Default Incandescent to LED replacement info. request.

Since changing out the door courtesy lights with LED projectors I'd like to change out the rest of the incandenst bulbs in the car. Are any of the bulbs in our cars LED's already?

Does anyone have a list of bulbs and links to replacement LED's ? As well any tips on changing out the various bulbs would be appreciated

I tried the Sylvania site, but they don't list the 2014 Lexus ?

Apparently the trunk replacement is a Sylvania 194 bulb, but I'm not sure about the Dome and map lights, etc.


TIA

I recently changed out fog lights, mirror puddle lights, door puddle lights, and reverse light to LED 5K VLEDs.

I have VLEDS 5K LED in the fogs,puddles,door panels,trunk and reverse lights.
I'm curious about the dome and rear side dome lights whether they are blue tint bulbs like the doors or LEDs.
I'm curious but am fine keeping the interior lighting the way it is.

Sorry I was specifically talking interior. They are LEDs

Thanks Guys!

Geeze never really thought about the fogs. Any performance increase on the fogs?
I use them all the time as we live in a heavily wooded area. They help to light up the ditches so I can spot the eyes of critters trying to cross the highway. More brightness wouldn't hurt!

Joeb427 , any pics of the exterior LED mode you did? Link to what you installed?

If the domes are LED then I need some brighter domes and map lights Maybe 1000 candle power in a few more years
Has anyone changed out the domes and map lights? Curious as to how difficult Lexus made what should be a simple task.

No pics of the fogs.
My fog LEDs like most are more about aesthetics than performance.The 5K LED fogs now are a very close match to the HIDs which are 4300K.

So our vehicles already have HID fog lights? I'm a bit confused as I didn't think you could mix HID's without moding the electrical.

I must go do some site searching as I saw a couple threads on the Fogs but didn't pay attention at the time.

Thanks.

You have LED fogs,not HID.
I believe 6K color.

The '13s had a filament bulb I changed to an 5K LED.The '14s are LEDs.

Anybody know what color temp the interior LEDs are? Thought that might be an appropriate question for this thread.
