I wanted to change stock bulbs, cuz they are yellowish and have bad light (Luminous Intensity). I didn't feel the same High Power bulbs with color temp - 6000K..

And this is the pic with comparision 6K (left) and 5K (right)


We don't have such LEDs for sale. Only can get by ordering from US. A lot of 6K bulbs for sale but not 5K. I'm completly satisfied!

Yep, you can buy 194 high power bulbs, as bigblack06 said. 6000K or 5000K - can be chosen. (Those 50$ only 6000K). I hade them some time in reverse lighs...
My first reverse lights

In attached pics these high power LEDs I used.

Lex Luga,
At first page of this thread I used 50$ - 8 watt.
At second page of the thread - 16$ - 2 watt. (was my first mod with reverse light)

Better 5000K, more light it seems to me, no blue color. Very nice.

I just put in some V-HIDs in my fogs and parkling lights as well. Looks glorious. I'll definitely have to look into the parking lights. Nicely done!

V-HIDs means a Xenon Kit (HID )

If you want LEDs in Fog lights, then...
V-LEDS 5K HID WHITE 28 LED 13W DRL/FOG LIGHT BULBS HB4 9006 B/O
Total Luminous Intensity: 400 lm
BUT not in stock NOW. I tried to order them 2 months ago - the result - "back order"

Also you can find on E-Bay one of these...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/260680565672
Their Luminous Intensity is about 200-250 lm.. Like mine in reverse lights. Make better a preorder on these.
LED - Good choice but Xenon and Halogen bulbs have more light output.

I got these too. But they are actually blue in person. The picture shows white for some reason.

These 5000K LED bulbs should have pure white light
GS4_Fiend, maybe you got the same bulbs but 6000K ?
By the way, these one - in stock.

I read one review. Maybe helpful for Lexus owners too...
