That looks awesome!

Is there any way you could post up the bulb numbers and quantity needed for each? This is going to be my next mod but all the different threads say different things and its driving me crazy! haha

sure. super easy. there are only 3 bulbs you need for the main dash and 2 for the middle console (if you have a 1998 or older) and I think you just need 1 for newer models.

i first went with BRIGHT white LEDs and while they were certainly bright, I wasn't feeling the love at night driving around. Those $3 LEDs I bought at Amazon for the dome lights and map lights turn my car into an operating room when they're on so I wanted the dash lights to be much more calm. i'm super happy with the purchase.

Here is what I got; if you put in your toyota model & year at SUPERBRIGHTLEDS, these will be the first ones that come up so its not a big deal if you lose this thread. I'm sure those other 2 LED companies that advertise on here have similar bulbs.

You don't need the green ones below unless you need new blinker lights.

NOTE - its very important to get the 3 SMD bulbs for your middle console; the 1 SMD isn't designed for rear illumination so you won't get even lighting.


Qty_____Product/Options___________________________________________ ______________Price/Ea
2_______74-xHP: 74 LED Bulb - 1 SMD LED Wedge Base 74-GHP: Green____________________$2.49
3_______WLED-xHP5: 194 LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Wide Angle Wedge Base WLED-BHP5: Blue___$5.95
2_______74-xHP3: 74 LED Bulb - 3 SMD LED Wide Angle Wedge Base 74-BHP3: Blue__________$3.49

Great thanks. Thats exactly what I needed. My biggest problem was that there were 6 pages of the 194 bulbs and I had no idea which one I needed. haha

no problem. i dont recommend the superbright 3175s because the amazon versions are MUCH MUCH brighter and waaay cheaper (I posted another thread on that today)

also i bought those blue ones in white initially..and they did look good..but too bright. the dimmer 'kinda' worked on them..but it only dimmed them a tiny bit before they went out completely using the dimmer knob.

the blues are so much better and do a much better job with dimming..i love driving around at night now. the pioneer radio has thousands of color combinations so i have it set to randomly change the color behind the buttons and the on-screen color.

its like being in a new car ;)
