I'll haven't noticed but will start paying attention. I used VLEDs in mine.

Not a fan of the blue LEDs but good instructional video

Just updated all of my interior and running board lights to LEDs. Much happier with the look now.

Can you post a link for the lights please. I just installed LEDs from Amazon but are not much brighter if at all.

I used this kit, its a 10 pack and can do the whole interior. I like how bright they are, a little too bright so I often have to keep them off.

I have this same kit and I swear that mine are no where near as bright as they used to be. It has been a tad over a year since I've had mine.

The Auxitos are best for areas where the light isn't on for much time. They do get pretty hot when on for a longer duration, the heat can degrade the brightness.
Those were the brightest I tested. This was back in Sep 2018. I've only had trouble with one of them. It started to flicker, in a puddle lamp location. This is usually caused by insufficient heat dissipation. The puddle lamps aren't on very long so in this case could be weaker LEDs.

Thanks for the link. Just installed on a 2021 GX. Very bright. Anything brighter for the doors and running boards recommended? I read Phillips are good but they are out of stock on Amazon.

Super stoked to get the domes and doors interior lights swapped out to LEDs.

Can anyone actually confirm which bulbs are in the Vanity light for 2017? I've trolling Google so I can order the right bulbs, but some sights say T10/194/175 and others say that it's a festoon type. I would like to order the right bulbs the first time around, without having to pop the lens cover off more than once.

Are the interior floor lights hard to change too?

they are all the same bulb, the wedge bulb 194. it works on all interior and the puddle lights. 10 interior 4 puddle
or are you referring to the vanity light in the visor? I left mine stock on this

the under seat floor lights can not be easily swapped out so most people leave them. theres a few threads on it if you use the search function a few come up

Thank for quickly responding! The vanity light that I have is not on the visor itself, but on the ceiling, but controlled with the mirror is slid all the way open.

Bummer on the under seats lights, but I had suspected that they would not be an easy swap out. I will continue to troll this awesome forum! I am learning a lot more than expected about my newly acquired, and most favorite, vehicle!

I did this swap recently and can confirm the ceiling mounted light controlled by the vanity mirror slider is the same wedge type 194 bulb as all the rest. Big improvement!

Mahalo for the info! I'm going to swap mine, and I'm sure it will be a huge improvement.

Thanks, everyone. Even thought I like to stick with DiodeDynamics/VLEDS, Amazon's pricing on AUXITO was too hard to resist. Picked up a set of T10 bulbs I'll throw in the running boards and front doors. Going to keep the rest incandescent to change things up. I have LEDs in my ISF and they are just way too bright at night.

Also grabbed 921 AUXITO bulbs to swap out the reverse lights. Due to the design of the housing on the GX, the bulbs I already have (projector style with added radial chips) have wouldn't produce much usable light output.
