ac control night lights
FYI. I finally was able to reach the tiny ac control lights on es300. first i used a plastic small lever kit I got from crutchfield to remove the small dash cover above the cigarret ashtray. I could see the radio bolts on the bottom. I next pried off the air condition grill on top using the same lever . I could see the upper bolts on the radio. I remo ved the four bolts taking care not to drop them and the entire radio/ac dash came off. next i removed screws holding the bottom ac control section on both sides. i then pried out the control unit by removing four tiny screws on both sides first. finally I could see the green board behind the unit. all the little light bulbs are on this board and they twist off to be replaced. now the problem is to find them and buy them. autozone does not carry them. they carry slightly bigger bulbs that probably fit the gear shift area. this for future attempt. I hope this is useful for someone. seems like the hardest part of this job is figuring out how to remove the dash. thank you.
