Default heated seat switch bulb p/n

1998 ls400


hey im looking for the bulbs for the heated seats switches and the vsc switch. I removed them and they look to be the same.


also im looking for a couple bulbs behind switches on my climate controls(non nav), specifically the "passenger temp" button and "dual" button right next to it. I have not removed the unit yet to look at the bulbs.


I have checked at the dealer and they had no clue about the heated seats or vsc buttons. for the climate control buttons, they didn't seem to sure either but gave me 4 different part numbers:
84999-60450 (12v 1.2w)
84999-60460 (14v 1.82w)
90010-03012 (14v 1.2w,LCD)
90010-03013 (14v 1.4w,****)


can anyone offer some clarity?
TIA

I had exactly the same problem with you on my 98 Celsior and what I did was to use an LED adding a series resister 220 ohms with it. I soldered those after confirming the polarity. That's quicker and easier than searching and buying bulbs for me since no body knew the part number. I did the same to other bulbs for a navi and an audio unit.

The attached photo was taken while the audio unit was under the replacing process and missing the most. All the lights except the screen are from LEDs.

A while back I was searching for this exact same bulb and found where I wrote down this part number...
Radio shack 272-1092...
I think they're still available on ebay.
I did not purchase or test it out, but it seemed to be the right bulb.

I know this is an old thread but I must inform you guys that the part number Radio shack 272-1092 is designed to apply 12V and consume 60mA. Today I measured an original bulb and found that it's 8V and consumes 60.9mA. You can find the detail here below.

The ID/name of the bulb is called "T3WT8V" specification:8V,60mA according to a friend of mine. He once had replaced all the bulbs buying many "T3WT8V" at Akihabara, Tokyo.

my b on the bump but my passenger heated seat button light is out (the horror, i know) and i think i finally found the correct part number for the bulb/green cap piece that people seemed to have a tough time tracking down in the past. this image is from celsiorup.com and i got the part number from here: http://www.toyo diy.com/parts/p_U_1999_LEXUS_LS400_UCF20L-AEAGKA_8411.2.html?hl=84988A (remove the space between toyo and diy)



list price for that single tiny bulb, ELEVEN dollars!!! i guess things could be worse... you could have unheated seats lol
