I believe the map lights are festoon bulbs.

Edit, I was thinking of the dome light.
This post may help.

I'd pull out your old lights and compare - the festoon lights come in a few different lengths so make sure you order the right one.
I put LED's in my Tacoma and they really helped - a ton. For my main cabin light (it's an extended cab), I got one of those festoon bulbs that's connected to a 2"X2" circuit board packed full of LED's. It really lights up the place.
I opted not to put LED's into my SC's map lights because I don't like their angle - instead of pointing straight down, they're pointed back a little so they are partially shining into my eyes. My wife sometimes turns them on while we're driving and forgets to turn them off. I know I'd be blinded if I put LED's in there so that's why I left the old ones in...

RE: the flasher, check out the first page of this thread - there's a link for an entirely different flasher so you may want to check that out. I haven't done mine yet so I'm not sure who's right, how many pins on it, or maybe you pulled out the wrong one ?

Yeah, it should be quite large with 5 pins. I had a picture of it on that album that I linked earlier.

so installed the flasher... FAIL. when i choose the left turn signal both the signals flash, and when i choose the right, nothing happens at all. hazards work, they flash at the right rate though. the pins are identical to the stock one. something different about the flasher then i guess.

Try buying the one I have. I'm pretty sure it's the same, 'cause it worked on my 95 and now on my 96.

I'm curious to see if the flasher works. I have a 93 with 95 tails so I already have the hyperblink issue.

Unfortunately this is exactly what happened to me. Looking forward to see if the other flasher works.
