DIY Interior Lights (Map, Dome, Shifter, Courtesy Doors, Trunk, and License Plates)
Hey guys. I was able to shoot video for the installation of the map, dome, shifter, courtesy doors, license, and trunk lights. This is from the 2007 Toyota Camry Generation 6. I changed them all to LED. Videos below:
Map Lights:
Requires: 194 Wedge Base Bulb
Dome Lights:
Requires a Festoon 3022 Bulb.
Shifter Lights:
Requires a 74 Wedge (Instrumental) Bulb
Courtesy Door Lights:
Requires: 194 Wedge Base Bulb
License Plate Lights:
Requires: 194 Wedge Base Bulb
Trunk Light:
Requires: 194 Wedge Base Bulb
Reverse Light:
Requires: 921 Wedge Bulb
I recommend getting the most LEDs with the highest output available (20 high powered LED bulb).
LEDs are bought from www.superbrightleds.com and www.v-leds.com
Here is my invoice from www.superbrightleds.com.

Nicely done. In your video description or video, maybe point them to my Master LED list for all their questions and needs

Haha I know. I just thought it would be easier to take the whole thing off so the camera can see the linings of the car. By the way, I have posted links to your DIY section in the forum. They can be found in the video descriptions.

Great guide! Thanks! I think superbrightleds sold out of its white license plate LEDs.
Any 194 wedge bulb will work as license plate lights.
hehehe yes and they will have it on stock 6/9/09
well this mod will wait another week
I use this and its just as goodhehehe yes and they will have it on stock 6/9/09

No bulbs are designated specifically for any application. So as long its the right size bulb, it will work. These will also work
and a bunch of other 194's
Actually I would disagree but just by a little. Some LEDs, like the ones picture above are narrow and shoot light out while there are LEDs that are designed to have a wide angle or are placed evenly around a bulb.
Another factor you might want to consider are lumens. Some LEDs are brighter than others. High-powered LEDs are give off more lumens than standard ones.

One thing I wanna ask though, is, are LEDs "brighter" than regular? I can't remember the site, but one site said that LEDs aren't brighter than reg. Had me puzzling.
Yes. True. But I was referring to size. Like for the courtesy, you can get a flank bulb that is aimed only on aimed on the side. This could also be used for other one directional locations such as rear reading lights.

Majority of LEDs will cover 130° or more or something like that. Also, you have to see if the inside light has a metal plate. This can help disperse light as well.
Depends on the lumens you purchase. You may notice that some leds may cost the same but one has more leds than the other. It could be that the lesser led may be a higher lumen.
My LED turn signals and reverse lights arent as bright as filament bulbs but still visible during the day. The light doesnt scatter and has a cleaner look when it flashes. My interior seems brighter. But it all depends on how much you want to spend and which ones you buy.
