Default Are your interior lights LED?

Hi everyone,

I just picked up my RX yesterday. I pre-ordered some LEDs for the trunk and door courtesy lights. I noticed that after installing them, the dome lights don't seem to match! Are your dome lights LED? This might be limited to the base model in Japan, but I'm pretty sure that mine need to be changed. Also, if anyone has any idea on how to get the covers off the dome lights and what size the bulbs are, it would be much appreciated if you could let me know.

Are the dome lights yellowish? I'm not sure if they're actually led or not. Perhaps they've just got low color temperature?

Must be a non-f sport or Japanese model problem then. I found out they are indeed LED but 4000k.

Interior lighting is terrible!
Could we rewire to make reading lights come on with door?
That would help.

Default LED Interior Lights for 2018 RX 450h

Does anyone know if there are OEM LED lights/bulbs available for the side doors, tailgate, etc.? Does the F-Sports or luxury package come with these?

So, it looks like F-Sport has LED door courtesy lights. Why then the bulb part number listed on mylparts.com is the same for the base and F-Sport? Base definitely has an incandescent bulb. Anyone knows whether I can get those OEM F-Sport LED bulbs and install them on the base RX 450h? What is the part number?

Most likely, the LED door courtesy light is the entire enclosure, which should be a lot more expensive than getting an LED replacement for the incandescent bulb.

Yes, you have to get an entire bulb/socket LED assembly but given the fact that people says it's still has yellowish color and costs almost $30, I went ahead with aftermarket LED bulb replacement and so far it works and looks great.
