How do you replace an instrument light in a 2001 Toyota Corolla?

Answer 1

You need to take any plastic switches or buttons out of the way and then using a screwdriver, take every screw out that is holding the dashboard in place..be sure to remember where everything goes so when you put it back you won't forget anything. Once you take the instrument display off (screws hold into the bezel) there are little light bulbs that simply pull out..locate the burned out bulb and replace it...

• Note

Check all fuses before you take anything apart because it also could be a burned out fuse

Does this process work as well with a 1997 Corolla?

I found 4 screws on my 1997 (2 in the top of the instrument console) and 2 near the bottom of the center instrument panel, but that didn't seem to get me anywhere.

I still couldn't remove the panel and replace the bulb.
