You talking about in the cubby? To get that light out, you have to take it out from behind the waterfall. There are threads here about swapping it.

EDIT: Here you go. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...ht=cubby+light

Yeah, go there ^. It's just a tiny little LED that sits in a hole.

It's MAD easy to take that stuff out. Just take the shift **** off, pull out the cig lighter then lightly pull the shifter trim out. Then to get the bigger piece, just feel for a little crease in the cubby and if you pull that forward a bit it will pop out of place some, then you can just wiggle it out. It's easier to do it with the radio door closed. Then putting it back in, it will slide right in with no resistance, so if it's hard to push, something is in the way.

Or just reach around behind (next to the footwell) and pull it out. It comes out the back.

And superbrightleds.com has the direct led replacement for it in various colors.

I've done the LED swap twice, but I'm really not that comfortable doing it for someone else yet, plus I don't have a supply of LEDs. I might be doing someones from North Brunswick, so maybe if that goes well I'll be willing to do some local ones. I don't do HVACs tho lol, can't do that LCD.
