    I'm a member of another forum regarding my other car, a 98 olds cutlass. This is a very common mod they do to those cars. Just buy the 1157 or whatever part# equivalent bulb fits the yota's dash and pop them in like normal. Then enjoy your new lights.

    alright but one more question the back of the instrument panel all the lights are twist lock type but the replacements are wedges so do the original bulbs come out of the twist lock?

    Alright I just put in two blue leds yesterday for my dash lights and I put everything back the way it was and im sure I did it right and now my speedo gauge isn't working. And coolant temp and fuel are reading maximum. Can't find anything and I don't wanna take it apart again. Any help guys??

    make sure everything is plugged in, no way to fix it unless you take it back out
