Both the "grain of wheat" bulbs and silicon caps can be purchased easily off ebay, however its hard to see why you wouldnt go with white leds (SMD variety). They are brighter and more efficient.

In any case keep the plastic part of the lights. The bulb is only loosely wired into it, its the part that is meant to be replaced.

I had to retrofit LEDs into the original plastic mount to work

I know this thread is over 10 years old now, but it's been useful for me, aside from the different sizes being suggested. The correct sizes are:

  • A/C panel buttons - 3x T4.2 (not T4.8 or T5!)
  • A/C panel LCD screen - 3x T3

Be aware that the T3s for the LCD screen are quite small in size, LEDs with large diffusers on them might not fit. The LCD screen bulbs can only be accessed by pulling apart the A/C panel unit itself, just a few tabs, but be careful not to break them.

Where did you get these bulbs from. Can’t find them anywhere.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
