Interior Dome Lights
Hey guys, brand new owner of an es350 here, got a great deal on a beautiful 2008 with only 35k miles on it from a private party (9k).
Love the look and feel compared to my old es300 which was rendered significant cosmetic damage by a truck.
I know I'm late to the party here, been reading through all the threads to catch up, and decided the number 1 mod is to improve the subpar interior lights.
The chief culprit are the 2 tiny overhead map lights which are silly dim.
I haven't been able to find any pics or videos on how to swap those out - can it be done? and do they take regular 194 bulbs or are they soldered on?
Any recommendation for bulbs - I want bright but not crazy bright - is 100 lumens the right amount?

Think you mean the personal lights above the dash, in the roof console assy, not the dome/roof lights which are also useless!!! I just use the light in the vanity mirror when I want to see something for real. Have not seen any swap out done on CL for those.
Check para 66 for how to get at it.
