Auto gear shifter illumination?

[colmcork]

As the title suggests guys, are the various numbers/letters down beside my auto gear shifter supposed to be lit up? Sat into my soop last night and took notice for the first time that it was all in darkness, although the little 'manu' button was well lit up:)

Yes they should be lit up, i believe there is 1 bulb underneath which probably has a green condom style thing over it. You will need to remove that dash piece surround, it should be fairly obvious. 1 tip though, start by removing the ash try and i'm sure you will find a screw underneath that will need undoing first to get it out

There is no screw under the ash tray, but it is best to remove the ashtray first, easier that way. Just pull that panel off, no screws.

There are screws holding the gear shift assembly in place though, and you'll have to undo those too. Just make sure you don't drop 'em!

Not sure on the Supra but on on other big Toyotas (Soarer, Aristo) you slide a cover down on the base of the gearstick, remove 2 screws, lift off the stick and the panel is just clipped in place.

Cheers for the info guys, wont have any probs getting at it though, I'v had those panels off a few times already fitting new carpet and removing radio etc.
