SILVER Star
Ordered these LEDs ages ago but finally got around to putting them in. They're big improvements and I'm pretty happy, but messed up ordering my first round since I was working off a 62 list and not a 60 list. I posted the list I ordered in a 60 thread. FJ60 LED Light Bulb List (Interior and Exterior) - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fj60-led-light-bulb-list-interior-and-exterior.1208525/page-3#post-14367333
302-WWHP4-V2 was a great substitution. I used 3100k and am happy with it. I overthought this too much.
I finally got around to installing of my lights and... I think there's a difference between the 62 and 60 here, my 60 calls for a 194-R-90 for the seatbelt. So I don't have any feedback on the RHP3 directly, but I'm sure the 3-LED combination would work great as long as its the right bulb for a 62.
2. I'm not sure what the heater lights are, but if it is a standard DE3175 bulb, then I think 302-WWHP4-V2 would be an appropriate substitution (same as the dome light I guess). It looks like the same bulb, but with surface-mount LEDs soldered to a circuit board instead of the axial LEDs. The other problem is that it would be 3100k, not 3300k... so closer to 3400k that the original order sheet calls for, but still not it. I see that @Advent used the 4500k LEDs, maybe they have an opinion on how close the color temperature of those ones, feels.

I had found those same eBay ones and purchased. Will report back once they arrive and I can install. I think any 1156 base will work as long as it is not too long. I have not taken off the lens covers to see how much clearance there is so I tried to find some close to an original bulb size.
I'll plan to give the RHP3 a try since I couldn't find a single led option. If it doesn't work well will search more for the original part. You happen to find a replacement?
Heater Light just goes behind the heat/ac controls I believe so the slider for fan and temp, etc. That whole large panel. Since only issue was bulb color I will just do something like this but with green if needed:

Check the relay for the heater. Was working on the rear heater on my FJ62 yesterday. Relay would click but still wasn't getting anything through it. Here's the wiring diagram for it. https://www.ih8mud.com/tech/88lc-wire/88lc-wd3.gif I figured out the problem. When I pulled the instrument...forum.ih8mud.com
I did find something fun while I was testing out my Cargo Lights. My main Cabin light is dead so hoping it is just a bulb issue. The Rear Cargo light works with on/off but when you turn to door and open the back glass the blower motor and rear defrost light in dash turn on. Guessing there is a short somewhere.
