    I just got a taco and at night I noticed some of the buttons are hard to see. Is their a way to change the bulbs to led and if so what size are they. I’m talking about like the fog light button,atrac,rear diff, etc button. I’m new to Toyota period so any help would be appreciated. 2014 Tacoma trd

    Did you use the dimmer dial to the left of the steering wheel?

    Not being rude, but when was your last eye exam?

    Small print and night vision were my first hints that it was time for me.

    Legit question.
    I know i drive at night with the console lights almost off in order to maximize night vision on the road.
    My girl has to turn hers up more and is indeed nightblind in 1 eye to an extent

    I've got an 06 access cab. Those things light up? How about the volume buttons on steering wheel? I can't see how they would .

    Hmm figured as much. Wonder how they'd react to carefully brushed on glow in the dark paint. You can see them at night. I know em by feel of course .

    Probably the same way most printed on buttons react to the oils on our skin and grubby french fry grease laden paws..... itll rub off quickly i bet
