Revainrating 4 out of 5

Actually 2010 Highlander front and center roof mounts will hardly fit without mods.

Probably a replacement for the 168 you can be! I tried crossing the numbers on the lightbulb but it didn't work. For some really stupid reason, the Toyota manual lists the wattage of each bulb but not the bulb type. I've never seen that in a car's owner's manual. I didn't have time to measure the difference between the light output of the lamp and the LED assembly. The new LED assembly has an apparent brightness twice that of an incandescent lamp. The LED produces a much cooler, pure white light. Some people don't like such cool colors. In the front and back seats of a 2010 Toyota Highlander, the old light bulbs were too weak. I don't want to dig out my flashlight to find where I dropped the cartridge at 1:00 a.m. with just minutes until the season opener. And while trying to stay within the 5 second rule, I could never find the dropped fries because I couldn't see them without a flashlight. God! All five bulbs replaced with LEDs. My wife's department commented what I did to improve *her* car was that we noticed that we can now land planes around the car because it's so bright! Cute! The auto shut off after 15 seconds after closing the door still works. And all the LEDs get even brighter when you open the door. So wow wow. The four lightbulbs for the front and rear seats were like 194 or 168, but who knows, the numbers didn't overlap. So these LED assemblies are like the 194s in my Malibu yard lights. Toyota light bulbs have the same base but the filament envelope is smaller. In order to install the new headlamp assembly LED assemblies, the LEDs must be connected sideways and when installing the covers, slide sideways to release the light cover loop in the two maplit front skylights. . But they fit without "modifications", so roll the toolbox back into the corner. There is enough space in the center assembly (the "back seat") for the new LED assembly. Now I have big ol' clumsy fingers and when I use needle nose pliers to pry the bulb out of the socket I always end up with glass everywhere. Wrap a piece of painter's tape around the bulb and swing it around. Observe polarity. When replacing the last LED, note that the door open timeout has expired and your lamp assembly will not respond to door openings until all doors are closed to reset the timeout function to conserve lamp battery. Yes I know, at least I didn't run DVM until I figured it out. Going crazy I guess. You like the new landing lights, don't you?

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Easy serviceability
