In this video I fix the problematic climate control bulbs in the 4th Gen 4Runner. These are incandescent bulbs and with the 4th gen 4runner getting to be the age it is, the bulbs are due for replacement. There are various part numbers that I show and all genuine Toyota bulbs as well. I also take you through the process of removal of the panel and replacement of each bulb. I purchased my bulbs at my local Toyota dealership after ordering online at autoparts.toyota.com which gave me the best price. There is an option on Amazon, which I linked above, that does claim to be genuine Toyota but have noted some of the reviews wondering if that were indeed true. They definitely look legitimate but I have never ordered them so I just don't know. I did link them above, with an associate link, to give you the option.

Thats one of the first things I did on my 4runner, but now im putting blue LEDs on radio/hvac. Im going to do the gauge cluser a bright midnight blue, but it requires soldering, so i have to be careful with that one

[@1RoadGarage]

That sounds like a good project. 👍

[@branzfactor81]

I just replaced mine on my 08 and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was.

[@LucasFilipes]

Excellent video as always. Removing this panel is very easy, very good for maintenance. It would be nice if there was the option of installing LED bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs, but these bulbs are very specific.

[@stevec5657]

That's so cool that the new owner even commented on this video 😀

[@jobo560]

nice!!! thanks for this video. will be doing this!! like the oldschool incandescent look as well. not too bright. just the right light output

[@shanekauffman8649]

Loving the new videos. I'm in search of a 4runner myself right now. So I'm pickup some new tricks. Thanks

[@1RoadGarage]

Nice. Make sure you watch a few KZbin vids to be sure what to watch out for. One of the biggest issues with the 4th gen 4Runner is frame rot/rust. They are VERY prone to rotting out. There’s also some engine related issues such as the secondary air injection system which can be very pricey if not repaired by yourself. I believe the go to channel to watch is called “The Car Care Nut”. (I think…) 👍

[@ED-ti5tc]

Nice!

[@keidos]

I have exactly the same problem om my 08 4runner looks the same didn't know there was a fix for this problem!

[@1RoadGarage]

Sweet! Hope it inspires you to fix yours.

[@BlazingFaith1945]

Whenever I i fix something on my older 4runner i always try to make it better, an upgrade

[@user-fg5rv3fd6r]

Right it may be a little bit more expensive for Led bulbs but they would probably outlive the car

[@khh6243]

Since you've changed all those bulbs, you should also change out the bulbs for the Hazard light switch and the Tailgate window switch. When those go out, you really cannot see the switches at night!

[@farrispatton]

Good job Babe!

[@afonsocarneiro]

amazing content, I watched every second of it, even do it is completely useless for me :)

[@kc0lif]

you got a Toyota too wow.

[@gnome-ski]

lol i changed out a bulb on my ac climate control panel a few months ago spent $14 on a oem bulb and i swear it was burnt out again less than a month. was a pain in the butt getting that part out from the dash too, ill just live with it not working.

[@1RoadGarage]

Darn. Was it definitely the correct bulb?

[@busyboy7635]

How do you know how to do all this diffrent stuff on a vehicle you have never owned? For example disassembly of the control unit from the dash? Do you buy a Haynes or similar type of book?

[@1RoadGarage]

It’s all pretty self explanatory but I DO, definitely, watch a few KZbin vids before hand to be sure how things come apart so I don’t break anything. 😉

I replaced the ac/heater lights with 74 led lights color cool white. Will change the dashboard cluster which takes 194 and 74. The 194s will be cool white the 74s will be a warm white. Will also change the console light to a 194 cool white led. The glovebox takes a 74 will change to a cool white. My Sony stereo radio has leds in it.. the ignition switch was also changed to led cool white. The dome light takes a 4618 led bulb. It was changed to a Sylvania plain led bulb. Led bulbs were bought from Super Bright Led company. The outside lights around the Camry are from Sylvania Zevo Super Bright leds. The headlights are Oracle lighting V Series. They have no fan for which I like. The things I can't change are clock, hazard, cigarette lighter, and master switch light on driver side door.. the vehicle is a 2000 Camry LE. From the way the 4 Runner lights looked they looked like 74s. I have put in the leds myself. I live one state up from you in Kentucky. Enjoy your Toyota 4 Runner.

[@stevenfancher7308]

You also can use white led lights to make it more up dated. You won’t have that orange color. I wish I could send a pic of mine.

[@1RoadGarage]

I’ve seen that. Pretty cool! Personally, I’m into the factory look. I like the old school way. 🤙

You could always wear surgical gloves and touch them all you want.
