    Wow, thank you for this video! Ours has been out for at least 10 years, and we haven't bothered to fix it. Now I'm going to try and fix it soon.

    '98-'02 is not that simple. You'd need to remove the whole center counsel to get to the bulb.

    @freecake1723 There's a bolt that's covered by the glovebox, so you'll have to start by removing it first. Then the cover beneath the steering wheel. Then there are some bolts inside the armrest. And so on...

    My 2001 requires removing the front console piece as the shifter plate is screwed down. The console trim has to be removed in order to get access to the bulb.

    The video here is for a 1997 Corolla. I looked at another video for a 1998 Corolla and it looks completely different. The video is called : Toyota Corolla shifter LED light replacement part 1 Since you have a 98 Corolla, can you comment on which video applies to your Corolla? The bulb placement in the 2 videos are completely different. And the way to access the bulb is also completely different. I'm asking cause I have 98 Corolla.

    So inarticulate with your instructions. You didn't say or show which direction to apply pressure to the plastic clips. Such as left , right, or up or down. They will easily break if pressure is applied in the wrong direction. Show us , and /or articulate the details. They are very important. Duh.
