Wow Tee, those are crazy bright!!! Looks like I'll be changing mine out... AGAIN! lol!

I also noticed your glovebox looks nice and tight. Did you DIY fix on that?

Thanks again for hooking us up with this info.

No problem man, that is what it all about helping out the 460/600hL fam! I can't take all the credit tho, CJITTY found then and took a chance on them.

My Lexus tech at the dealer hooked me up by tightening the loose hinges so I did not have to buy the replacment parts.

Good Deal. I'll have to send my wife to the dealer and see if she can work her magic

I can't help but notice but are you using a power inverter to use a home charger to charge your phone in your car? Why don't you just get a low profile cig lighter plug and use your USB cable with that in your arm rest. You won't have that big plug setup in the back seat area. Just a thought. Here's a link.

Amazon Amazon

6000k light looks bluey to people who are used to looking at dingy azz yellow bulbs, just get them and be happy! Tee's pics speak for themselves and they are bright white IMO..Amazon has an awesome return policy if you don't like them..we are talking about $2.50...you spent more at Starbucks today...but if two vets on this forum that have various LED related posts aren't enough to convince you, then hey, not sure what to tell ya mane

LOL! I had a feeling this would come up, well I have a lot of Apple products in the household iphones, ipods and ipads with a lot of chargers. The converter is for the ipad, laptops etc when we travel and my wife and son can share the converter it has USB as well. I use it cause the ipad charger will charge the iphone up faster than iphone charger plus it keeps the front clean. I have another iphone/ipod charger/AUX cable upfront in the center console for my ipod or to charge another device when I’m not the only one in the car that is low on juice. Good looking out tho.

This is THE mod that lazy as fudge to get around to. Thanks for the reminder fellas We needed an official thread like this, especially for peeps like myself that know absolutely nothing about lighting details.
