Toyota Crown instrument lights are located on the instrument cluster. Instrument lights typically include ABS indicator, EPC indicator, gear position indicator, seat belt warning light, battery warning light, oil pressure warning light, fuel level indicator, coolant temperature indicator, engine warning light, etc. The Crown is a mid-to-large size sedan brand under Toyota Group, with the new Crown offering four models across seven trim levels. In terms of active safety, the new Crown incorporates advanced braking technology and excellent driving assistance systems, including TRC traction control system and VSC vehicle stability control system. The VDIM vehicle dynamics integrated management system ensures optimal road grip under various conditions, delivering outstanding handling performance. For passive safety, the new Crown adopts the world-class GOA body technology and comes standard with 11 airbags including side curtain airbags and knee airbags across all variants.

The instrument lights of the Toyota Crown are integrated into the dashboard directly in front of the steering wheel. They automatically turn on every time I start the car, which is quite thoughtful—especially at night when the numbers are particularly clear. The brightness of these lights can also be freely adjusted. On the left-hand panel of the steering wheel, within easy reach, there’s usually a knob or dial with a sun symbol. If the lights feel too glaring, just turn it a couple of times to dim them; if visibility is poor on rainy days, brighten them up. I’ve heard that in older models, the adjustment button might be located below the air vents on the center console, but newer Crown models have mostly standardized it next to the steering wheel. By the way, it’s worth noting that the color of the instrument lights is generally fixed. Some people have tried changing it, but it affected readability and nearly got them pulled over by traffic police—so sticking with the factory design is the safest bet.

The Crown's instrument cluster lights are embedded inside the dashboard of the driver's seat, precisely where you focus when checking the speedometer. The light source is located in the area between the steering wheel and the instrument panel. The lights automatically turn on when the engine starts, casting even illumination through the dials. Adjusting the brightness is straightforward—most models feature a small knob marked with a light symbol in the control area at the lower left of the steering wheel; simply rotate it left or right to adjust. In the 12th-generation Crown, this knob is particularly prominent, though in the 15th generation, it might be slightly repositioned toward the edge of the instrument panel. It's worth noting that non-functioning instrument lights are often due to poor internal wiring connections within the dashboard, which requires disassembly for repair—a job best left to professional technicians.

When driving the Crown, the instrument lights are located inside the dashboard, integrated with the speedometer and fuel gauge. They automatically illuminate upon ignition. I've noticed that the brightness of these lights can be adjusted using the lever or knob on the left side of the steering wheel—dimming them during the day saves power in strong light, while brightening them at night enhances visibility. Many owners might overlook the automatic brightness option in the vehicle settings menu, which adjusts the brightness based on ambient light when enabled. The instrument lights in the new Crown models use LED bulbs, known for their durability and longevity, whereas older models with traditional bulbs require more frequent replacements due to their limited lifespan.
