Always wanted to swap the regular interior lights for something more updated looking like an LED. Took the plunge and ordered a cheap set of 10 LED bulbs on amazon for $9.99 Needed two sets to complete the job with lots left over. Overall I’m very pleased. Not to blue and not to dim

Install was a breeze. For the lights under the dash on both driver and passenger side I used a set of two LED bulbs I had from another project. They are slightly brighter but match on both sides which is what I was looking for.

I also changed the reverse lights with same bulb (photos to come later)

Nice, I'm thinking of doing this as well. Did you order a set of plastic trim tools as well?

Also, do you think the LED will work for the side view mirror puddle light?

u
they should work for the mirror puddle and the door lights
i just got a 20 pack of other leds and did my cabin, trunk, doors, and mirrors

And this for the dome lights:

I got these, it's a 20pack for around $10. they out worked very well for me.

I used this video to guide me in my install.

I had some plastic trim tools laying around so I used those. I think it should work for the puddle light. Does anyone know what size bulb it uses? Also any direct link to a diy on how to change those out?

They should all be 194 bulbs. If you're referring to the lights under the rear view mirrors it's covered in the YouTube video i posted earlier.
you just need a trim tool to pop off the mirror, then remove 5 phillips screws that hold everything together. it should free the mirror housing and expose the puddle light under it. toggling lock and unlock on your key fob should trigger the puddle lights to come on and off.

Just tried for 10 minutes to remove mirror and can’t! Any help here watched the video countless times and the mirror is impossible

I also did my interior and puddle lights with leds. I used jdm astar from amazon. And did tthe Lexus logos on the doors.

you just have to wedge it pretty firmly. I was nervous popping it out at first too. Come in from the top and bottom of the mirror at the edges. apply steady pressure until it's at the maximum flex, then just a little love push it should pop out. I dont really know how to put it into words, but that's the best i can do. i had a pretty firm 1" x 5" wedge tool i used.


The mirror in the above video is held in the same manner minus the metal prongs coming out of it.

It takes a little pressure. work your way from the top left corner. I've done this and it almost feels like you might break it, but once you apply enough pressure pulling it, you'll feel a clip detach. Once you get one from the corner, you can work your way with the others.

So I just installed the bulbs that OP linked on Amazon.

Theyre pretty nice, although they don't dim smoothly. It kind of flickers, but oh well for the price can't really complain.

That looks amazing! Where did you buy your bulbs?
