    This is the same list as for the 2004. However if you have the foglights, you also have HID headlights, which uses different lamps that the ones listed for the headlights.

    May I suggest that lists like this be vetted somewhat before posting,
    rather than simply parroting Sylvania's webpage? Note that turn
    signals aren't listed [they're also 7440 but with *amber* envelope],
    and as Ken points out the stoplights are LED arrays. Sylvania has
    a priority of selling their products, not necessarily giving accurate
    descriptions of what's actually on the car.
    .
    This was giving me slight fits back in the "LED lighting" threads,
    since I was trying to find a sufficiently bright LED replacement
    for the turn signals. And the fact that 7440 type lamps come in
    different colors threw me for a bit too. According to the packaging
    hanging on the AutoZone shelf, the suffix -NA means amber, but that's
    the only place I've run into that kind of notation.
    .
    Sigma's got a fairly good selection guide up, but the website needs
    a few changes to make it a bit less cumbersome.

    Since I've been getting all close and personal with may of these bulbs, I figured I'd better start a list for my own sanity. I removed the info that I know to be false, and changed the other stuff that I have accurate info for. Here's my first stab:

    My attempt to accurately describe which bulbs fit where
    - 2006 Prius -

    High & low beam headlamp
    9003 or HID

    Parking light
    168/194/T-10 (5W)

    Tail light
    168/194/T-10 (5W)

    Turn Signal
    7440 [amber] (21W)

    Fog light
    9006

    License plate
    168/194/T-10 (5W)

    Back up light
    7440

    Front sidemarker
    168/194/T-10 (5W)

    Map light
    168/194/T-10 (8W)

    Dome light
    3175 (also fit: 3022/3021/6428/6430) (8W)
    (1.25", 31mm)

    Step/Courtesy light
    3175/3022/3021/6428/6430 (5W)
    (1.25", 31mm)

    Trunk/Cargo area

    You know that all new Lexus 2007 MY and onward will have LED brakelights (mabe taillights too?) and licence plate lights. The ones they have for the licence plate lights are similar to what they use for the interior maplights. It's white with a blue or purple tint.

    I used these
    for tail-lights. Perfect fit.

    They're too wide and long for the front-yellow sidemarkers. Still looking for an appropriate LED replacement.

    First off, I am not easily impressed with LEDs, you can really buy junk.

    For front-yellow side markers try these. (AMAZON link)
    They are really bright. Even in daytime.
    The link is for XENON WHITE, but the housing is amber so they look great.
    I tried 2 other LED bulbs prior to this one.
    I have had a good experience with Amazon - JDM ASTAR.
    The price is for 2 bulbs:

    JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright 5730 SMD 194 168 175 2825 W5W T10 LED Bulbs,Xenon White(Brightest T10 Bulb in the market)


    Also the reverse light I just tried is amazing, tried 2 others before this one.
    This one lit the front of my neighbor's house (across the street) at night:
    1200 Lumens each, the price is for 2 bulbs:

    JDM ASTAR 1200 Lumens Extremely Bright 144-EX Chipsets 7440 7441 7443 7444 992 LED Bulbs with Projector , Xenon White

    It's been over 2.5 years since the last update, so I'm sure that there have been advances in LEDs that mean the bulbs are more efficient so either brighter for the same current draw, or less draw for the same output.

    Has anyone compared multiple makes of bulbs? I'd love to, but don't have the budget for it right now.

    I'm mainly looking at 194/168 and 7440 bulbs.
