Bulb # of the shift selector

Post by Whelan »

I swear this has been covered before, but what is the bulb type or # for that one little bulb that sits under the PRND2L shifter. I put a red vinyl under the lettering last night cause I was tired of the fugly green and orange it gave off. So now the selector dot lights up red, as do the letters to match the interior HVAC and gauges. I want to get the LED version of the bulb in red so I need to know the type to order it. That will make it nice and bright.

I was at it last night, haha not with my fiance though LOL!You have to carefully pry the little plastic piece between the shift handle and the plastic selector guide. The pop out the plastic. It's the only way I can get at it. I may have to call Yota and see what size/type it is.

Quick phone call revealed the Toyota #, then some online searching for the replacements.Toyota Part # 90069-98004Sylvania Part is a #74 bulb. So any #74 bulb will fit, superbrightleds.com has #74 bulbs! woohoo!Oh and for the record, that is the bulb in most of your HVAC controls so keep it handy!

Will do, I actually may have Devin from the Xenonstore make me a custom setup. Since 1 LED may not be enough, I may get a 3-4" board with 3 LEDs on it to disperse the light better, but with a plug in to the stock socket and some double tape. mmmmm.
