Long time lurker, first post.

I recently picked up a 1995 LS400 with 185,xxx miles and have been fixing up the little things.

So some of my climate control lights have burned out and i was wanting to replace them with these:

i just can't find what size. I have been searching on here and i think they are 3mm (T-1) but i would like to be sure before i order.

Also has anyone one used these? any downsides compared to factory?

 

it comes out very easy, take it out and look

I'm talking about the twist bulbs that light up the buttons not the LCD. I wanted to hopefully replace the $9 twist bulbs from lexus with $2 twist LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com

and yes it is very easy to take apart.

 

I followed this tutorial and it was very helpful as well as straightforward.
Goodluck!

T1.5, I suggest single LED for the 3 screen bulbs, then something larger/brighter for the buttons, single LED for the buttons is far too dim

 

an FYI, i'm not sure when they changed them but the '98-00 AC/Climate Controls are for sure the later NEO-Wedge hybrid style twist bulbs.

may want to crack yours open to see what kind it uses before ordering any LEDs.

 

I don't want to hijack this thread but I was about to post a question very similar so I decided to jump in here.

Sneaky82 is asking about a 1995 model and the material in the links that he has been directed to is for a 1990-1994 model. Is it just widely understood that a 1995 model (or my 1996) is the same as the first generation models?

What I would like to do is change the color of my instrument lights as well as my the rest of my dash lights from green to red. I don't want to convert to LED because I don't want to loose the dimming capability. Everything I find online points to information about the first gen cars.Can Sneaky82 and myself assume that ours is the same as the first gen?

On my 1996, would I just replace the bulbs with red ones?

 

Well i orded the T-1.5 3 normal LED and 4 SMD LED. we will see how it goes.

 

It was mentioned recently but I can't find it now. What size bulb illuminates the gear selector ?

Thx

 

a single 74

 

When i changed mine out, i was told it was the t1.5 from lexls' tutorial so i ordered them but they didn't fit. I ended up having to order the neo ones. They fit but it was a very tight fit.

 

on your....?

 

my bad. 94'

 

I was searching to find what size LED I need for my climate control. I was about to order T1.5 LED lights and it was mentioned that they did not fit. Can anybody tell me what size LED lights I need to get? T1.5 or NEO LED and the size?
1992 LS400

 

this might be a bit late but i had to figure it out too, i saw on lexls.com that it was T1.5 bulbs and it wasnt but i forced it in cause i already paid for that ****. Anyways after a year later i decided to do it properly and its NEO5-x they fit great!. if some bulbs dont turn on just rotate it 180 and put them in again, they should turn on after.
