Question es300 door/accent lighting to LED

anyone done this? Im really tired of the yellowish tint to the old bulbs. any idea what led part number i should buy for the door lighting? also what lights for the windows&seat heater switches?


ive asked this in the lighting section but i rarely get useful responses there? If someone can help me with the part number i'll document the installation.

I think any led's small enough to fit would work if there's soldering involved.. have you ever try opening it to see what kind of bulb its using?

I changed out my door lights and trunk lights to Raybrig bulbs. They emit a bright white light, much better than the stock yellow. Not sure about the bulb #'s though, I forget... I think the are 194 not completely sure though.

For the courtesy door lights try the Oval Wide Angle Lens bulbs if you want a wide spread of light:

or the Clear Focused Lens bulbs if you want a smaller spot of light on the floor.
