MOTO-P, what type of bulbs did you use for your switches, and where did you get them?

BTW, I was looking considering the beatsonic kit like yours, are you able to use the steering wheel controls? And is the adapater module by beatsonic necessary if I was to install an Eclipse AVN unit? Just needed some info, thanks.

Here are some pictures for reference. Photos taken by an iPhone 3GS so apologies for the poor quality. These pics were taken at night and the actual look of these LEDs are much better in person.

The first pic is the actual size of the surface mount LED, the 1206s.

Wonderful! Thanks for the photos.
I have felt that lights that illuminate the cabin can be left yellowish since super-white LEDs tend to make dirty carpets and seats look even more dirty unless you keep it spanking new clean. Mine is a daily driver so I am way too lazy to clean carpets frequently. Your car looks super clean!!

However, I do LOVE that color for switched and indicators that only mark the positions of them or show you information. It just updates the car and also seems much easier to read and find.

You'll see my post with the source for pre-made LED lamps that fit, so you don't have to custom rig anything...( I found this after I did mine...LOL darn!)
That's in this post here:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...-clusters.html

Also on the steering wheel control:

The BeatSonic kit does not include the steering wheel control adapter. LS430 steering wheel controller operates with serial data link (i think) via body ECU so its sort of tricky to do. I didn't hook up mine because the Pioneer system I have already has wireless remote control for rear passengers, and it makes more sense for me to control my head unit with the touch panel display than fiddling with steering wheel.

Sport/Norm, ECT, and Height switch bulbs 90010-01059 (14V 0.84W with a green cap)
Seat heater **** bulb is 90010-03046
VSC/Sunshade button bulb is 90010-01070

These bulbs are built into a twist-lock plastic base, with the + and - leads integrated into it. The bottom of the bulb base is made for installation using a Philips screwdriver.

Alternative twist-lock bulbs that may work (keep the green rubber caps from your old bulb just in case):
Toyota part 90072-02005 (14V 1.12W, black base with V-2 and TSD marked on the back, $1.05USD)
Toyota part 83119-24070 (brown base with V-2 and JSD marked on the back, $6.06USD)

The bulb is built into a grey twist-lock plastic base, with the + and - leads integrated into it. The bottom of the base is made for installation using a Philips screwdriver. The base has the words TSD V-2.

I'm not sure, but you might be able to use Toyota bulb 90072-02005 (14V 1.12W, black base with V-2 and TSD marked on the back, $1.05USD) or Toyota 83119-24070 (brown base with V-2 and JSD marked on the back, $6.06USD). Just keep the green cap from your old bulb just in case.
Or you could use this LED bulb instead

Roman, love the write-up man. Took care of most of my lights this weekend but I can't seem to figure out the bulb type for the floor on the driver and passenger side.

Also, how do I get into the door to replace the bulb above the door handle and what size is it.

Help!!!!
