On mine, the glove box light is on the top right in the front, but like I said it looks like a sealed enclosure for the light, and I didn't want to start prying on it without seeing what some others have done.

the glove box one, you take out the whole housing, it's not sealed at all. put a flat head on either side of the len (there are place for you to slip in the flat head), twist, and it's opened. very easy
ok, i am done, going to order two footwell, glove box, and the ignition
now someone tell me how the hell am i supposed to do the ignition? from BRIAN's post i only need one huh?
ok, damn.... i was so ready to order, but the 6-led super white 194 is out of stock and won't be in stock at least until 7/2..... so i guess i will have to hold off until then to buy everything together to save the shipping then.....
damn..... at least this time i am sure what to buy
on a side note, can someone tell me how the heck can i change the igniition LED. i am going to order one #74 for the iginiton too, assumption the GS has the same setup as the LS. anyone with more info?

I would think the 6 LED would fit the M6 slot but I haven't tried it. Are you replacing all your Polargs with the 6 LEDs? And I too would love to hear about the ignition!!!

194 & 168 basically share the same base....so you can interchange whichever bulb you wish....as long as it fits thru the housing opening.

well...i guess I have to test them out then....LOL.
I got M6 in there right now....they are 18 watts. I could use 6-LED bulbs...but they project the light straight out and don't use much of the chrome reflectors in there. I also have the 1 LED Inverted bulb which projects the light to the sides only....which may appear just as bright.
Then there may be an issue with getting a load equalizer to calm down the hyperblinking effect
When I get a chance, I will take pics for the gang.

What I meant was that I don't think that Lexus would use the 194/168 as reverse lights on the stock cars. I believe if they did use the wedge bulbs, they would be the bigger ones. I forgot the number though (something like 1178).
