ED. Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Well, this evening I got bored and took aprt the whole shifter/astray/cupholder assembly. I cleaned up the springs and all the other parts so now it opens eaisly. If yours sticks at all just take it out and clean. It really is a must. Anyway, I forgot that the lights that illuminate the TRAC button and seat heaters have gone out. I took them out and and I realized how small they are. Would my dealer have those little bulbs? I can't find the part number though. All I can say is they are very small and green. Anyone know? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED. Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Also, does the radio come straight out? I can see the two bolts that hold it in but I am afraid that I might set off an alarm and cause the radio to no longer function. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake918 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Would my dealer have those little bulbs? I can't find the part number though. ← For future reference, the dealer can special order any part you want; ex. My local dealer never gave me any trouble when I'd go in there, and they would have to special order little screw covers or other random things that probably no one else would care about on old Lexus cars.
