Re replacement bulbs for the dash, T5, T3 i ordered assorted sets from Shopee intended for my Gen 1 Vios "sana". Since last year nasa drawer pa rin.

better bring yours to the shop na lang doc. chill ka lang while they restore your dash lights.

BTW, just went on a 250km loop over the weekend using the innova occasionally flooring the pedal when overtaking and on long stretches. when i went to clean the engine bay, noticed a good amount of damp oil around the inlet hose of the throttle body. it's probably normal blowby but is it excessive already? did any of you added an oil catch can to your innovas?

i do not know the cost.
but perusing carousell, the range is 8.5K to 12.5K.

but i am wondering,
why you think it should be replaced?
my compressor is over 15 years old and over 140K km old, and it still compresses fine.

What kind of strange sound? How about when idle?

is it sounds like squeaking noises at the compressor?

the more strange part is that you're only having the issue while at cruising speed. one effect i had with the innova's fan clutch losing silicon fluid (at around 95K odo), is that the AC gets overly pressurized making the compressor work harder resulting for it to produce some kind of a whining noise. AC could also be low on PAG oil but the sound it made was close to low whining.

however, when cruising, noise disappears and everything seems normal. and that was because the condenser has now more air blowing on it relieving the pressure from the compressor. may need to make sure the noise doesn't come up even while parked, whether at rev, or idle as Deestone asked earlier.
