Default OEM taillight bulb for IS 350?

Ive noticed them in the new IS 350 model. Do yall know or will anyone check for me on yalls tailllights, are they an LED housing or is the brake light an LED bulb? Ive seen a few the past couple of days in front of me and they look like its an LED bulb in the brake light and not an LED housing like the new Infiniti's? If so does anyone have a picture of the bulb and know where to get a set besides the Lexus dealership, we dont have one in town? I tried using Google and also searching on here but came up with nothing so i started my own thread. Thanks for the help!!!

My 06 has factory LED tail lights, the only lights that are not LED in the back are the turn signals and the backup lights.

Ok so how many different taillights did Lexus make for the IS? I am hearing people with standard incandescent bulbs, and some with LEDs (like mine). So were there certain years or packages that came with the LED taillights? I just assumed we all had them.

for reverse, currently some generic 921 led, i will be upgrading to this soon:

the reason i have waited to upgrade the reverse is cuz there hasnt been anything, till now, that i woulda been satisfied with.

Are those plug & play or somewhat easy to install?

plug n play, yes its just a simple bulb swap.

easy to install, depends on how mechanically inclined you are BUT i would have to say, yes its very easy, easier than a low beam D4S swap.

Sweet. Just ordered the same ones you linked, I really dont like how our car has the LED brake lights but not the rear turn signals.

Oh you can also get rid of that hyper flash by using the Electronic Flasher but your lock and unlock flash confirmation will not work. Better than installing load resistors IMO.
