Default 08 RX-350 sun visors LEDS changeable??

Can these be changed from tan to another color so it can match everything else I changed to LED on the interior??

Did a few searches but visors are not covered.....what type bulb are them?

I changed mine to led. I think I used these but not 100% sure. Definitely better than stock, just be careful not to scratch the plastic. Best to use a plastic tool.

everything is changeable. just depends on how much work you want to make for yourself. i doubt they are an easy replace. i suspect you will have to solder new ones in.

i did a similar project on my motorcycle, i removed the gauge cluster and replaced all the orange LED's with blue ones. involved desoldering the old ones off the circuit board and then soldering the new ones in.

It's in your manual. Page 438. Vanity lights are what you're looking for.

There are certainly double ended LED replacements out there.

All you have to do is pop off the clear cover and replace with a festoon led bulb like I have linked above. Very simple to do. You need 4 bulbs total, 2 on each mirror.
