Did those which im pretty sure are t3's, but I still need to do the four below that which look like this


and here are the other ones



I took out my mirror switch the other day and I noticed that it also has a replaceable bulb which appears to be a t3. Im going to pull my door panels off and see if all the door/window switches have removable bulbs as well.

I got mine from warden on ebay, but I think my next few will be from v-leds. I think with just about any led its hit or miss. One of mine from warden flickers from time to time and one of my drl led's from v-leds is sometimes dim.

yeah i dont care for wardens bulbs after using some. i bought his t3's t4's and t5's and they are all dim. but one of my v-led bulbs in my center console went out last night so AGAIN i have pulled my center console. i have one bulb in my license plate that KEEPS dying from v-led so now i have purchased some of these





(they are JDM altezza or is300 license plate lights and come with 3 leds per side, just hope they bright enough for me)

also called t-3 or t-4 bulbs would have to see the bottom to see which one it is. any pics of how bright yours are?

okay Ive been wondering this for the longest...

I did this on my Old LS and was wondering if the process is as easy on the GS as it was on my LS.... they seem to use the same twist lock bulbs

THIS is the procedure I used... well atleast the bulbs and the type.

http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/light...klighting.html

SOOOO I wanted to know IF its as simple as twisting out and twisting in some bulbs like it was for the LS

I honestly can tell you, I am not all for this soldering and getting resistors and ETC that a lot of these other guys do to get super bright climate controls.

Im also not trying to change the LED's on the button controls either... just the back lighting...

Ive been wanting to know this for THE longest.
