Has anyone put LED bulbs in their switches? I have some left over Super Bright LED NEO 3 bulbs I tried to put in to test but the are to big. Anyone have any suggestions?

Suggestion of just to replace, or what LED to use?

I have a whole set of the small non-led bulbs for replacing those. I can get the 3rd party part # if you like.

Thank you! But I have those bulbs lying around. My motivation is how nice my wife’s Rx350 looks with the switches lit up white.

Then just mic the non-led bulbs and then find white LED's of about same size (eeee-bay or amzon, etc). You'll need a small resistor to knock the voltage down (limit the current), etc.

Since all my switch bulbs are still working in my 2006 GX (less one that was replaced), I have had no motivation to swap to LED.

I do however have motivation to install Phoenix Android unit and replace the ML speakers.

Thank you! Android was installed a few months ago. Still trying to decide on speakers.

If you have the ML system just be careful with speakers that come with passive x-overs on the speakers. If the OEM speaker has no passive x-over on the speaker, then you need to replace the same way because from info here on CL, the ML amp unit has built-in electronic x-over(s). ML's also use 8ohm drivers, so if you use 4ohm driver you can aid that with a 2ohm power resistor in series, but with better higher sensitive speakers you should not lose any sound output vs the OEM.

I'd like to replace the factory sub but my research has gotten me conflicting info on what to get.
