How do I replace backlight on AC subassembly - Toyota Yaris Forums

thanks for the quick reply. this whole process just seems complicated to just replace a led light. I know the yaris is a cheap car, but I have never had an instrument cluster light ever fail on any vehicle I've ever owned, but it sounds like it's common on the yaris. And it sounds like you have to disassemble the whole dash and risk blowing fuses to just replace a simple led. I guess you have to completely disassemble the dash, take out the lights, reassemble dash, drive to auto parts store to see if they have the bulbs, buy more fuses in case you put the bulb in wrong and blow fuses, drive back home, disassemble the dash again, try to install bulbs and reassemble everything.

i think i'll just keep a small flashlight in my car to see the gauges at night.
