Just wondering if the domelight bulbs can be swapped out to a brighter led board. Unsure if the bulbs there are really led as I was told by a Lexus specialist the interior lights are led. Really? I noticed the mirror vanity lights are halogen. I thought the door panel lens were indeed led due to the white color of the light but although dim. When I removed the door panel lens, there is a blue halogen 194 bulb in there, to mimic the white light. Because of this reasoning, maybe the domelight uses these blue halogen 194 bulbs as well? The domelight lens isn't easy to pop off without denting the plastic around it so maybe somebody can shed some light on this? (unintended pun lol).

I thought the door panels bulbs were LED too because they burned white.I switched the blue tint bulbs out with VLEDS 5K 4 LED flanks.The same LEDs in the puddles.
I don't find the interior bulbs dim but have been thinking about a change over to LEDs.May not,though.
The rear lighting over the doors have two levels of brightness.Will an LED adjust to two levels of brightness?

The dome lights are LED's and they get brighter when you park and get out. I find them pretty bright, they have good enough light the door's are not led's and the vanity's are not as well.

I switched out my door panels and puddle lights to led bulbs too. Made it like 10x brighter! I had these same mods in my 2IS, the domelight switched as well to an led board. The led boards do adjust to different levels of brightness and fade in and out just like the led bulbs in the puddle lights.

Yes,LEDs do fade out.So I should have realized LEDs do have levels of brightness.
BigBlack06 says the domes are LEDs so I assume the rear lighting over the doors are LEDs too.

Just noticed earlier the domelights have 3 levels of brightness. Where I was used to seeing 2 levels of brightness, with opening the doors making it slightly brighter, pushing the domelight on button goes a step further and makes the domelight satisfyingly brighter. Good to know in case we need the domelights not just on but brighter. With my 2IS, there were only 2 levels. Opening the door and pushing the domelight on button is the same brightness.

I like the 5K LEDs pure white light output but VLEDS has the 6K in stock which many here go with..
