Dashboard Illumination

[ripspeedtimmy]

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone knows about changing the dashboard illumination on a corolla E10, i recently noticed when changing a set of clocks that they are illuminated by what looks like capless bulbs... as in the ones u normally get on sidelights, just wondering if anyone knows if they are the same bulbs. I am looking to change them all to blu or red led's, Also does anyone know where the lights are that illuminate the centre console, heater controls etc etc, i took the top half of the console out but could not see anything. All help appreciated, cheers ppl!

The dashboard lights are W5W, unless you have the clocks with the voltmeter, in which case it's W5Ws and one W2.3W... Heater controls are a W1.2W (might be a), and illumination of other buttons is by way of tiny bulbs in each button (hazard, rear windscreen demister, rear foglamp, central locking, headlight adjustment) available only from Toyota. Oh, and if you have an automatic transmission, the illumination of the gearchange is also W5W.

You could always buy the special interior light bulb paint from Halfords, I did that on my car and the dash light are now blue.
