Default IS-F Led interior upgrades

Hey all, any ideas on how to go about replacing the interior lights with LED's on a 12 IS-F?

Bulb types and removal instructions would be appreciated.

Contact Nigel JDM about those ledboard, using small thin flat head screw driver to pry them out and tape painter tape around those plastic so it wont get damage. 2 led in front dome, 1 in rear, one in trunk, 2 in the sun visors light. 2 on the side doors, 2 bulbs on vanities light.

Also, if you search youtube there's an actual video on each interior bulb replacement on a regular IS which is similar. You may want to be aware that only the middle front dome bulb dims (not all 3) and the same goes for the rear. Only 1 bulb dims. I just recently replaced all interior bulbs to LEDs from Nigel. Bright white and are made from Japan. On a side note, if you do purchase the LEDs from Nigel be careful of the wires connected to the boards. They are very delicate. I had to re-solder a couple of wires back onto the board itself because they snapped off from adjusting. Other than that I am a happy camper. Good luck on yours!!

Xenon Depot, a vendor here, has a set of all the interior lighting upgrades you will need in one package.

I got a LED package from iJDMtoy for my 2012 and they are a vendor on CL. Not sure on the 2 piece for the front dome lights, but mine was a 1 piece? When I did my install I used the link above for guidance. Good luck with your install bro and dont forget the blue painters tape as mentioned above.

I came across this newly designed trunk / cargo replacement unit. The fitment is spot on, nice upgrade. Arrived from Taiwan in about a week. OEM lamp is flush with the wall of the frunk, this one is raised just as the photo in the listing.

I've never changed the bulbs in my Supra unless I wanted something different. The tail lights are still from 1993.

No trouble at all. Too bright to be able to take a photo when “ON” ... ISF trunk ... installed.



I think the photos in the listing shows the best differences in the overall design.

The OEM supra tails are my favorite tail lights. Can't decide whether I like yours or the MY97+ ones the most.
