Interior lights, LEDs?

[Auris Geezer 8]

Hi, Has anyone swopped out the interior bulbs for LEDs that are a bit brighter please?  If so, where did you get them from?

Cheers Trev.

I had the front ones from Halfords . Much better light . I have not changed the centre one

There have been several topics, use search,  you can find details about bulb sizes and experiences there.

Alternatively the full owners manual (not the abbreviated version supplied since approx 2014), gives the bulb types. One can download the full owners manual from  https://www.toyota.co.uk/tme#/my-toyota/eManual

Can be downloaded either by entering the vehicle's VIN or doing a generic search.

I've bought LED bulbs for interior fitment from Amazon previously.

I bought a pack of the 10 pack plastic coated ones and did the interior ones X3 bootx1 ( standard boot light bulb is rubbish) and number plate light bulbs (pain to change) cost fiver result much better whiter light

Would I be correct in assuming the interior lights are not connected to the canbus, so the LEDs won't show up as an error?  That's assuming the Auris has a canbus.🤔???

[eygo 212]

you wont have any error messages after changing to leds

i think the canbus only monitors the external lights.

eygo is correct, no errors with LEDs. For the actual bulbs, have a look on ebay and you can get a full set for the specific car.

Thank you Gents, much appreciated.

I changed all of mine from Amazon, lovely bright cool white and still “fades” when times out when locking car. Simple and great mod.

Do you have a link please?

[eygo 212]

whatever you do dont buy warm white make sure you buy cool white.

Thanks to all who have replied here, much appreciated.

Here is a photo of the interior light unit, please could you tell me where to prise off the clear covers to access the bulbs?  I've checked the manual, both hard copy, and the more detailed online manual, and I've found no mention of how to change the bulb(s).

Cheers, Trev.

just gently pry by the hinges the lens will unclip

you can see a clear gap in the lens pry there

Many, many thanks Mark.

Cheers, Trev.

If your accident prone cover the flat bladed screwdriver with a small sloth so any slippage won’t cause damage 

[Auris Geezer 8]

Fortunately, I'm not too far away from Chester zoo, so getting hold of a sloth won't be much of a problem 🙂

@eygo Just tried it, worked a treat, top man!

Remembered I had a bag of assorted LED bulbs in the garage and just had enough of the right types to swap out my interior bulbs. Nice white light now instead of the yellow.
