Hi Sushihead,

Oh, sorry ! I made a mistake.
Correctness is bluish pearl crystal shine.

Anyway, are these the same color?
Japanese bulish pearl crystal shine is very nearly white.
I'll show you picture of my 2IS on another new thread.
Check it please !

Thats EXPENSIVE dome lights

I just searched on web, here is the installation instruction.


seems like it has to be specific for IS, otherwise it won't fit(?).

so many type so be careful when you purchase.(unfortunately, couldnt find one for IS on this page

Pocky, question to you. Does your Dome light exactly look like the one on the picture (box) posted on first page? cause Japanese IS doesnt have moonroof (optional), and might be different from US IS (moonroof is standard)..so make sure if its the same shape.

updates:
some Japanese IS ower with moonroof says this item wont fit on their car.

Next to nothing and I'm sure output is similar?
I had that at one point in my 2nd gen GS and the light outputs SUCKS ROYALLY!!

Save your money and get something else, definitely not these festoon type LED's.

Hi All,

I didn't know all IS has moonroof in US .
This LED dome light is for only Non-Moonroof.
Please see Attached picture. The parts at upside is for front light.
Maybe it is not fit for US IS...

Hey KJ, when you have time can you take pics of the LED dome light of the 2 nd Gen GS - or 1998 - 2005 Toyota Aristo?

I have a 1999 GS400 with a moonroof.

Thanks!

Hi Hameed,

The LED dome light seems to fit for Aristo model number is JZS16#. But I'm not sure this model number is which year.
However, I could get picture of Aristo's room light unit . Please chech out URL below.

RM-T021 is parts number of the LED dome light for Aristo JZS16#.

D'oh!!!!!! I should have looked at the box picture closer.

Once Hameed mentioned about the moonroof thing, I didn't think of it much.

Okay great, so the fronts won't fit, but the rears will.

There goes that idea. Unless we buy it and only install the rear, which is semi-worthless.

I thank everyone for their help! Gotta love ClubLexus.

Maybe they should make one with moonroof!

Maybe I'm missing something, but why not just replace the bulb with an LED like they did with the GS?

It's an older post, but something I was looking to do with my IS when I found the time.

Geesh, if it looks even close, not a bad deal for a couple bucks!
