So I bought some LED lights for the interior assuming that they're all size 194 since the front dome lights are, and I get to the ones in the back seat and they are a completely different bulb. What the hell is this!? Why would Lexus use one type of bulb in the front and another in the back? I have no idea what type of bulb it is either, anybody know??

to fix this buy the small universal boards. they have all the adapters to fit that light in the back...also read the lighting mod thread on the 2IS section as that pretty much covers it.

So...you're annoyed because you assumed something, and it turned out your assumption is wrong?

EDIT: Sorry bro...I had to...lol

Lmao

The rear done lights are 31-36mm festoon bulbs
But yes, as Teo said, universal boards with adapters are the way to go

LOL Yeah I am. I just don't understand why Lexus would do something like that. I've changed out the lights in all the cars I've owned and have never seen something like this. Oh well... Anybody want 3 194 LED bulbs??
