Default Just installed Front signal bulbs..white

I have a big problem with my drive side headlights due to condensation when its cold. i decided to check it out and i still cant find the problem.. maybe a manufacturer defect?

anyways. since i have already took things apart, i decided to install these 744x? bulbs that my uncle gave me and told me to try it on my signal bulbs.

one of a kind?

i installed the Left side in like 10 minutes, pop out and replace!



so now i do the right side.. STUPID LEXUS MAKE THE DAMM FRONT SO SMALL!

i had trouble trying to find the socket, so i took off my bumper.. replaced the bulbs and replaced the bumper.. took me about 1 hour -_-

now the results. enjoy..


no light

with new bulbs




anyone know how i can make my vinyl roof more shiny?

I've heard waxing or Armour-All will gloss up the vinyl. Never done it personally, just what I heard. No harm in trying.

The white bulbs for your signals have been done and I like them but I just don't think I will be doing it on my IS.
