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.
You should clean it while you have it apart

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.

Another thing is somebody in the comment section of that video said that a 194 bulb is way too big and that you need a 74 bulb. So confused.

158 for this, 194 for my dash lights.
So, those 4 plastic clips... How do you pry them out without breaking them? It would be nice to see that part.

Use masking tape. Take an 8 inch piece or so and wrap around half the bulb then pull on tape to pull out.
mate if you already did everything whats the purpose of making the video then
Its not coming out for me i head it screws on?

The bulb is somewhat deep seated in the socket, just have to hold onto the bulb with some firmness and gently pull the bulb out. Anymore questions I’m happy to answer 👍
Will this work on a 96 corolla as well?

Good question to be able to turn on the light of the shifter, near the steering you have to turn the knob for the headlights and it should also light up the dash with the shifter. If you have anymore questions happy answer👍
apparently on the 98 model this was too simple for Toyota
Doesn’t with this way on a Toyota Corolla 2002 LE

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.
really useless tutorial when you can barely explain what to do lol
