ok i have ordered all my led light mods because i never realy liked the orange accent lighting so i am replacing them with white leds my goal is to make a detailed post with images to show others how to do the mods and i am going to try and change the door sill lights as well so i plan to update my status and add images as i progress

DennisMik

I will look forward to that.

I changed the 2 dome lights, the 3 cargo lights and the step lights in the front doors and stopped there.

are you planning to change the lights from the door sills too?

DennisMik

I haven't really given much thought to doing any other lights at this time. If the door sills are reasonably easy, I probably will somewhere along the line. Right now doing things to my cars (my RX and my wife's IS) has taken a back seat to other things. Sometimes life gets in the way.

cody27

yes i am going to give the door sill lights ago no matter what the outcome will be i will post an update on the door sill lights

ok all my led lights came today and here is what i have got changed so far i did all the main cabin lights i went with VLED NOT cheap but worth the money this the list of all the bulbs you will need to do your full led change over minus the doors i installed custom lexus logo lights in my doors i will take pics

for the front dome and map lights you need

2 number 57 bulbs and 1 3175 bulb and if you want to change the accent lights you will also need 2 5mm bulbs which needs to be soldered in i took pics of that operation
and the same 5mm bulbs replace the foot well lights that is a differnt story


the two tiny holes are the accent lights which are orange i changed mine to white




this section is held on by 4 scews the lens must be removed first




these are covers that hid the two scews in the back under the sunglass lid




you will see two scews after you remove the lens




this is the back side of the light housing this is where the fun begins




this is the map light button gentley relese these tabs to remove it




in this photo you can see the led lights they fit into a black housing














this is the new leds prior to instalation






this is where you weld te new ones in the longer wire is the postive side of the led and the board is also marked postive as well

cody27

and the vanty lightS take 4 3 chip 2 led bulb the covers are not easy to remove but i did get them off with out breaking them just take your time on those

cody27

now the foot well light lmao on those sorry folks those are seal i did take mine apart as i had a work around for those so here is what they look like

this is the foot well lights yeah those crappy orange things






this is what it looks like taken apart if you notice it has 2 resisters in it that is so you can dim them with light dim switch




i did try and remove the buld that operation was a fail

cody27

so this is my work around for those i also ordered 5mm white bulbs pre wired and some scew on holders for them

this holds the led light which you scew it into where the old led block went but only on the drivers side the passenger side required me drilling a hole to mount it




prewired

cody27

now since i had to make some modifcations to the foot led lights i also did not install the resisters i cut off the factory plugs and wired my leds stright in with conectors now with that set up they do dim when you put the car in drive as they norm do however they do not dim with switch you either have on or off unless you wire in the resisters

cody27

and now for the door sill lights i am sorry folks but they are a sealed part the only thing you can take apart is just the metel plate that says lexus so if by chance i find some after market ones i will you guys know

cody27

these are the 5mm bulbs

cody27

now for the rear dome light you need 1 211 bulb and for the rear cargo lights you need 3 3022 bulbs

cody27

i still need to change out interior door handle lights and the center consol lights and the cup holder lights but that is another day i am waiting for it to get dark so i can show you what the white leds look like
