Default green light

Can anyone get me a part number and price for the green interior light located underneath the dash (to the left of your legs where you would sit)?
Thanks
Tim

If its on the door and turns on when you open the door, it should be a regular wedge bulb.

No, it's not the the same wedge bulb Siniquezu...

It's actually smaller and has a greenish sleeve covering it I think. I removed the sleeve and it looked a bit better.

Has anyone ever replaced the light behind the "hour, minute, reset" area on the console?

That bulb number is listed in the owners manual.

Never replaced that console bulb, but I am wondering this: is the word "security" on the bottom rt of the instrument cluster suppoed to lite up? All the script on the trip computer & etc buttons do, and it seems like the security script should.

Unhappy

Which bulb are you guys talking about? I looked in the user manual but don't see anything about a green bulb.

Talking I have answers!

OK, I never had to replace the green light under the dash there, but if it has a green sleeve, then it can be ordered from the dealer. Take it to the dealer and they can look it up, prob. $5-10.....and reuse your green sleeve from the old bulb.
Tony, I did replace that light. At first I took it to my local dealer and they looked on the computer and said the whole switch had to be ordered, the bulb couldnt be ordered by itself. I opened the switch and the bulb came out and I couldnt believe it couldnt be ordered....because it was made to be taken out (not like it was soldered in). I emailed my friends in Glendale, CA, at BMA Auto Parts and sent the bulb there. They gave it to Glendale Lexus who found a bulb just like it (I assume the bulb is used for other things). It cost me like $6.00.
The security red light should light up, the actual word itself should not.

OK, if you open your door....on the drivers side there will be the obvious light on the door itself.
Theres another light....its further down from like the remote control on/off switch. Feel down there...you will feel the clear plastic cover for it. Theres only a footwell light on the driver side though.

Thanks! Just what I wanted to hear. Much easier than taking apart the dash to find that out

Its pretty simple to find. Its just a bit further behind the end of the steering wheel column. Its a triangle shape. And its very obvious to see, just open your door at night and sit in your car....if your legs are green, its working. Its the same color as the green ring around the ignition.
