    Welcome aboard! Push the tops of your two dash vents in or pull them out and you will see a screw in each, remove them. Next use your fingers to pull out the climate control knobs. Behind them there will be screws to remove as well. After the screws are removed you should be able to work the shroud out by gently prying around the perimeter. The lights are super easy to replace and this won't take you three hours to do yourself.

    Sorry about not saying thanks sooner. You guys are great. I'm new to tundras. This is my late step dads truck he bought new In 2000 . its only hot 122000 miles on it so I'm trying to keep it maintained. I will post a pic on a few days when I find more time. Thanks again and I will post my report when I get the bulbs changed. All the way from Eugene
    C-Ya.
