bgw , you think just the plug to that fixture became unplugged? To change the bulb he only had to take the lens off.

T5 bulb, but they are a real bugger to push in. The incandescent bulbs have rounded edges where they push in the socket. The LEDs don't seem to come rounded. They are the little ones outside the package in the picture.

Thanks Coleroad...the footwell bulb is larger than the glove box so you used the same led's in both spots?...Where and what part number are they....there seems to be mant choices of t5's...could you have filed down the sides and rounded them for an easier fit?

any T5 led will fit. Pick the one you want. Some come with adapters to install them in instrument clusters. There are ones with more LEDs then the ones I bought. About rounding the corners. Someone else on here did do that, and said it helped. I could be mistaken on the glovebox bulb then. That is the one bulb I didn't change. It really didn't matter to me to change it.

Coleroad is right, the LEDs are very hard to insert because of the blunt edges. I didn't try rounding the edges but think that would be a good tactic, just file the corners off of it. (See the pictures in post # 9 in the link that Coleroad supplied.) My bulbs were very difficult to remove also. Those little buggers are in there tight!
Also as Coleroad mentioned, any T5 (or a 37) will work. I got the T5. However, just to be safe, you might check out the dimensions before ordering them to make sure that they are close in size to the OEM bulbs.
I've also seen where someone else on the forum has mentioned that someone on ebay is selling full LED kits for the car. That would have saved a whole lot of searching trouble for me but I'm done and happy now.
Good luck.

I also replaced all my interior lights and noticed a big change in the look. I had to buy two lamps for the feet foot area separately. I bought the light kit on Amazon but did not change the license plate lights . I also replaced the door lights on my 2016 RX 350 with the ones that show The Lexus emblem and then put the old RX 350 lights in my SC 430 as they are exactly the same even after 10 years except for them being LEDs .

the plate lights where the same T10's I used elsewhere in the car. The backups, I had to frill the inner lens. I have a picture of the backup bulbs , but don't remember exactly what the were. I knew I wanted ones with a projector lens, so the were functional too.
