    Hey gang
    I just noticed the lights on the vent control does not come on. The normal light when at night so you can see the controls of vent speed. It individual light comes on like lo, medium, high when push but it off otherwise. How do you replace it? It's OCD in me

    I don't have a 4th gen...but...

    https://thetrackahead.com/projects/...e-control-dash-lights-4th-gen-toyota-4runner/

    On my 3rd gen the bulbs are about the same, and I tried LEDs and they mostly worked. I had to do the job twice because half of them I got in backwards and LEDs are picky like that. Plus one refused to stay lit...and would randomly come on and off.

    I gave up and bought TOYOTA bulbs from an online TOYOTA dealer and they worked flawlessly the first time.
