Thanks. I've read a lot about people buying LED's and finding out they are inferior.
I.e. Don't put out much light or die quickly.

I'd like a little more light outside, so if I go through the trouble of changing them out, just want to make sure I'm putting in the best
Especially the puddle lights, as them seem to be a little more difficult to change out!

Can you post a link for the projectors? I hesitated on buying some of these because I assumed it wouldn't have the LEDs in addition to the projector.

Is that a plug and play setup and I'm guessing you don't have to remove the door panel.

you can literally install it in 10 seconds. Pry old one out, unplug, plug in new one, put it back in

I ordered a pair of the LED projectors. Can the logo direction be adjusted?

there are screws that hold in the projector. im sure you could undo them and flip it around. i left it the way it was since it was facing the same direction as my illuminated door sills.

I was also thinking of installing them on the rear doors, but thought logo might be distorted due to the location of the light. It's not really perpendicular with the ground. Might have to resort to the LED panel mentioned earlier.

Lexus i think has the worst lights from all the premier car brands. Aside from the LS, lights on lexus cars suck in comparison to others. Still using dated ugly bulbs and aren't using LEDS

Ever since we got our GS 10 months ago I have thought that something is not set right or not coming on in the interior. The interior lighting in general is pathetic. I would have bet money that some of the lights are not switched to come on when opening the door, but they are. I even asked the dealer if something is wrong when I took it in for it's 5000 mile check. Nope.

Before shot, with the dim bulb.


After shot, with the LED panel.



Brightness is significantly different. Too bad I already broke one of the clips. Waiting for my front LED projectors to arrive.
