ok, first off.
where are you trying to get the num74 bulb to fit? if it's a led (not a bulb) you can use a handy bastard-file and a set of pliers to file it into a workable shape (just don't damage the diode)

no idea what the hazard light is. haven't taken it apart yet.

i have a gt and my dimmer knob doesn't light up. i don't think there's a bulb in there. though i guess it could be because a bulb burned on the previous owner.

The hazard light is that grey circle on the side of the button unit (what ever is directly behind the button). When you see it is a gray circle with a cross/star incraved- just use a star screw driver to take out. I just bought some from toyota like 2 days ago. I can post the numbers that were on the package. I think they called them cap-lights, because they have a grey plastic base-attached to the bulb. Actually I just showed the toyota parts guy the bulb and he knew what to order.

Edit: Ok the bag has the hazard button light listed as----> "90010-01001 BULB W/CAP"

if you start filing into a normal incandescent bulb you'll breach the vacuum and it'll break.

you can probably find a num74 led in the color you're looking for at
autolumination.com
or at superbrightleds.com

and those can be filed a good amount (and will have much nicer color than the incandescent bulbs).
