- This is a very long video, sorry. I was trying to cover as many details as possible and do as little un-necessary talking as possible. It is a good idea to disconnect the battery when working on these electronics, I didn't disconnect the battery as I had the car running, it was -13 outside when I did this video. Also, Sorry for the spotty video, it was snowing out today and I got some moisture on the lens. Hope this helps you change your bulbs. Putting it back together was a breeze. Just align your clips and push them back into place.
Keep a magnet handy so you don't lose any screws or clips... they'll fall under the dash and you never know if and when you see them again. They'll probably drop out eventually! Use a magnet! Much easier!
Testing all the bulbs is a great idea, once you have your displays out, pull the lenses off and clean them. There is a bit of dirt in the Multi function display because the buttons let it in. It is a good time to check all your bulbs and clean the lenses.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! If anyone is curious, the replacement part for a check engine light bulb for a 2000 Avalon is a Dorman 639-042
Thanks
Thanks! Very helpful if I ever have a burned out bulb in my dash. When I replace one, I always replace them all, since it is already apart. It is a drag to replace one, then a week later another bulb burns out
I agree, I wonder what the total number is, any idea?
@@desiderious1 If faced with this task, I would try and find a dashboard assembly diagram so I could count them. That's what I did when I replaced the dash lights on my Mercury Villager many years ago. There were only two or three that still worked! I looked them up, and also counted them when I had the dash panel out. It was actually pretty easy with a Villager. Avalon looks like a total PIA just to get to the bulbs.
Awesome instructional video! I've got about 3 bulbs out on mine. Thanks for putting this together.
You're very welcome. I am so glad it helped... man, CZcams is a wonderful place to learn!
Thank you!! You’re video made this job, dare I say enjoyable. Just get a good trim puller kit and it was easy. Didn’t break or lose anything.
For those of us with an XL, to get to the odometer and clock bulbs you must disassemble the center piece. You must remove the front clear panel, the back panel and unscrew the circuit board. There’s a ribbon cable on the back that must be pulled out first. It just pulls out. I used a flathead to gentle pry it out once the board is out, the bulb location becomes apparent.
how many bulbs did you need for the odometer and clock?
Thank you for the info.
Thanks for the video. This doesnt look too bad, i need to pull my abs and vsc bulbs in my car. Might try it this weekend
I have to do this also. Thanks for the video. Now I won't have to break any trim pieces trying to figure it out. LOL
Thank you Sir!... Your video is still helpful in 2022!!!... Cheers!!!
Dorman 639-042 are the right dudes... thanks!
You are amazing I'm 80 year's old and if I could bend and twist I would do this myself hahahahahahaha but I think the drive light can still stay out but THANK YOU
Thanks for the vid! This helped me not break clips pulling it apart
Thank you for posting this informative video.
As of this posting it is the only one that covers the 2000-04 Toyota Avalon of which I have a 03.
Two questions for you, what is the bulb number for the dash lights and how many in total are there?
I want to replace all of mine at once even though some are still good, so I do not have to pull the dashboard off again for several years to replace the bulbs.
Thanks, and keep up the great work. 👍
Thank you for making this video! Very helpful.
This video help me a ton. Thank you
I'm glad it helped you. I love youtube for that reason... people helping people!
You're welcome, glad to help!
hi my name is Lilly I have the same car and I was watching your video how to change the gate light and I want to know if go to people house and do the auto work I could do it anyway I like the way you give instructions
Followed your video, excellent instructions btw. Odometer and outside temp still dark. Doesn’t appear to have any bulbs behind them. Any suggestions?
Would be nice if it was designed to be able to remove the driver cluster without having having to remove the right and center panels. Thanks for the video - plan on changing a bulb out behind my fuel gauge soon on my '01.
Thank you for making this 👍🏾
Great vid! thanks! any info on the multi info display. Mine keeps resetting after i turn the car off. its very annoying sense it displays time etc. any info on how to fix?
Wow! Thank you so much. You just saved me hundreds of dollars. Great Video!
You're very welcome. I am so glad it helped... man, CZcams is a wonderful place to learn!
@@garrball1540 what light bulb do I need to replace the check engine light? I asked the advanced auto store and they werent sure/didn't hvae anything in stock for my 2002 toyota avalon
Can someone answer this for me are all those bulbs like the engine light and the tire pressure light the same bulb?
How do you know which bulb is which? They're not labeled or anything
Thanks for posting. This was a big help.
My pleasure! That's what it's all about... helping each other learn! Take care!
Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you
You're quite welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great Video! Thank You !
Where do you purchase those plastic trim remover tools? I cannot find them anywhere.
Appreciate the video, it’s exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!
Can you please the model #’s for the bulbs and are using LED’s advisable?
I just picked mine up at toyota but someone below said the Dorman 639-042 works. Good luck thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. Where did you get your lights and what are the sizes or part numbers?
Just go to toyota and get your bulbs. They're the standard dash bulb, your dealer will know, sorry I don't have the part numbers for these.
Who can help I have a 2000 avalon only one brake ligth works the other one dont I changed the bulb still no luck
What size bulbs are they?.
Size of bulb?
Could you use led bulbs for different colors?
Hi there ! That’s exactly I wanna do with mines..I wonder if you were able to do yours!?
@@mikeymikey9713 yes I was able to do everything from the cluster to the lights behind the AC controls and shift light
XSpyder_ XxProdigyx awesome!! That’s good news as I wanna replace them all for a light blue or white color to give it a better good looking dashboard and AC lights...Thanks for answer,man!! 👍👍
Np, definitely recommend the t5 lights that have lights on 3 sides to have even lighting, pack of 10 ice blue lights from Amazon is what I recommend
Where can I buy the replacement bulbs
I got mine from Toyota... I looked elsewhere but couldn't find them. Toyota bulbs lasted 20 years... I figure that's pretty good!
@@garrball9205how much did Toyota charge you for the bulbs?
I have searched for rear brake light replacement on a 2000 Avalon without any success. Would you create a video on this?
It is a pretty simple process... it's covered in your owners manual. Mine has a subwoofer, pull the whole assembly toward the front of the car to disengage the clips, then tilt it upward to get it all the way out. Hope this helps.
I have a 2000 Toyota but my dashboard is different from yours could i put that dashboard in mines please hit me back
Hello, I think I know what you're talking about... the XLS has the extra display in the middle. Sometimes cars come pre wired for other options but I can't say for sure as I don't know anything but my model. I guess the wires could be taped behind ready to go but you'd have to take a look for it. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.
@@garrball1540 wait can i put that 03 grill on my 2000
@@praiseyah4ever1 If it works could you please post an answer. I'm very curious as well.... Good luck with it!
@@garrball1540 i will but also i want u to beat me too it
I did it on a 2003 Avalon xl and it works. Just make sure all the plugs are the same. You will have to calibrate the compass and reprogram the odometer to show the mileage in your vehicle though.
