Question
the left side of the heater control has no illumination (defog, rear defog %26 off buttons.  have seen illustrations %26 photos and part number for bulbs (lexus #84999-60-360) but cant seem to find the bulbs themselves.

also the emergency flasher button is dark, would think this would be illuminated also.

don't want to disassemble dash to repair without the bulbs necessary to complete repairs.  cant seem to find any reliable info on this.

ANY assistance appreciated !


Answer
    I don't have any documentation on these bulbs.  They could be regular #194 bulbs like the rest of the dash, or they could be something unique to Lexus.  And, I'll be they are a bitch to change.  I would advise buying them from Lexus or Toyota and getting printouts of the exploded view diagrams showing how to get at them.  They should do that for you and the bulbs won't cost much.
