LEDs to replace interior lights: Which ones? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Guys, the 48 LED board will NOT fit into the trunk area!!! Check my orignal post.

There is only 2cm x 4.5 cm worth of space. I cut a cardboard template of each light board before I ordered, based on the specs supplied form VLEDS. The 30 LED board is rectangular and will fit the trunk light housing. The 48LED is square and impossible to fit. The 48 LED board fits perfectly into the cabin light area, which has excess space to spare with a 7.5cm x 4.5 cm housing (approximately).

Some late night photography! Sorry for my crappy night pics... no tripod. Picures can only show so much. These lights really brighten up the cabin. I can actually see the floor and back seat area, with no shadows or ugly yellow. The white color is consistent with amongst all VLED lights, for all cabin, map, and trunk lighting.

Interior map (2 x 11 LED 194 bulbs) and cabin (1 x 48 LED board)...

More pics of the trunk using the 30 LED board. No more ugly, dim, warm white/yellow incandescent bulbs!!!

Yes, the 48 LED board fits into the DOME light (that is the one that goes off and on with the door opening). Naturally the board doesn't fit into the bracket where the festoon was. You have to run the dummy-festoon and wiring to the power clips, then mount the LED board somewhere in the plastic housing of the dome light.

I've received my LEDs from V-LEDs just then and installed! I've to say "This is Awesome! Extremely Bright and just fit except for Number Plate (11 LED 194 bulbs) :( A little bit long but still managed to install into it.
