HI All,

Anyone know what size the internal light bulb is ?

Cheers

take it out and measure it or take it to the shop and say i want an led version of this

I just purchased one from j-car elec, cost me about $8 Yeah i know.. but it is pretty bright and hopefully should last a while.

J car ? kool theres one up the road,


Cheers

I got it from ebay they are called festoon bulbs

I think the festoon bulb is 31mm.

31mm Festoon bulb in my '98 Hilux, just bought the LED conversion on Ebay for $4.25 AUD

Does anyone know if you can get the map reading lights in the Sunglass Holder in a 2010 SR5 in an LED? They are a bayonet style bulb not a festoon................. Thanks

Yep sure can

Thought the upgrade to an LED would be a 5 minute job. Sitting in passenger seat and some 20 minutes later only ended up frustrated and with sore fingers. Just about impossible to fix the bulb in place regardless of which end you seated first. Is the trick to do it from the driver's seat and seat the passenger side end of the bulb first which I think sits in a small dimple? Cheers MONGO

This what I brought and its awesome heaps better then the factory light. If your car is like mine you only have the one interior light with this light it litterly lights up the whole inside

Took me 5 minutes max to install and cost around 7 bucks

Use the force Luke

It's a PITA to do but just have patients, they do fit. I remember when I did mine the thought, "jeez I hope I don't have to get that back out" was pretty loud in my head

I used the same as sharp018 and it makes a big difference!

I just put LED festoons in my 05 sr with an out back console, they are a bit pricey but its soo bright its almost offencive.

Was in my mates ute once while drunk, I turned his outback console led light on and i instantly went to hell and saw the devil for a split second it was so bright! [emoji23]

Same boat here,, replaced the centre with a LED, works a treat,, MAP lights - whole other story! I gave up when i lost feeling in the tips of my fingers lol! (2013 D/C SR5)

Best thing I ever did in my 80 series was replace the festoon interior light bulbs with leds.

I have a 2014 SR5 - what bulbs are in the map lights ? are the the wedge type one's. Also how do you access them ?

I'm not liking what I'm reading here re replacing them.
