  • Courtesy light located under armrest on door

    Hey all,

    Anyone tried removing the globe from the courtesy light located in the door under the armrest?

    I think my driver's door one has gone, and although I know its a small little piddly thing to be concerned about, I want to get it working.

    I can get the plastic cover off no worries but I don't know how to get the globe out. I have looked in the owner's manual with not much help. They mention in the manual that 'only a qualified Toyota technician' should change some of the globes, however its unclear if the courtesy light is one of those globes.

    Any help much appreciated.

    It's only a T10 wedge type bulb, it should pull straight out with your fingers or pull it gently with a pair of pliers or such.

          I replaced all my lights with LED's the first week I had it. They are T10 wedge from memory and come out very easily. The LED globes in the door are much brighter than the original light.

            Safe way to remove these globes is to use a piece of hose that just fits over the bulb, press it gently on then pull out the globe. I use a piece to remove globe in indicators on control panels, lot safer than using pliers or such like.

              Thanks for the info. Excuse my ignorance though, the T10 is a standard globe right? So I shouldn't have to go back to Toyota to source one? Just a decent auto shop?

                any number of shops will have them. Supercheap/autobarn/repco probably even a few department shops like big w, kmart or target as it's a pretty standard, used on most car as the park lights...

                or ebay if you wanna get some cheep LED's... quality is not always easy to find on there though..

                  I bought mine online. I think this was the place, but there are many others available. I am not a big fan of e-bay so I usualy buy from places within Australia that I can talk to on the phone is I need to.

                  If you look down the page you will see T10 globes.

                    could always trial the narva or phillips white or blue led upgrade option...


                    might have to look into getting the blue ledds fro th edoors and the whites for the parkers including the sovereign bar
