How To Upgrade Interior Lights?

[SmithCraig896]

Hi, I have decided to upgrade the interior lights on my 03 Avensis D4D. I want to give LED a go. I'm looking for something a little brighter than the existing dull yellow bulbs. Anyone know what type and what sort of bulb and length mm is needed?

If it's a T22 (Mk1) Avensis, the interior bulb is a 269 fitting (30mm festoon). Personally I tried a white LED bulb but didn't like the bright, cold light that it cast over the cabin!

it's a T25 (Mk2) Avensis. Will the interior bulb, a 269 fitting (30mm festoon) fit this model?

Acccording to Google the interior light for the T25 is a 239, 5 watt, 38 mm size like this:

Rear Number Plate LED's? Will the interior bulb, a 269 fitting (30mm festoon) fit this model? Thank you for all your help!

The number plate bulbs for your model are different to the interior bulb, number 207 5 watt bayonet fitting. Make sure you spend extra with LED bulbs and buy good ones as I've been through a few cheap pairs that fade after a handful of hours' use. It looks like something like this would be suitable:
