Default Brake Light Bulb

Hey, one of my rear brake lights is out and I am wondering what kind of bulb do I buy to replace it? I have a 92 ES300

Just so you know, not all the bulbs that are listed on Sylvania.com are the right type for your car. I punched in my car info and bought the bulbs listed and realized they were not the correct type. Example for the trunk it states its a 194, the same for the courtesy door lights, but when I removed the trunk light, it was a fuse tube looking bulb. Another example is my license plate lights on Sylvania state 2825, but they look identical to a 194 bulb. So just be aware that their might be errors..........

DixonPai, where did you get your LED's for your car? I was able to convert some of my bulbs to LED's, but I couldnt find for my front corner lights/signal lights and everything on the rear tail lights (brake light, signal light, back up light and tail light itself) Thanks..............

Well I got most of my interior ones on ebay
but for my signal light I got it from V-LED They can provide you with every LED you can possibly need for your car

I cant help you on the tail ones because, I didnt mode any of them, but i doubt that sylvania is wrong with the tail bulbs, but I maybe wrong

Thanks for the info and link. The numbers from sylvania are correct for the taillights, but the trunk light was incorrect and the license plate lights was also incorrect. Did you have problems with your front tail corner / signal lights. I bought a pair of Pilot LED's from Pep Boys and they didnt work, but the halogen bulbs would work. Then I noticed on V-Led.com that you need an adapter / Ohm resister for Lexus cars to get LEDs to work on our cars or buy a new Lexus flashing module from V-Led. Just wondering if you had issues.
