I put Philips LED bulbs on the 2 door lights and on the middle roof light. I cant really get good pictures with my phone but ill try to have someone take some with a better camera. It looks a lot more modern and really nice at night when i walk up to the car, press the alarm to unlock the doors and the interior has that white glow.

I just got some for my new Camry, I regret not having spent the 15$/pair for Philips stuff sooner...

The 12yr warranty doesn't hurt either... Even bought their bright-*** reverse lights. Too sick and light up reverse cam very well at night.

Yeah it's funny, I have had a set of 20smd 194 leds laying around and never bothered because I just didn't care about the door lights, but I just replaced all 4 and they really do make a difference.

Yeah the Philips are a nice, warm white. Looks real clean. I want put replace the trunk, license plate, lights by the sunglasses holder and the glove box. I think i got everything covered if i do those.

I wonder why these cars dont have lights on the back doors?

Just go on Philips site and put the car in. It gives you the list of bulbs and sizes needed. Choose LED ones and order.

Lack of wood trim around the stereo doesn't look as bad as I would have thought. Did you use the Lexus amp or the head units internal? Or both?

Nah it blends right into the upper black dash, clock, etc

Amp bypass so its disabled. I think the amp only pushes the sub, not sure if the stock speakers even have a seperate amp.

The factory Pioneer drives 4 speakers plus the sub.
