Default Dome/Interior light bulb help, someon please!

so i just purchased my very first lexus ever, a 1993 Lexus LS400 in great condition for a good price.

im looking into changing all of the interior bulbs for hyper white or similiar bulbs. i really want LED bulbs instead of the regular type. anyone know what bulbs to get and where? i searched everywhere and cant find anything.

so far, this is what i have counted:

3 Dome bulbs in the front ceiling
2 personal Dome bulbs in the back ceiling
4 for all the doors front/back
2 for the under part of the dash for both driver and front passenger leg space

i want to change all these for the same color if possible to LED bulbs, can anyone please help me with this? please and thank you

You're on your own for finding the right sizes for your application though.

lower door lights, 4x194/168
2 rear map lights, 2x194/168 (lights that come on when u press the button)
2 rear courtesy lights, 2xBA9 (lights that come on when u open the rear door)
underdash lighting 2x74
dome light 1x3022
dome map lights i think is 2xBA9

double check on these but im 100% sure about the 194 bulbs but not the ba9's.

Sylvania has a lamp replacement guide to look up numbers:

The sylvania guide is not 100% right. Especially for the 2nd gen LS.

I know in my 2nd gen all the rear map/courtesy lights are 194. I thought there were 2x BA9, and 2x 194. But it's really 4x 194.

I also recommend www.superbrightleds.com I only buy LEDs from them. Purchase early enough in the day and they'll ship same day.

UCF20 FAQ has correct bulbs listed in it.

3 Dome bulbs in the front ceiling - one 3022 and two BA9s
2 personal Dome bulbs in the back ceiling - two BA9s (rear map lights) and two 194/168
4 for all the doors front/back - four 194/168
2 for the under part of the dash for both driver and front passenger leg space - two #74

And if you also want to do the glove box light, ignition light, and shifter plate light, you'll need three more #74 bulbs.


For LEDs:

http://autolumination.com/ or http://stores.ebay.com/warden-jp2002

For the map lights, I recommend the flank BA9s. And for the door courtesy lights, I recommend the ones with the large heat sinks. You can get both from jpwarden on ebay.

FYI, the advanced search function with the 'also search in child forums' box unchecked will yield better results.

i had a bad experience with warden...after he ships it, he doesnt care for the customer no more. my leds took almost a month to get to my house and when i checked the tracking number, it was the same status for 3 weeks. i contacted him and he said he would look into it but then would not email me back. then i filed a claim with paypal because i thought he didnt ship them out or w/e. then he sent me more emails saying it was shipped and it was now my problem and not his and he doesnt give a "F" what happens. turns out customs had taken it to inspect it and in the followup feedback on ebay he put, "Open numerous disputes to grab your deserved payments, Avoid!!!" so yea i tend to avoid him now, and his prices arent that much less expensive than superbrightleds or autoillumination.
