Yup, down the bottom of the dash centre, is a rotary knob

Hey Chris,

You can see the dash light dimmer under the left hand vent on my BJ70.

Hope this helps.

Whew - I thought I was too stupid to find it

I don't have one on my 86 LJ70. It is the first car I've owned without one.

Cheers,
Rich

It is an OEM Toyota switch.

This looks like an OEM switch

Same dial as I've seen in every other 7X series (AUS)

My ole HJ75 ( 1985 ) has an interior light dimmer.
It appears Toyota located the switches based on the installers mood and day of the week.

Also, by the pictures you all have posted in this thread, it appears that they use any switch that happens to be on the shelf at the time....from the pictures posted seems to be 3 different switches

Those switches look identical to '84-'88 truck and 4runner dimmers.

No! No! No.
If you have the electric chrome side mirror, that spot is for the side mirror switch.
Not based on the installers mood.
Fancy side mirror in your case.

Of all of the Land Cruisers I have owned, I have never needed to "dim" the interior lights ..... Quite the contrary.
