Okay, I just want to say thanks to all who who took the time just to see if they had either a switch or background light for me. NOT. Really?
LOL! Well, I'm guilty of forgetting to check. Sorry. The day you posted your question I said to myself, hmmmm, I don't know the answer. I'll check later on tonight or tomorrow and reply.
NOT. lol.
I'll check mine today since I drove the LS to work. My LS isn't a good candidate to compare to though, because the lamps behind the heated/cooled seats, rear sunshade, and ECT buttons are dark!!! I still have to troubleshoot that issue. But I promise I'll reply after work today.
ive pulled that panel out to clean my mirror switch that wasn't working. if you open the little change drawer you can get a grip on the bottom edge of that panel and pop it out. or use a plastic molding tool and carefully pry around the edges to pry it loose, two plugs in the back or maybe three. Only issue is I think the lights on those are small leds that are soldered in place? If I'm remembering right
Here are the 3 background bulbs. Super-bright is telling me they are a 4mm and 3 mm bulb. There was also a little peanut bulb soldered in place for the AUTO mirror function.
Easy to take out of the car. A real burger to separate them from the case then. $9.01 total. Will be cool white instead a green.
Lexus wanted $10 for one and $9 a piece for the other 2. Yikes and who knows how much they'd want to put them in.

Reason: correction
I did my shift indicator bulb a few weeks ago and the green is actually a little condom that can be transferred to the new bulb. I'm guessing those are the same...
Well got my lights on and "Whew", Funny how many lights were actually not working when I got my 04 LS430 UL. Think you got lights?
I would love to do the entire center console in red lights like audi has its easier on my eyes, could you post the links on how you did yours i am very impressed
They are 4mm for the ones in front of the shifter. And the bulb for the shift illumination is a little different,its a 74 KED bukb-1 SMD led min Wedge retrofit. https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...tributes/10816
But the ones for the outside mirror control is 2 - 3mm and 1 - 4 mm. These were the hardest to replace, had to take apart the unit once I got it out. But if I can do it you can to. 10 mins.
The auto rotate (green) is a solder in mini bulb I didn't need to change. Was the only bulb working.
But Superbright is very good with email response. Send a picture and they will help you out. Any color is available too. I went with Cool white 6600.
