Then, use a flathead screwdriver or a trim removal tool to carefully pry off the panel, starting from the edges to avoid damage. Once loose, gently lift the panel upward to detach it from the console, being mindful of any connected wiring. Finally, disconnect any electrical connectors if necessary before fully removing the panel.

Last year when I aksed the Toyota dealership how to replace the shift panel lights in my Echo, they said you had to remove the whole shift panel and it would cost over $100 for labor costs. :(
To replace the bulb in the shift control of a Toyota Sienna, first, ensure the vehicle is in park and turn off the ignition. Remove the center console cover by carefully prying it up, then locate the bulb socket behind the shift lever. Twist the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it, replace the old bulb with a new one, and reassemble the console by reversing the removal steps. Make sure everything is securely in place before starting the vehicle.

The ECO Light on a Toyota Sienna comes on when in light acceleration. It holds the Transmission Shift points longer to give the Sienna better fuel economy. under moderate to hard acceleration the ECO light will go off and the transmission will have very quick shift points.

If you have a console shift then there are 4 screws that holds the polished panel on. Remove them and there are 2 more that hold the shift panel in. turn it upside down and disconnect it.
