hey guys,

First time here. I have a Rav4 2006 and i am looking for part numbers for the MAP Lamp bulb. This is the interior lights that are in the front side of the car, not the dome lights but next to the Sun visor. I think they are also called Courtesy lights.

If you have any part numbers for this, i would greatly appreciate it. It seems the light stopped working for me and it may need replacing. Hopefully i can find something at the AUTOZONE

Thanks

The owner's manual doesn't give a number--it shows them to be 8 watt wedge-base bulbs. The license plate bulb is a 168 rated at 5 watts and the backup lights are 921's rated at 16 watts. They all have the wedge base.

 

Thanks James!

I have another question.
Can i change these with LEDs or should i stick with the regular 8 watt wedge? Should i try putting in something higher than a 8 watt??

 

I would definitely use LED's if possible. They run cooler, last longer, and produce a whiter light. As for incandescent bulbs, you could try 10 watt, but I wouldn't go much higher than that.

 

I just bought one of these at the local Toyota dealer. Here's the information:

Toyota Part Number: 90981-11062
Printed on the glass: TOSHIBA 12V8W
Cost: $3.22 plus tax

This particular dealer had only one in stock. The parts guy said they don't sell very many of them.

HTH,

OK, I can confirm that these 168 wedge base 8 watt lamps are used in both map lights and both vanity lights:

Toyota Part Number: 90981-11062
Printed on the glass: TOSHIBA 12V8W

The 168 bulb for the license plate looks identical, but is only 5 watts. The "festoon" bulb in the dome light is rated at 5 watts, but the larger one in the cargo door light is 8 watts. I'm replacing them all with LED's--noticeably brighter and cheap from Ebay.
