Here are 4 pics I took. The bottom two, I speed up the shutter speed so it appears that it doesn't really light up the area, but it does as the first two would indicate as the first were at a slower shutter speed.

I had the same problem about a week ago when I installed mine. I used a lighter to heat up the backside of the housing so that it would stretch when I twisted to lock it in. Once it passes that point where it catches it fits fine.

Works great with puddle light. I chose those for a solid even distribution of light.
Hey buddy, did you buy a kit, or did you buy all those individually or do they all take the same bulb?

I ordered, or "pre-ordered" VLED's new flank bulbs which supposedly are a new design that's suppose to fit 06 and up Lexus puddle light application (it says it on the description). I'm currently waiting for them to come in, ETA says mid April. $15 shipped. Will post pics when I get them
