To complete your LED conversion you'll want to do the reverse lights, too. I just installed this set and they are very white and very bright - they look fantastic. No resistors needed and no bulb warnings. Very easy to install - just remove the trunk lid black felt cover.

I can not for my life of me figure the difference between the iJDMTOY LED amber turn signal bulb lights and the original OEM turn signal bulbs. Can anyone post a side by side picture of the two? Thanks. I was originally going to get the white LED ones by iJDMTOY but im afraid my car will attract more attention from the cops than it already has since i just got the ARK grip cat back exhaust.

They are very obvious at night, been debating switching my signals To only signal once instead of the 3x to hide them a bit more during quick lane changes. I do find myself being a little paranoid driving at night with the fear of being pulled over because of the white (black car, dark tints and noisy as well).

Can you post a pic? I got some expensive ones and love the look, however one of them flickers. Been meaning to play around with the bulb to see if it's just a loose connection but if it's not I'll be in the market for another set and would appreciate seeing them prior to purchasing.

Sure - here's a daytime picture showing the new LED backup light on the left and the stock bulb on the right. The nighttime picture attempts to show how bright they are, but they're so bright it's hard to get a clean picture.

For those considering the iJDMToy Error Free 7440 LED Turn Signal Bulbs - here's what they look like in front in the white on an IS250 F Sport

I bought from IJDM too. The output of these LED bulbs are pretty bright. The best part I love them because there is no hyper blink.

I notice that the LED does came with a 'decoder' box which probably a 'load resistor' in a fancy box.

The LED's themselves are not error free but it's the decoder which makes it possible.

Maybe one day in the future the decoder/resistor could get integrated into the LED itself eliminate the decoder box.

One day, technology still needs a lot of advancement to make everything even smaller
