Same bulb for the rear license plate too. Might as well change those too.

Upgrade the lights to led like these AUTOGINE White LED Interior Lights Kit for Toyota RAV4 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Super Bright 6000K Interior LED Lights Bulbs Package + Install Tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0834MJ2L3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_6SKKKFFZ4R6M67R8FDS6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I got this kit from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/BRISHINE-Interior-Package-License-Install/dp/B08F4R31SX/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=9LA7APIXUK2S&dchild=1&keywords=cx5+led+interior+lights&qid=1632018836&sprefix=cx5+le&sr=8-3

It came with a plastic pry tool, it worked well until it was time to do the vanity mirror lights. A small flat head screw driver worked a lot better to remove the vanity light cover.

These are the bulbs I used: BRISHINE White Interior LED Lights Kit for Mazda CX-5 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Super Bright 6000K LED Interior Light Bulbs Package + License Plate Lights and Install Tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F4R31SX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_A1JKS3A9SZHY3G1S8JF8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Based on recommendations from other redditers, these are what I went with. Since I just installed them, I cannot speak to their longevity; however, since the install was super easy, I’m happy to replace if needed.

Thanks for your input!

I bought these. The ymake the car so much brighter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F4R31SX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I did change the trunk light as well yes. These are the lights I purchased.

Super easy instal! The license plate housing is tricky though I will say. Had to use a small flathead to pry it off since the tool provided wasn’t quite sturdy enough!

LoL I have a model 3 also. Great minds think alike.

My wife said the same thing about two EVs. That’s why we don’t have a Y. But honestly I like the RAV4 Prime more than the Y.

Video on how to install. (Not my video just the one I used)

https://youtu.be/cfPcgMbhLOY

Done!

I ended up parking outside in the sun and used a pry tool to slide the OEM halogen bulb out into a paper towel. Then the task of sliding in my new LED was easy cheesy.

I bought some cheap 194 LEDs on Amazon. Will probably buy better bulbs later

Fronts Dome Lights are 194

Rear Dome & Trunk are DE3175

Best upgrade I’ve done so far. No converters needed, plug and play.

Not OP but I bought these ones https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F4R31SX/.

Easy to install, except the license plate ones that I didn't change as it didn't come off easily and didn't want to break for something I'm never seeing

I believe it's DE3175. I bought them as a kit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F4R31SX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It comes with vanity lights and one for the lift gate as well.

Heck yeah. Super easy to do with nice bright results. Amazon sells model-specific LED kits and there a bunch of threads about it. This is the one I used but it doesn’t list 2022 as a fit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F4R31SX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I personally ordered 2 sets of these (link below) for my 2021M3LR. I put them in the front and rear doors and everything is fine. I do know that others claimed they had problems with earlier versions on pre 2020 cars. If you do have any problems, just remove the lights and replace with your original ones.

I agree on the Led Lights. I picked up Powerty Lights. I went a similar route for the speaker upgrade. I went with component speakers for the doors and dash, and paired it with the Kicker Key 200.4, and ran the Auto Setup to get the speakers time-aligned and equalized using the provided microphone. I'm running the component set as active, so I'm not using the crossovers that came with the speakers. My rear speakers are stock, as its usually just me in the rav, but I'm thinking about getting the same setup for the rears as well.

If by plug in you mean led bulbs, not completely new light housings, these work great for me

I would look at the rear hatch lighting in case you have to change a tire at night or something along those lines.

Even in the 2022 rav4, the lighting is not good at all. I carry portable flashlights in my car in case I need more light but there’s an add on you can DIY and have way better lighting. I’ll post a link. Enjoy.

Not sure what style led you have but I got these off Amazon and they are a huge improvement for our style light housing. The lows and highs work as should.
Beamtech H13

I saw these led lights on some other post so I got these. Tried change a few bulb (visor and dome light).

The procedure was simply popping off the cover and swapping the bulbs, but tbese lights were too bright. The one in the visor was blinding so I returned it.

Hey man, I live in a wooded area out in the middle of nowhere. We have no street lights or anything, and the OEM bulbs were terrible in my 2010 MGM - it was definitely a safety hazard. I saw a YouTube video and the guy recommended these from Amazon. I switched to them and they’re great.

BRISHINE White Interior LED... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F4R31SX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share They really look great! The trim tool it comes with is crap. I just used a small screwdriver and was careful.

Wrote them a message. Will update thread accordingly.

I just did this on my 2014 Patriot last week….did a LOT of research after I made the mistake of just ordering LED bulbs that then would turn off while driving!!! Here is what I used last week and NO issues at all! (fanless Beamtech bulbs & SIRIUSLED Decoder…very simple to install)

Both work perfectly.

The headliner looks fine in my opinion. Only thing is, well worth the money to get LED interior lights. Makes it a lot more sleek. Easy to install. BRISHINE White Interior LED... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F4R31SX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
