Hi BGw70!
Do you think this is the same? https://www.amazon.com/Partsam-Inter...65e589d5bbe293
Also thanks for the info on the Hood Lock! Yea there is no door adjar warning for that!
Thanks again!

And they must be reverse polarity. This only matters with an LED light. Polarity does not matter when using Incandescent bulbs.

This one says it will work in our cars...
BA9S is the style of plug with the bayonets.
t10 I think is the light type.
i am using this flat style in my 2002 SC430, but I have not used this particular led or from this vendor.
I need another set for my 2007

Here is another from Amazon. You need to know the physical size that will fit in the done light area since these are panels and not a bulb.

I might order these but I have a feeling 2.3in x 1.5in will be too large.
anyone want to go measure the Dome/map light opening?
i would, but not home with the car.

I bought these, they are smaller and just fit so I think the ones you are proposing will be way too big for the space

Panel LED
Why would you consider the panel LEDs? They are not any brighter and harder to install or replace.

I have just installed these to move away from the dull yellowish glow of the old globes. They are brighter than the originals. The job was easy, they plugged in and fitted the same as any globe replacement. They give out a square shape of white light but not too bright to be glaring..... (pics above)

Pole Position
What I meant was between the panel LEDs and BA9 LEDs, I would choose the latter. They give out the same intensity white light but at lower price and easier to install and/or remove.

I just ordered these because I wanted a more natural looking color temp for the inside map/dome lights.

In the glove I removed the lensed plastic bulb fixture, and instead plugged the led panel pin connector directly into the connector for the fixture (requires bending Led panel connect pins out at about 45 degrees and inserting into connector) and then wrapped the two with high temp electrical tape to semi-permanently attach. The led panels have self stick backing so peeled and stuck right next to where the bulb fixture had been. Light in the glove box is not actually functional.
The SC map and glove lights are reverse polarity so just reverse the plug to panel connectors if lights won't come on. For $7 bucks delivered for 6 led panel lights (along with the various combos of connecting hardware) this is an inexpensive mod and pretty easy install.
