Hi all. I have a 2001 anniversary 100 series which has courtesy lights in the doors and tailgate but they aren't working. When I bought it the salesman said he had "turned them off " as the vehicle was sitting around in the yard with all the doors open. Can anyone tell me how to turn them back on again. Thanks.

Hi Terry,
R your 'lights' red in colour? if they are they are only reflectors, you will need to replace them with the lights out of a VX or Sahara. Fitting only takes a matter of moments on each door a& the wiring harness is there to connect to. Lights should be readily available from Toyota.
The white lights really do very little in aiding entry to the vehicle....something to consider purchase from ebay or similar small LED light panels & fit them to the red reflector using the original wiring ....will work a treat.
The reflectors/lights pry out of the door trim very easily

Yep the ones in the doors that are red are NOT lights.
Had battery problems and the smarty at the
shop said its those red lights in the doors.
I said strange I didnt know reflectors used power.
His face was a red as one of them.
LOL

Terry, for stuff like this you really have to go to the LCOOL
forum, which, if you don't already know is the place to find out anything and everything about any model Toyota ever sold in Australia and Globally.
You have to become a member, however it's FREE , repeat FREE and I am dead set sure this is where you will find the answer/s to your questions.
