[sport2004]

I need to find some LED's for the license plate lights, '04 Sport...anyone have a source...? Thanks.

Thanks for the write up, I just bought a 2005 T4R and several of the interior lights were burnt out. LEDs are in my future.

I knocked out the LED swap from PFran this afternoon. Everything went smoothly except for the map lights--turning them on blows the dome light fuse every time. Swapping back to incandescent bulbs--no issues. Put the LEDs back in, and the fuse goes as soon as I click on either map light. Not a huge deal, as the dome now provides lots of illumination, but I'd like for the lights to all look the same.

Any thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong?

Did the back-up lights too. Much brighter as well.

take the bulbs apart and see if the inside of the bulb is twisted together at the lead.

I don't think that's the issue, as I took those same LEDs and used them for the door lights, and they worked just fine, and didn't blow the fuse. They just don't like to be in the map light socket.

recheck the socket, might be touching the body, causing a short.

I'll check that, thanks.

Gen4 lights SR5

Hi guys,
I just got my 05 SR5 V8 this week. I drove it last night in the rain, and discovered there are no lights in the doors for the windows, and shifter light for reverse is out.
I haven't posted enough to start a new thread, so I am posing the question here.
Can someone tell me what interior lights are standard on these? Coming from a 2010 tundra, and other newer cars, this is thing is dark dark dark.

so I want to know what lights should be on, like the dash or elsewhere, when driving. Also, is there any illumination for the window buttons?

Hope I am clear as to what I am asking.
thanks
