Can you please share what type of bulbs are these and where did you buy them? That's second generation 2.4L Alphard? But I assume for all second generation Alphard & Vellfire it might be same bulbs

I bought it from AliExpress very cheap and error free, it's a complete set of all interior bulbs and plus license plate bulb here's the link Rp 192,791  54%OFF | LED Interior Light Bulb Kit For Toyota Alphard Vellfire 10 20 Series 2003-2011 2012 2013 2014 Car Map Dome Trunk Canbus No Error

basically, all the sidelights, interior lights, number plate lights use the same capless bulbs, with the exception of the small boot illumination bulb, that looks like a fuse shaped bulb.

These type https://www.amazon.co.uk/Autobulbs-Capless-Sidelight-Bulbs-Interior/dp/B009ZJUI90

 

I replaced all my 5W and 8W capless using LED ones, whiter light, and brighter.

Far far far cheaper than going to halfords or the like, 10 bulbs for under a tenner, I bought 20 and did all bulbs at once (including the ones above the Visors)

Hi Chris

 

So which link from what you shared has the boot LED bulb? 

All my interior lights have the bright white LED lights installed apart from the boot which needs updating. 

Cheers

The interior light? On the right side? 

It's the one bulb I have not changed. 

It looks like a fuse.

I thought any exterior LED bulbs would fail an MOT??

   Does anyone know if this is a fact,as I would really like to fit LEDs for the reliability and better light?

Hello Danny,

 

Welcome to the Forum..

2nd MOT, no problems.

It's all about beam pattern, so don't put led in dipped beam.

Very useful information Chris thank you. Can I ask what the position lights are?

T10 or 501 or w5w bulbs. 

 

This may be a silly question but will the same LED bulbs (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/382904669684) fit a 2005 model ANH10?

For side lights, yes. 

 

Check the list of bulbs in the 10 series section of the forum.

Your front spot lights may also be HB4 on 20Series, worth a quick look before you purchase H11

This was so useful even 2+ years on! I ordered the very same LED lights which are still available, so thank you!

 

Much better than the original lights for both sidelights and number plate.
