Lightbulb Bulb Sizes for some interior parts?

I have searched and searched and I just want to order some new ones already so sorry if it is posted somewhere already.

Well I need the:

Ignition illumination bulb. I think this one is 2721 but not to sure

Lights that are on the Driver/Passenger sun visors (vanity mirror bulbs)

Check Engine Light Bulb

Thanks in advance

ignition bulb is 74. CEL bulb is a T1.5 twist lock bulb. the visor bulbs are either 1156/1157 or 67/68. pop it out and go to autozone to ask.

searched and this thread is the only one that mentions the vanity bulb (in the sunvisors for the mirrors). everywhere else, FAQ and lexls, does not mention it, or it is just blank. does anyone know what type of bulb it is?

looking into these to replace them.

Which gen LS?

1-LS: Ignition Cylinder Light: -2721 or shaved #74 LED
2-LS : #74

Some bulbs will interchange within these specs for size and wattage. The 1-LS FAQ is currently undergoing a revision for the updated format. There is some cross compatibility so in certain instances the 2-LS FAQ can be used.

i have a second gen. i'm looking for the vanity light bulbs (in the sunvisors for the mirrors). so they are #74? i really don't think so. i'm lazy to pry off the cover and look. i want to do it only once to not gouge the plastic.

finally got off my butt and took off the cover. for those interested, the sunvisor bulb is a "vanity" bulb indeed. it looks like a inline fuse, but long. PD should add this to the FAQ.

these will fit:

Thanks for the bulb size, i followed the FAQ and bought the same bulbs for the vanity and it was too big and also blew my fuse right when i tried to install it.

Sorry the FAQ was not accurate.

Is there a model # type for the bulb? If not some basic measurements so that I can check into.
The Lexus dealer quotes that it is a 3W type but no generic bulb # for me to reference.

haha no bid deal, a 7.5 dome fuse fixed the problem but now i have 2 extra led bulbs that i have no use for LOL. ALso, the left and right front map lights run on different circuit because my left light works but the right doesn't and i know it's not the bulb. Are there 2 separate fuses or is there something wrong with my socket.
