would break and once in the groves prevented the bulbs from sitting flush and no longer locked into place. The grey based bulbs have small fragile copper sleeves that break rending the bulbs useless.
Good call! They can be very delicate.
Love the look. What happens if you don't switch the lights to 12v LEDs and leave them as 6v?
They would just be really dim!
Oh wow. A video I needed for a future project just got uploaded a week ago from you lol. Thank you I will hit you up.
Happy to help :)
Oh man your using scotch locks on the 12v plug Wire
Do you have any advice on replacing the lights that are dimmed when not selected? I have the light for the arrow when one of the settings is selected but the light for the text on the knob is not showing up. Great video brother
Hmm. It’s tough due to the placement of the lights within the knobs. Ideally an LED will be the best bet for output.
Nice work, came out sick.
Thank you!
I dont believe anyone asked, why were there still orange lights when you were done? Think i noticed 3 orange lights. That aside looks great. I like it and would do it on my 4th gen just dont want any orange at all. Thanks for the reply.
I believe those are due to the tinted plastic/glass on the knobs. I may be wrong though!
If you are willing to solder you can get almost any color for all your lights including dash and doors.

Nice, whats the technical reference of the leds?, y bought some and they burned right away after i installed them
T4Rewired would have the best answers to these questions!
What’s the link to the equipment you used? Looking to do this to mine! Thanks boss!
My man! If you search up T4Rewired LLC on Facebook or Instagram that will bring you straight to Mark to get a kit made!
You didn't show the Rear window and Emergency switch lights
Just remove that grey trim piece and they should disconnect easy and then new bulbs go in the same as the others
Man shut up
Did you call the police?
@@Tunky150 huh who would call the police over something Not being Shown?
@@AntonioClaudioMichael Probably the same guy who complains about a really good instructional video that was provided to him for free.
Great video. 👍
I’m confused on why you have to change the film?
What are you changing with reverse polarity?
When we switch to 12v power, we use the darker film to illuminate the numbers, opposite to before!
The polarity of the polarization, so what used to be opaque becomes transparent and vice versa.
Hey , I’m Calgary local, how much will you charge to help me install?
I don’t usually have too much time for shop work nowadays, but I might be able to give ya a hand if you get stuck!
Can i get a link to place order on the same setup?
Do they dim?
Great question! I’ve never tried to dim them. My assumption would be the function the same way as any other bulb.
I definitely need to do this!
Hey Kaden! If you are still in Calgary I have some spare bulbs. Feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you out 🤙🏻
Love this kit. Is there a link i am having trouble finding the kit online
The email is in the description! I believe T4Rewired is also on Facebook and Instagram, as well as youtube.
Question! If I'd want the display screen to have the white background with dark lettering, would I just essentially omit the reverse polarity kit and leave current film as is?
Yep! That’s correct!
@@looseaxles Thanks so much!

I got everything from t4Rewired! They will be able to get you all sorted!
@@looseaxleswhat was the ballpark price??
How has those LEDs been while driving at night? Do they dim like the original?
Yes! You can easy dim them. I actually prefer them over the OEM.
How many inches is the android stereo you used? Thanks
There’s an entire video devoted to the Atoto S8MS on our Chanel! Feel free to check it out.
@looseaxles Thanks to your fast reply appreciate it
This is fantastic. I like it. But it looks like lot of work.
Not too bad! Thanks for the comment!
I like my orange too much haha, but I'll send this to brother as he wants white
Do you have a tutorial on changing the speedometer on the dash as well?
I do not! I haven’t ventured that far out yet!
imagine if there was an OLED screen upgrade for this though!
Wow! That would be wicked!
How about the yellow arrow buld turn into blue??
You can change them to any colour!
Do you know what the number is for the cup holder bulb?
I sadly do not! Sorry!
how did you transfer mile in km ?
It is a Canadian vehicle!
what aftermarket radio do you have?
I have an ATOTO S8MS. There’s a recent review on the channel!
@@looseaxles thank you man. i’m about to buy a 2005 4 runner and i need bluetooth

@@looseaxles will do. do you have a video of beginner noob mods to do
Whats the price?
T4Rewired on Facebook/Instagram.
I cant find that mod kit on the page
Message him on socials!
I thought the reverse screen is just flipping the screen and that will do
Hahah! If only!
Idk about the toyota, but on my FZ07 that worked. Theyre both LCD and polarizers so i imagine the concept is the same. Just have to replace the glue
Orange all the way. Way easier on your eyes at night.
I’ve preferred the white, but I can definitely see the appeal for orange 🤙🏻
That is disgusting how sick that looks. With a white 06 this would look awesome in mine.
Right!! It’s a wicked change. Well worth it!
@@looseaxles I was just looking at his FB page, and I’m going to have to send my cluster in. It just looks too awesome in reverse polarity
That was a lot of work for a 20yr old truck.
It would be even more on a newer one!
Yha...I'm not doing that..
Haha good thing nobody’s forcing you!
@@looseaxles Haha..Honestly, I'm just a bit jealous.

You gotta… FOOOOCCCCUUUSSSSSS
hahahaha FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS
Just turn off auto-focus, focus manually, and then leave it alone. Other than that, great content!
@@SMShannon55I unfortunately had my camera and lense fall 6 feet off a ledge before filming this and was still fighting the effects of the broken focus system internally
"Sorry i want to make sure i do this in focus"
*immediately does it off camera*
Smh dude
🌶️
orange and red are better for night driving not that white crap ive replaced the light bulbs dont need this eye blinding crap
All personal preference. It’s actually tamer on the eyes in my opinion.
Lame
I know you are but what am i
