Dash Bulbs Behind Heater Etc

[nightrunner99]

Hi all,

was wondering if anyone can help with this ( I have just gone through 50 pages of questions on here and could not find an answer, If I have missed it please accept my apologies)

I have an 06 plate Avensis 2.0 D-4D Colour collection 5 door Hatchback, and all 4 of the bulbs behind the heater / vent have blown

the bulbs from toyota are 3x T90011-11040 (Black) and 1xT90011-11041 (Grey)

the cost of these bulbs is £24.24 from Toyota

I have read through various sites and believe that the three black bulbs can be replaced with Guardian bulb 286T (Perhaps someone more technically minded than myself could confirm this) but can find no other bulb to replace the grey one (11041)

Is this a different bulb or could it just be replaced with the Guardian bulb as well

many thanks in advance for your help

Those bulb are sometimes used with rubberised sheaths which provide the chosen colour. These can, with care, be swapped over to the replacement clear bulbs.

yes, the ones in mine are covered in yellow sheaths
