    Does anyone sell a lens that I could pop into the little led light in the ceiling to actually focus it on the gear shifter knob? I've come to learn that was the intention of that light, but in my 2022 XLE it's way too unfocused (thus, too dim) and not even aimed correctly. I'm thinking a little after market plastic lens would be perfect.

    Would an led bulb help?

    I think that's what it is already. Gen 3 has it too.

    You could always visit your local electronics shoppe and peruse the LEDs; they have wider and narrower beam patterns marked on the package or shown on the datasheet. Maybe just replacing the one you've got with one that is already focused more to your taste would be simpler than trying to find a lens that would work.
