- Removing all my ugly yellow interior lights and replacing them with white LED.
If you're not able to remove the map lights at your center rearview mirror, please check out this video I made specifically for that:
• Lexus GX460 Hard to re...
Update:
Your GX interior takes roughly 12 bulbs to complete the LED package install. 2 vanity, 2 map, 2 mid row, 2 third row, and 4 door panel.
A lot of the packs don't provide quantity a quantity of 12 so you're going to have to buy 2 separate packs to have them add up to 12.

This was a great video and still applies to the 2022 Lexus GX. I used duct tape to pull out the bulbs and I was done in less than 15 minutes. Thank you for showing both options to get to the from map lights! This save me so much aggravation so I din't have to pull down the entire center!
Glad to help Nicole and thanks for sharing! 😁
Great video. I ordered blue LED interior lights from Amazon and love the results. Used bright white LED lights for the running boards. Feel like I’m getting in a space ship when driving at night now. 🚀
Better yet, a nightclub....lol.
Thanks GxBob! This can be done in literally 15 minutes after watching just a minute of your vid. Those map lights /reading lights were in there good! I used the duct tape and then pliers and pulled em out.
Hey, this way is less invasive.

Thanks so much for your videos…I swapped out all lights except for the very back one in the cargo area (ran out of LEDs!). I have not attempted the under seat lights…those worry me a bit, although when my incoming set of Auxito LEDs shows, I may attempt it and also swap out the cargo lights. These LEDs really make a difference. The ones I got for the running boards weren’t Auxito, and on a couple, I had to make adjustments to the socket and prongs…and for some reason, they didn’t want to re-seat…then would drop into the light cover…and I had to take them off…more than once..lol. But I would never have attempted any of it, without your videos. I have a 2023 Premium, by the way. Thanks again!
I almost shed a tear reading your comment. Thanks man.
Thank you! I love being able to look for information online and someone like you has done exactly what I am looking for!! Great video !
Glad it was helpful! Still trying to discover new issues people are having and cranking out a video to help them out with. Thanks for tuning in!!
Thanks Bob, this video helped me install my own LEDs! As a side note, I wasn't happy with the cheap LEDs I got off Amazon so I already upgraded those to Diode Dynamics LEDs and would strongly recommend them!
Diode Dynamics LEDS? Something worth looking into , thanks!
whats the DD part number?
You all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Maddox Ulises instablaster :)
@Felipe Brock Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Bob, great video. I just upgraded by light to the LED white kit. How to remove the bulbs easily on the ceiling? - USE ELECTRICAL TAPE. Just take a 3 or 4 inch length of tape and pinch it around the bulb and pull down. Safe and it never breaks the bulb.
I actually have a video in my channel to access it from behind which is pretty easy too.
A little tip for those that struggled with the map lights. Use a latex glove and it’s a piece of cake. That little extra grip is all I needed.

thanks Mr. BOB, please keep doing more videos we really appreciate your work, I'm starting a project to change my GX 460 from 2015 to 2020 and your channel really helped me a lot to do it myself
Thanks for the comment! If you come across a short cut for any of my videos, feel free to share! Thanks.
A 2021 headlamp assembly is coming up. Thanks being onboard Brut.
A small, skinny flat head screwdriver helped pop the factory bulbs out. Great upgrade!
One of the more easier and cheapest upgrades to do. Definitely a must if you just picked up your vehicle. Thanks for the comment.
GX Bob for the win nice and easy.
Bob thanks these lights make all the difference!
Replacing interior lighting to LEDs is pretty much a MUST!! Or at least at Mr. BOB's house.
The running board lights are the ones that really stand out at night. They use the same bulbs.
10 Amber lights in the interior make it look close to the original bulb color just way brighter and a nicer amber color. I tried white on the inside and it seemed to bright and no fun, you can also see bugs make a beeline straight to them. Amber looks really cool and I get more compliments.
Never thought about that. Thanks for the input Jay!
Link to the amber lights please?
@jaycarl1562 brand? Link?
Thanks for this great video. I hope these fit the 2022 GX 460. I know the body has remained the same.
I wish i had the money to buy a 2022 so i can confirm the fitment for you.
My 22' just came in 2 days ago, let me know if these ended up working for you. I'd like to swap mine as well
Thank you so much Bob. Just replaced them on my 2023
Any time brother! Thanks for watching.
Great video! I laughed, I cried , you totally changed my life GX Bob!!
Thats like watching a korean drama series.
Once again, you da MAN! Thank you sir, much better lighting inside my 2011 GX460! Cheers n beers!
You should try hot pink. Looks incredibly nice.
@@GXBOB bwahahaha
Another A+ video. I changed all my bulbs to led, watched this vid some time ago but I just completed the install, thank you.
Awesome, what a difference those lights make compared to the old ones.
@@GXBOB the difference is literally night and day
Thank you for a great vid. All worked perfectly.
Good to hear!
Yeah, the duck tape trick worked out great from the interior 6 bulbs 👍
You must have really strong duct tape.
Thank you. Your video made it a 10 minute job
Are you sure it wasn’t 9 minutes?
Nice job you explained the procedure very well. Thanks
Thank you Gerry. There is also a video out in my library if you're not able to get the map light bulbs out.
Great vid. Thanks Bob.
upgrade completed
You’re on a roll
Just ordered the kit on ebay. Thanks for another cool video! I LOVE DIY!!!
The kit comes with 4 LED bulbs for underneath your running boards that I didn't bother to show in this video. Just FYI.
@@GXBOB I already did the running boards. Love it!
BOB are the running board ones the same bulb type?
He did another video. I used those lights already.
@@megafast13 yes they are!
You still have 2 under side skirts when you open the door light will turn on with LED better 👍🏻, thanks for your details video
I actually did those too but i did not show them in the video. I have them on my 2nd generation GX video. 4 LED bulbs under the running boards.
@@GXBOB are the running board LED lights the same as the interior door and maps lights you installed?

No problem Tim, i'm just surprised at how many Vietnamese people are coming across this channel. Welcome aboard.
Five stars 👍 amazing video
Thank you Marcel!
I would advise you WEAR safety glasses when you are trying to pull out the bulbs from the map reading. I shattered a bulb prying it out and it shattered sending small pieces of glass all over, some got into my eyes. Not good.
Thanks Tony, i created another video for an alternative path to get to those lights. Hope it helps and thanks for the input. Don't mind the commentary, my sense of humor is what got me divorced.

Your video clip the best.
Thank you very much
GX460's from 2018 and above have the new white LED lights.
Its about damn time
Really? My 2019 has the yellow lights and I'm looking to change them.
@@NdiNaija Yup. Maybe the lights differ from region to region.
Hey Bob... thx for this video. What do you say about the sun visor lights? Do you suggest changing those? And how?
hey Bob, thanks for the info. It’ll make it easier for everyone if you paste the eBay info in your video description.

Would you recommend another brand of lightbulbs, the one suggested tend to burn out after a couple years or before. thx!
Cedric, not sure if that data is correct or you had a one-off but i've had Auxito LED on all my GX's for years and years without fail. Keep in mind Auxito has a 2 year warranty on their LED bulbs. It states it on the Amazon page. BUT....you want to try the Lasfit LED error-free bulbs for $35 a set, here's the link.

Awesome video!
Thanks Chris.
I used duck tape rapped around front and rear top lights map and back seat.
For what purpose?
@@GXBOB to get them out without a pick tool. The front was the hardest for me. I wrapped the duck tape around the old bulbs while stile installed then just pulled them out by the tail of ducked tape. It was very quick and easy.
@@mheymann411 i did a video about it since a lot of people were getting shattered glass in their eye.
th-cam.com/video/c_I5MNkU_VI/w-d-xo.html
@@GXBOB ah didn’t see that one but the duck tape trick works guess i should make one lol.
Awesome video. Got the majority of the changed. Do you have a video for the actual removal of the under seats and vanity lights?
underseats, i believe may need to be modified. I'm working on one. Its on the list of things to do.
Has anyone had issues with the lights staying on but just very dim? I have installed LEDs before on another vehicle and after sitting for a long time they drained the battery.
If your lights are on and are dim, you have a minor short somewhere. I would first check each of your light sockets to see any corrosion, water damage, white dust, green discoloration, etc..., your positive and negative bulb contacts are making contact with one another. I'm speaking from experience.
The map lights of 2017 GX 460 are too hard to be taken off. I tried flat head screw drive, plastic tool and needle nose pliers. Non of that works. Almost damaging the slot of the light bulb . Finally I gave up
Hey Steve. Invest in this set. I have one and it has been a life saver for many projects. www.harborfreight.com/pick-and-hook-set-7-pc-69592.html?cid=paid_google|||69592&gclid=Cj0KCQiA48j9BRC-ARIsAMQu3WR7nlbYNVAv9-CdjaAiGEA1nWk5QAeMI6YjHEGfJdhGwrrEGysUN5saAtGVEALw_wcB
@@GXBOB thank you
what voltage are the typical light bulbs for that car? i dont want to screw up whatever electronic thing because i put in some too high or too low volt LED light bulb.
LED draws barely any voltage to damage your electrical system. The ones sold are meant for vehicle applications. Your interior lighting circuit is also protected with a fuse.
Love your page, Bob! Can you go more into detail on how you removed the overhead/map light bulbs? I’m having issues trying to swap those out and getting them to pop out. Thanks for all the helpful videos!
Hey Felix, invest in a set of plastic pry tools. You'll need them to do a lot of your interior work in place of a flathead screwdriver. I usually just use my plastic pry tool and dig into a corner or slot of the light lense. If you look closer, you'll notice your light lenses have slots built into them for you to stick a small flathead screwdriver in. Hope that helps.
BOB this helps a ton, thanks! I was scared to break off something digging into to those slots, but I will try again.
@@felixdelgado1009 were able to figure out how to remove the bulbs? My fingers are too fat to grab!
Stephen Hwang yes I just used a flathead screwdriver, like BOB mentioned, stuck it into a corner and popped them out!
@@felixdelgado1009 Was afraid to shatter the bulbs but they all popped out fine. Thanks!
Bob, your link takes me to site but 6000k lights are 59 bucks for 2 packs of 10. What am I doing wrong ?

Great video Bob. Do you think we can do mood lighting in GX just like we get in Merc and BMW's?
Whats the purpose of mood lighting?
Great video but exactly how did you use that pry tool for the trunk lights, I can’t get mine to come out.
Those bulbs are tight and slippery. Some require a pick tool and don’t forget a pair of safety glasses. Another option is to remove the entire unit and remove the light from behind. I have a video on an alternative method for removing maplight.
Hello GXB!
You mentioned a kit you got on Amazon for $13 bucks, but your link has been changed to Auxito. When I click the link I don't see any prepackaged kits for my 2013 GX. Do I need to do some digging or is this site setup ala carte? Thank you!
You might not get a complete set because you need a total of 12 for your interior. Most kits come in 10 quantity . So you have to buy a combo set to add up to 12. Search for 194 type led for fitment.
@@GXBOB Gottit! Thank you!!
Do you know which led bulb to use for the illuminating Lexus on the front door scuff plates? My passenger side is not illuminating. Thank you
i believe that is not a bulb. That may be an entire unit you have to replace. I can not confirm or deny this but i have sought after those illuminating scuff plates to replace with led aftermarket ones and they are one complete unit.
Awesome thank you
You’re welcome!
What about the lights under the running boards?

Great helpful! !!!
To take out the interior lights I used a long nose pliers...it was easier for me
we found that some bulbs don't react too kindly with needle nose pliers and the glass breaks and falls into your eyes. Be careful.
thx I just bought the lights. so this will work for the plate as well? front and rear?
the 2014 and up plates do not have removable bulbs. I'm not sure of 2013 and older.
Hi how are you? Could you video how to replace boot illumination lights an Lexus RX 350 (2016)

Hi bob, how are you? I see another movie clip you used AUXITO FOR INTERIOR LIGHT, but you did not put the link , so I buy from Amazon 194/168/2825 can I used that for all interior 2022 Lexus gx 460. And the way take the old one out is it the same with the way you do on your car, thank you very much bob, btw, I like sometime you put the joke inside story, thanks again
Hey Tommy to be honest i can’t confirm or deny the fitment of the 2020+ GX’s as that’s the only years I’ve never been fortunate to own yet. I’m willing to bet that it hasn’t changed but the good thing is Amazon has an incredible return policy.
Any suggestions for interior light bob? Or what kind the light should I buy like 198 etc, I look on manual book but didn’t show anything, thank for your help Bob.
Thanks 🙏
Welcome!!!
Hey!
Would this be the same way for the little light in the side arm resting storage?
Did you mean at the bottom corner of your plastic door panel? Then yes.
I probably watched the video 30 times but couldn't figure out how you got the lights out from map and dome.
try a pair of needlenose pliers and wear safety glasses. They might pop on you.
@@GXBOB thanks for the reply. Should I just pull it straight down? Or is it held by some kind of button which needs to be pressed?
@@aniladitya The bulbs fit very very snug. All you need to do is get someone with really skinny fingers to hold really tight onto the bulbs and pull. Make sure your fingers are not slippery with oil. The access is very small , that's why I recommend needelnose pliers. There is nothing holding the plugs in there except friction.
Hello sir one question after installation no computer problem for the gx 460
No problem at all. These light bulbs take very little power consumption.
bob, I ordered the lights from ebay but it only came with 8 of those big LEDs (the ones the 5 lights). I ended up using the flat top LEDs for the middle row lights and the big LEDs for everything else (doors, driver row lights, and cargo lights). Did you have this problem as well?
I did not have that problem but then again i walked away with extras that i have no idea where they’re supposed to go. I don’t think it’s GX specific so i just used what worked.
Very helpful Sir. Love it, where did you get led lights ( from Amazon??)
I actually got this set on ebay . Copy and paste this in Ebay " 16 x Xenon White Interior LED Lights Package For 2010 - 2017 Lexus GX460 +TOOL "

Hi, after a while, how are they now, still on? Or they don’t last that long? Thanks
Still on and working great
Where did you get the yellow plastic pry tool used to pop open the covers?
Harbor freight sells plastic trim removal kits.
Did you ever figure out where the odd bulbs go?
Nope. I have extras of a lot of stuff. I think Amazon sellers pack them so that they are able to accommodate more than just one car to be efficient.
So, my third mod since finding you on TH-cam, changed out my entire lights to LEDS. Big difference. Still can't find your email. Isn't supposed to be in the "About" tab in your cover page?
You should consider adding the led to your wheel wells too. Makes a big difference. Luckyapril7@hotmail.com

How the hell were you able to take off the bulb from the two map reading? I got the plastic cover off but the blulbs are recessed deep in and fingers will not grab a hold of them to pull them out. I wish you did NOT skip the taking out the bulb step out.
I ran into the same problem. How do you get the map lights out?
I had trouble also but it was because I have fat fingers so it was just hard to go in to grab it securely but it came out when I wiggled it a bit and held it as firmly as I could.
