Dome and reading LED lights
 
Any recommendations for dome and reading LED lights for my 2013 ES 350?
If someone has done it before and upload some some pictures at night that will be appreciated.

You can buy T-10 LED's on Ebay. About $1.00 per LED. remove the lens, the factory bulbs, and replace with the LED's. To change all of the bulbs including doors, trunk, visors, and domes takes about 45 minutes.
I bought a panel removal kit at Harbor Freight for about $5.00 to pry off the lenses. Worked perfectly.

There are numerous threads on this.

I use leds from VLEDS. They are very expensive, about $13 a pop. However, these are by far the brightest and most reliable LEDs you'll ever find.

They are expensive. You could replace a $1.00 LED 13 times for that price...

Yes, like you, I did go the "cheaper route" first and went with the eBay stuff. I installed the $1.00 leds. Then I went with the VLEDS. There is absolutely no comparison between the two.

I will agree they are very expensive. But you get what you pay for.

Here's a pic of the VLEDS taken inside a lighted garage. Note, the washed out effect is due to the brightness of the leds, not the flash on the camera.
