Default Clear Courtesy/Door Lenses?

Hey guys. I wanted to replace my courtesy bulb plastic. It is the red plastic marker that is stock red on the 2009 IS250 on the bottom of the door. Is there any way I can get a clear one? I dont like the red color since its more of a luxury car. Thanks guys

Assuming you want to replace the halogen bulb with an LED, you'll want a flank-style LED. Check out this guide for some info: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...de-w-pics.html

Yeah there is a clear one available (like irishcharm posted). It fits a few Toyota/Lexus models, including the 2IS from 2011+.

This is the clear one which already came with my 11. I put JLC's 5-SMD T10 in it, replacing the stock bulb which was there.

Both, yep!! It is the same reason why I'm selling a set of new ones in the FS section.

iirc, for those w/ red door lenses, the clear ones from the current-gen ES are interchangeable.

a search should confirm this.

It's also the same as:

2007+ LS
2007+ ES
2009+ RX
2010+ HS
2011+ IS
2010+ GX

2005+ Avalon
2007+ Camry
2007+ Tundra
2008+ Sequoia
2009+ Venza
2010+ 4Runner
2010+ Prius

In other words, a lot of cars use them, lol.

Default Clear Lens

I kept the OEM red ones and changed the bulb to LED type in RED. Just wanted to be different since I noticed lots of members went with the clear route. That light is to warn the door is open and red is the ticket for me.
