Smile How to change lights for 2006 GS300

Hello genius

I'm new here. found this awesome forum recently.

Just wanna ask how to change lights for 2006 GS300. (It's a used car and lights are getting somber and gloomy).

I wanna change lights to WHITE LEDs. (4 door lights + 5 interior lights at front + 4 interior lights at rear + 1 in the trunk boot + 2 puddle lights + 2 license lights )

Here're photos I took just in case for any further references.

Does anyone know how to change them ???

Could you please tell me the name & models of WHITE LED lights???

I will get them on eBay.









Thanks in avdance.

i believe all the puddle lights are led lights. However, you can change your trunk light to led. I have 9 smd led panel.

the trunk lights, just pull the housing out (located on your right), remove the bulb, and install led. Also, you can install led bulb as your backup lights as well.

On my 2007, everything is LED, puddle lights, license plate and dome lights.
I think the only conventional bulb is the trunk light.

Footwell light is led. You would need to solder to replace the led.

I have also wanted to do this, so I took this apart yesterday
the smd leds are soldered directly to the board
I've come to the decision that it's not possible and I'm real good with a soldering iron😢

It looks like the boards may twist off. It's doable. You would need a really fine point tip to work on them.
