Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[dr. d]

My 2008 Innova instrument panel light bulb (behind the thermostat knob) got busted. It is just a small light bulb and have inquired in some banawe shop but they don't have a similar one. Any shops that you know of that has this kind of light bulb? It is more like a very small led pinlight. Thank you.

if yours is like mine,
it's a tiny incandescent-type peanut glass bulb, mounted on a plastic (bakelite?) base. i already walked half of banawe and many other auto supply stores for such. wala.
but it is easily available from the casa, where they sell it for an obnoxious amount of 350 or 700 bucks apeace, i forget which. i bought several.
for some reason, over the years, my innova already busted three of them.
my replacement bulb is in the ashtray beside it. but tinatamad na akong mag-kabit, ulit. baka mapundi ulit, eh. heh heh.

if you do not know how, yet (but i suspect, you already know how),
the how-to instructions are in youtube. the most difficult part, is twisting the old one out, and twisting the new bulb, in. it's a bayonet mount. it's not difficult, if you don't have the hulk's hands.
good luck.

Take a picture. From there we can guess if it is the T4.2 bulb which is the common bulb, easily replaced with a T5 bulb. Or the T3 bulb that is mlre difficult to source.

If it is the T3 bulb, shopee is your friend. I bought a pack from shopee since i canf buy just 1 pc.

The 1st gen Innova 3rd brake light is a T15 or W16W peanut bulb (12, 16W).

better to have a ruler in the picture.
there are at least two near-identical models, differing only in size. i made the mistake of buying what i already suspected as the other size. "mura lang". 100 kesos. i thought i could switch/replace bases. but i was mistaken.
best is to have the busted bulb on hand, for comparison.

i eventually surrendered to the casa, whereupon i purchased $everal piece$.

I attached the photos of the bulb it is approximately 1.3cm in length.

That's too much for a tiny bulb at casa. I will just have it replaced upon my upcoming pms at the shop although I know it is easy and doable if diy. I will check shoppee as advised by sirkosero just need the exact model number for this type of light bulb.

May iba iba kasing kulay akong nakikita sa online shops so dapat po red ang kunin ko no?

Kahit yung walang kulay na bulb. Since red cover naman yan.
