Default Bulb help!

I’m replacing my rear license plate bulbs, trunk bulb and every interior bulb to LED (minus the dash, climate control, key circle, ash tray, middle console and shifter). I’m checking on Sylvania's website and Philips and am getting different bulb numbers. Does anyone have a correct list for an 06 es330?

Also, what kind of bulbs are by the driver and passengers feet up front? Here’s my list to see if I’m missing anything...

- the bulbs by the feet
- dome light
- bulbs by garage opener
- bulbs for each door
- trunk bulb
- license plate bulbs
- glovebox bulb
- vanity mirror bulbs

I’m pretty sure the window/lock switches on every door are not lit up by bulbs right? Same for the steering wheel buttons?

Googled “2006 Lexus ES330 light bulb list” and this was their big hitter. Hope it helps... http://www.modifiedlife.com/2006-lex...ht-bulb-sizes/

Check out our 2006 ES330 Vehicle Lighting Guide which lists most if not all of the items you listed. Take a look and let me know if you have any further questions about your options.

Thanks man! I don’t see the bulbs that go by the drivers and passenger’s feet on your website either. Anyone have any idea?!

You can take the bulb out and take it to your auto parts store and have them match the bulb to a part # and find the bulb type that way.

I actually took a bulb out of the foot area to inspect. It’s a tiny bulb connected to a computer chip looking piece lol. Never seen a bulb so small. I’m not even sure it can be replaced...

Richard I think there’s are different than mine in that thread

Thanks for posting a picture of them! That would explain why they're not listed in any vehicle lighting guide as they can't be replaced with a bulb.

Interesting! I guess the only way to get them brighter is get the the entire piece from the dealer. The drivers side is significantly brighter than the passengers.

It seems like that as it looks like a Lexus/Toyota specific part.

The part number for those feet bulbs/assemblies like in my earlier picture is 81206-33020

Discontinued though

Yeah, now that I see a picture of what you’re up against, I guess they are different. That looks like a proprietary “bulb” for sure.

I bet Lexus2000 knows how to fix/solder a bulb onto it. lol He can fix anything!

I wish.

But that board would be easy to mod the easiest way would be to get a nice bright dome light bulb and solder it onto the board. Or you could use something like this comes in all manner of brightness and colours.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/122604065816

BTW on that board is looks like there is simply a generic LED and resistor.

The Link on my original post #2, http://www.modifiedlife.com/2006-lex...ht-bulb-sizes/, shows a bulb #194 as a “Front Side Marker Light” and the bulb in question here is a ##194 also.... so maybe going there would help for a replacement(?). dunno

Good luck
