"d" Light Replacement In Dash

[pauljcl]

I found the following detailed description of 'how to replace the "d" light":

It is excellent in its detail, but:

1. I did not know how to disconnect the instrument cluster light 'dimmer' from the trim, so I left it on and just twisted the black trim to the left (with the dimmer) out of the way;

2. you don't need to disconnect the three connectors to the cluster, nor do you need to remove the (white) back of the cluster: by twisting it 'ingeniously' you can access the bulbs and change them.

3. Further down in the website above, they give the part number for the bulb, and discuss a number of prices. I ordered mine at a Toyota dealer (the number 'translated' correctly), and the bulb cost just over $5.

4. It took less than 30mns to change. Works fine now.

Next thing to work on: cleaning the IACV ! The instructions of this (lexusownersclub) site seem very complete.
