Supra-love Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) I believe they are T4.2 bulbs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-T3-T4-2-T4-7-Wedge-LED-Dashboard-Lamp-Panel-Bulb-Car-Instrument-Light-UK-h1-/402908434782?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Edited August 21, 2021 by Supra-love (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 The Toyota p/n is 84999-70009 with 5 bulbs total in the unit. I bought a set in 2017 for £29.60 + VAT + delivery. The bulb specs are 14V & 1.54W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just concerned that being LED they will be too bright and won't match the rest of my dash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyJax Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) I replaced some of these blown bulbs a few years ago with some grain of wheat bulbs from Maplins at a fraction of Mr T's price. I simply pulled the old bulb out of the holder and replaced with a new bulb.You have to do some fiddling about to push the wires through the small holes of the holder though,then just swap the green caps over.

Thanks Andy, that sounds like a really good option. I think my local Maplin closed down but I’ll have a look on Amazon for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
