Hmm thats interesting. Do you know how much they cost around? and also is it an exact replacement?

[FSStrix09]

festoon bulbs for interior are $7 for the single row and $14 for the double row. it's led so the power draw is a fraction of what incandescent uses.

The bulbs available at superbrightleds.com aren't listed under the same codes though. If I want to replace the dome light (DE3175) can someone tell me which part no I need to get from superbrightleds.com?

EDIT: Nevermind I just did a search for "DE3175 Led" on Ebay and found all kinds of replacements.

haha, i finally got up and took pictures of my car's led. here's mine


I went with v-leds.com and got two dome light bulbs.

p.s. that shiny blue light next to my shift knob is a switch for the underseat lights.

how did you manage to take off the dome cover? I never really did it before. Would be great if someone can give me a simple guide... i dont want to crack or dent the plastic cover


and i see more and more trix 09 users are going for the PnP hid kits... i wish toyota could have develop a casper shield or even projectors for the trix I mean they are quite mid class... and sporty!

umm, i left the front two map lights stock, but changed the middle and back dome light to blue so when i open doors, its blue

but anyways, i had no idea how to change the front map light bulbs, otherwise i'd change them super white so i can use them when i needed to. other than trying to read in blue light. um the blue middle and back dome lights, you can see a small place to put like a flat head or knife into to pry it open. somewhere along the inside edge of the plastic thinggy. i just slowly used my pocket knife to pop it open; changing the bulb is simple and idiot proof.

so yea,just go in your car and just look around, you'll see the spot to put like a small flathead in. it'll pop off easy, just dont force it =P the bulb is held on by two metal things, push either side and it'll fall right out.
