    Also use quality bulbs and not some cheap ones that will burn out in a year or two and then you have to pull out the dash again.

    E74 for the small ones and 194 for the larger ones

    I have used CEC with no issues, but you can buy Sylvania bulbs if there is a tech gap on incandescent bulbs.

    Bulb covers can be changed to you color red, blue or green. Mine were green so I went back to that.

    Have some fun with it, do some research. Between Tacoma and 4runner forums, there is a ton of info out there.

    OK I just replaced the bulbs in my instrument cluster and now nothing will light up. Any idea what to check?

    Lift, custom front and rear bumpers with winch, and skid plate
    Is this the size for all of them or just the ones for behind the speedometer and odometer?

    Also this is the cluster for a manual 4x4 right?
