Ash tray light, Eeehh Options

[Seztor]

Hi

To you guys that got the 74 out of the ash tray, WTF did you use :X??
Hope some one can help me

[stetsonaw]

i pulled the bezel off the shifter, moved my shift boot aside and reached back there. only other way i can think of is to pull the center console up.

[garin]

yeah if you take the shifter trim out reach under the console and it should twist out.

[stetsonaw]

provided he has a manual tranny

[brk34]

pulling out the center console isn't that hard just make sure not to loose any bolts or screws

[Seztor]

I got it out
Thx for the info. Stupid bulb

Do u swap with a white led one instead... much brighter than stock... I serve the Ashtray as coin cointainer since I am a non-smoker, that little bulb help a bit to search coins ...

I put an blue led instead. But i think i will change it later with a white instead.
I also use it to coins hehe =)

I didn't even know there was a light in there, guess mine's busted...I'll look for it.

x2 using it as a coin holder, I'll never smoke in my car.

[Seztor]

Hehe its also tiny

[CelicaST_CALI]

theres a light in the ash tray??mine doesnt have that

[RickJamesBish]

There's not one in mine either...

[Batman722]

there is, the bulb is just out.

[RickJamesBish]

But is it in the tray itself or under? There's no wires going into the tray nor is there a light under it...or are you talking about the one in the rear?

[samir0189]

if you remove the tray rjb, and look closely you will see that there is a clear window on the rear facing side of it. Then, look through the hole where the ash tray sits and look for where the clear window would line up with in there, you'll see it, probably has the nasty green thing on it still. The best way to change it really though is by taking out the whoel console so you don't break any of the aging plastic clips.

i used q-tips to massage the bulb out. replaced it with it a green one.

x2. I just had my console out a few days ago, installing a new light in the storage compartment. It makes life a whole lot easier to take 5 minutes to undo 2 screws and 2 bolts and take the console out then try to work with it where you can't see it.

[RickJamesBish]

Aight, thanks guys.

[Seztor]

Rick:

Did you find your bulb ?
Or do you want me to take a picture mate ?

[RickJamesBish]

Haven't checked yet, I'm sure I'll be able to find it.

[6GenCircleLghts]

You people need to start taking pictures and uploading them. Cuz most people have no idea of what you're talking about. Even though it is hilarious to read, it would be just better with photos.

But yea I had a light too, but then it stopped working when I took out the middle console to hose it down, cuz it was dirty.

[CelicaST_CALI]

no wait i found mine!!!i have one WOOOHOOO

[Seztor]

Does the half of the time its on = night time or early morning? Both this and the passenger glovebox light only turns on when the parking and/or headlights are on

[jordisonjr]

No i drive around with my lights on all the time, i like my HID's

[samir0189]

ooooh, lol. Well maybe the bulb just needs replacing cause it's shorting out (one of my 194's from my cluster used to work half of the time... a good smacking used to wake him up though ), and if that fails, try looking at the socket and wherever the wire heads back to [somewhere in the depths of the dash..]

[jordisonjr]

How do you go about getting that damn thing out of there?

[Seztor]

[njccmd2002]

just pull em out. yours might be stuck by time

[trdproven]

I changed my bulb out but it still doesn't work, I gotta test the wiring. It did work for like a 1 day though.

[njccmd2002]

the vertical angle sucks for led, i converted mine into horizontal angle...
