Gotta say, amazing detail on the screw/bolt positioning, and part numbers..... you might be the most thorough DIY youtuber out there with your editing and completeness of every small detail. well done.

I agree, very direct and to the point and the type of light bulbs used are going to make a big difference on the truck
Clear, concise, and no fluff.....thank you.
Thanks for this, man. At 3:50, when reassembling it seems like the vent connections can get disconnected so it’s good to make sure they’re both together before you screw the first few covers back on.
I love the step by step and showing where everything is. Thank you!
Paul, Thank You SO MUCH!!!! I have been trying to replace these dash lights for years. I’d make a little progress and then end up putting everything back together. After a few times of doing this I got pretty discouraged and haven’t tried since. I watched your FANTASTIC tutorial and NOW I’m finally confident that I can get this done. You Rock!!!! Best Regards, Jeff Goodson
This is amazing for us visual learners! Keep it up!
Best video I’ve seen yet, easy step by step detail with arrows, don’t have to look anywhere else, perfect video, thank you very much
Seen 4 Videos about this and gotta say this is the best one! To the point and also well explained! Thanks now I can do my dads truck
I put some of this lights in my 1999 western star, my goodness what a difference. Very bright lights.
Incredibly helpful. Thank you VERY much!
Great video👍👍👍 I replaced the bulbs in mine and made a big difference. Just a little bit harder, due to the fact I have a automatic. Just had to move the shifter a few time to get the dash out and in. Video was a big help.
very easy walkthrough step by step🙌🏽
Hey!!! He’s back!!!! Just bought a clean 2dr rav4 and I love it! Good stuff!
My light adjustor nob connector was almost impossible to take out. I didn't want to rip it out and the plastic is pretty old so I had to be careful. The cluster was hard to take out because my taco has a the shifter located on the steering wheel since it's an automatic. It took me 1 extra hour to do this job but by God I did it and now I have a blue color to my lights. It's worth it lol

Love your videos. Also I see the headlights are a bit yellowed in the front I just used a Sylvania headlight restore kit on my 03 Camry and it made them look good as new. Great restoration product.

"Passenger airbag" light can be replaced too?
Can you do a video changing the light from the ash tray and the storage compartment on the right
Those bulbs fit a 96 tacoma also?
You are so great 6:09
Great video, thank you!! By the way do you still have the part # for that AC Heater control panel/bezel? Thanks in advance.
will those dashboard LEDs fit in the slots for the gear indicators/warning lights etc? the D light on my 98 tacoma is out and I want to just make the whole dash LED

I haven't replaced them, so I don't know for sure. My guess is they'll be the smaller T5 size. I don't recommend using LED for indicator lights because the indicators will all be the wrong color.
is there anyway to take the glass off the dash cover for cleaning?
@LabCoatPaul

It's plastic, not glass. The instrument cluster is sealed, so there shouldn't be any dirt inside it. If you need to clean it, remove the gauges from the truck, and the cover is held on with a few screws.
5VZ engine?
what did you press to turn the lights off and on at 3:19

Probably the headlights on and off toggle on the stalk lever

I'm taking a break from the RAV4 and finishing a few other projects. I should get back to the RAV4 by the end of the year.
1999 taco here 200k, never replaced these lights and they still work. I would never tell anyone to wasted money on this. Not sure why you are. But hey, just my opinion

I like the green color of the LEDs, but you're right. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
