Replace gear shifter bulb 1998 corolla - 1998 Toyota Corolla

Are all your gear indicators correctly lit on the shifter? On my car the continual heat of the shifter bulb over the years damaged the plastic holding the bulb socket so that the bulb and socket fell straight down and ended up in the carpet under the shifter, with the hot bulb in the carpet causing the burning smell. The fix? Take the console apart to access the bulb, replace the bulb with an LED one with no heat to speak of, then use electrical tape to hold the bulb and socket in the damaged hole in the console, then reassemble the console.

That is a very tough bulb to replace. Once you get the center console pieces out of the way there should be a couple of screws or blots that hold down the trim around the gear shift. Remove those and lift gentley. You will barley be able to access the bulb. but it can be done.

He's asking about the (Transmission) SHIFTER light bulb IN THE CAR you ****!! Not the headlight! Can't stupid people READ!!??? Quote: "Shifter light bulb burned."

If it's a flood shift under the pad where it reads P-R-N-D-2-1 will be a small light bulb under that, your will have to remove the shell to get to it, not very hard job to do.

ok, this is a little tricky, open the cubby hole/ arm rest, lift up the little mat in the bottom (if you still have it) there will be two bolts under there, take them out, then, where the piece that you just worked on meets the area where the gear shift is, there will be a screw on each side, take both out, set the e-brake, and slide the cubby console off the e brake, then if you look down in the hole, you will see a small 2-wire harness that you have to twist out, thats where the light is, Hope this helps! Rate me please!

your probly not puting your clutch in all the way and not shifting fast anoth.Or it was not installed the right way and it was unbalanced so probly need to check it out or go a proformace place and have them look at it.

you have to remove the screws (or bolts) inside the center console compartment. pry up the little ring around the shifter. pull up the e-brake and pull that whole assembly up. once removed there is a small 194 bulb located on the drivers side on the bottom. you should see the little black base. twist counterclockwise to remove. replace bulb and reinstall

remove set screws in shifter knob and remove,unfasten console from bracket and slide up off of shifter,you can then fasten lite harness and reverse procedure to reinstall. chris

TAKE TRIM FROM AROUND SHIFTER
SHOULD BE BULB HOLDER W/LIGHT AT SHIFTER BAD CONNECTION OR BULB BURNT

There is a bulb under the shifter. It is probably burned out.

You need to purchase a number 194 bulb at an auto parts store. Next, you need to remove the entire center console to gain access to the socket that holds the bulb. This is fairly easy. After the console is removed, look under the shifter assembly to locate the socket.
