I just purchased one from j-car elec, cost me about $8 :shock: Yeah i know.. but it is pretty bright and hopefully should last a while.
I couldn't repair my brakes, so I made my horn louder.

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 :)

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 :D

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 ;)

Interior Light - Replacement with LED

Postby Redfisher on Wed, 19 Nov 2014 6:33 +0000

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.
