All dash lights:

Greetings,
I am new here but have read some great advice already.
I have several lamps out in my dash (2005 Tundra) and have read the threads on what bulbs to use to change them but haven't come across how to open the dash to gain access to them. Can someone point my in the right direction on how to get to them?

Much thanks!

 

I watched a youtubes vid and now I’m a pro at it. You should start there as there are some nuisances to the area around the ignition key that can only be explained in video. Once you do it you’ll understand. You’ll probably be in there several times to get everything proper.

 

As PHM said, there are numerous youtube videos. Each and everyone have their plusses and minuses but thru those you'll get the jest of the task at hand.

Few things that worked well for me since I was in no hurry....poof can happen if not careful.
1) key in ACC, gear selector to L....you'll see why when removing cluster and meter
2) unhook neg of battery but not absolutely necessary
3) while some don't, I chose to remove the Lower Finish Panel due to what one will find when removing the cluster finish panel, key area tricky. Also because the dog gone FSM says to
4) magnetic phillips driver/tip not necessary but helps somewhat on combination meter.
5) if changing to LED's and bulb does not work when testing after install, turn bulb and/or socket around....polarity sensitive on some of the bulbs.
6) Good Luck
