Decided to upgrade my interior lighting to LED's. Many of you have seen this done before, and JacksonVP has a master thread containing all the different bulb options for our vehicles. So shouts out to him for the wealth of knowledge I got. For those that are experienced and have tried different bulbs through trial and error, does my order look like a good set up? Only reason I ask, is I don't want to have to return bulbs and order new ones. I much rather do it right the first time. Only ones I feel I'm worried about are going to be the footwell, I'm afraid they won't be bright enough only being 3 LED's.

The only bulbs I'll be replacing are the main interior ones right now. I'll be putting through a later order with more exterior lighting and some of the interior gauges, etc. Just looking to get most of the important stuff done first.

So going down the list I got:
--------------------------------------
6x 5 LED 194/168's = 2 for License Plate, 2 for Backseats, and 2 for Door/Puddle Lights.
1x 48 LED 194/168 = Trunk Light.
1x 48 LED 3175 circuit board = Dome Light.
4x 3 LED 37/74 = 2 for Footwells, 1 for Ignition Light, 1 for Glovebox.
2x 5 LED BA9's = 2 for Map Lights.
2x 2 LED HP Lights = 2 Vanity Lights.

Here's my order from V-LED's I'll be putting through tomorrow:


And Here's the bulb size chart (Thanks to JacksonVP):


I also hope this thread can shed some light for people who are still a little confused or are looking into it for the first time to gather information/feedback from fellow members as well.

Thanks in advance.

Would love to see a how-to.....I emailed Tony over at luxury mods.....he has not got back with me on pricing for full inside LED conversion.

If I read things correctly you'll want 2 more 194 5 led bulbs, all 4 doors have "puddle" lights, then 2 above the rear doors and the license plates.

I had vleds bulbs in my car for over 3 years and they all lasted. Seem to hold up better than "cheap" bulbs.

I'm using mostly eBay leds now but am prepared for them to not last as long as the vled bulbs did.

Is this a easy install are no?

Pretty easy. Did all the bulbs on my previous car (Acura). Took about 5-10 minutes. Only ones that get difficult are like the dash lights as removal of your dash or trimmings is usually required. (Not sure about the Lexus just yet, had the car <1 month) Just use a flat head with a towel/rag or something covering the end of the flat head in order to remove the plastic light covers to avoid scratching surrounding areas or carpet. Take your time and you'll be alright.

Dash light took me 2 mins.

Hands down the hardest bulbs are the dome for the back (my fingers couldn't fit in to pull out the bulb)

After changing out every single light in my 2GS my suggestion is that you should pull the battery before you do it.

I left the battery in to check and ended up blowing a fuse.

Got my order through, will post an update later on this week. Thanks for the responses.

LoL Yes exactly. I grabbed a pair of pliers and just grabbed the bulb very carefully not to shatter it and just tugged on it a little and they came right out. But by far the hardest ones to get out!
