    My 2006 prius small lamp next to indicator lamp (I guess it is called parking lamp) right side is burned out. I am planning to replace it myself, probably by LED bulb. I could not find specification of bulb in the manual. Any help with specification, where to buy, approx price, and directions to change (or suggest if it is a good idea to change myself at all) will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    You can find out bulb sizes on sylvania.com.

    If it's like the Gen 3, then you have to remove the bumper cover and partially remove the headlight housing to access the parking light bulb.

    Thanks. I did search and it gave result with bulb type 168, 194, 2825, W5W and size T3-1/4

    When I look for led equivalent on amazon, it shows results for 168, 194, 2825, W5W T10. Could not find one with T3-1/4. Does the T10 fit?

    Both of my parking lights were burnt out and I bought replacement bulbs at an auto parts store. The replacement on my 2008 should be like yours. Very easy. There are some good videos on you tube that show how you can change a Gen 2 parking bulb in about 2 minutes. I was thinking of getting the LED bulbs also but once I saw how easy it was to change them, I bought the regular bulbs (I think for about $5).
