New Interior LED Upgrade Mod
#61
Sup fellas!
This thread is for my LED light fans, I recently swapped out my LED dome lights to some super hella bright panels that CJITTY ran across and turn me on to. We first swapped out the rear festoon LED to the new light cause it was weak BUT I thought let me put two of them up front as well. The front LED bulbs were decent but wanted more light output and let me tell you these new ones due the job beautifully!
Check it out two boards up front & one in the back.

I finally decided to change my interior lights to LED. I see you have a LS460. I have a '08 LS600. DE3175 is not the dome light for the LS600. Mine are plug in types. I would guess it is a 194. The manual doesn't state that and I looked on Sylvania lighting's website and they also list the DE3175 as the dome light. Amazon also stated the DE3175 works for my 2008. I am lost on this. Can you provide enlighten me?
Also, I have the Rear Entertainment System and the rear dome light is a part of that whole RES assembly. Do you have any idea how to safely change the light. I read the dome lights should be changed from the rear after removing the assemble. Removing the lens from the front side has a good probability to break the lens.

I little research revealed that most LEDs dim via a "pulse width modulation" dimmer, not a simple voltage drop that is supplied to the socket in the Lexus. My guess is that future models will come with LEDs and PWM dimmers.

Thanks its super bright! Now if I can find some time to figure out how to replace the bulbs on the back of the front seats and the door handles. Might just leave them.
Has anyone switched out the visor bulbs to led?

Question about Interior LED upgrade install
I read thru this thread and got the bug to change the interior of my 2012 LS460L to LED. I cant find in this thread which side of dome fixture has the pull down pins. Can anyone provide guidance on the front and rear dome light fixtures or where I can find the instructions?
