I drive a Lexus 2019 NX300h. One of my cargo area lights broke. Where can I get replacements?


Above is the plastic cover for the light in the cargo area. This is the piece that broke, as seen on the right. Where can I get a replacement for this? Amazon? Lexus dealership specifically?

above is the light that I want to replace. Where can I get an upgraded version of this so that it’s brighter?

The factory lights are so dim as to be nearly useless, so this is a good opportunity to "upgrade".
You have (at least) 3 options:
-1- Purchase the OEM replacement assembly (unfortunately, I do not think the plastic lens is sold separately). $30 to $45 from online discount parts site or dealer.
-2- Purchase the OEM replacement for 2015 to 2017 NX. Fits in the same opening, but includes an on-off switch and socket for a standard incandescent bulb. Toss the incandescent bulb and replace with an LED bulb the same size (less than $1 from Amazon),
-3- Modify your broken lens to accept an 8X brighter white "festoon style" LED.

Option 2 is the easiest and least expensive. Others have done this mod and there are instructive posts on this forum.
Option 3 is what I did because I am cheap, and refused to pay $60 for 2 of the replacement OEM assemblies for pre-2018 NX.

Right image: Modified assembly. The wire leads are solid wire and just pushed into the factory connector. The clips are held in place by spring force (they dig into the plastic slightly). Have not worked loose in 7 months.

I looked for the OEM assembly on the following website but had difficulty seeing which one is the correct one. Can I get some assistance, please?

Neither your drawing nor mine are accurate, but the part numbers do agree. I am not sure if the vanity lamp fits in the same size opening.
Incidentally, option 3 will work fine with the existing broken lens.

Under option 2, do you know what the bulb is called? What type of fitting it is? What I would need to google to find products of that sort? I apologize, but I don’t have even the slightest of what it is.

I used this bulb:

However, I already had both items, so did not have to buy anything.
In your case, I think something like this would be a better choice:
The plug pins can be bent slightly (if necessary) to fit into the factory connector, eliminating the need for any soldering. A dab to hot melt glue at each end should be adequate to retain the LED panel to the inside of the lens.
