Alpha777z, glad the rear dome bulb replacement went well. The LED puddle lamps did have the dimming effect. They were maybe not as smooth as the halogen bulbs, if that makes sense. It wasn't a big deal to me considering the massive improvement. The LEDs are considerably brighter. And they were still going at five years when I traded it in for the 4RX.

Thanks a lot, Anita.
I'll buy Sylvania LED 194 bulbs tomorrow from local AutoZone and install it right away.
I have also just bought three LED bulbs from vleds. This time those are for trunk/cargo area, but they look kind of fat. Do you think it will fit and work ok? However the length is ok 29mm. Here's a link for the trunk bulbs

BTW I started a new thread you might want to check it out...

Sorry, I can't remember exactly what size I wound up getting for the cargo area. I think it was 29mm. It took three attempts before I found festoon bulbs that fit. It just might be a matter of making slight modifications.

Great job. I have a few threads of my own on replacement fog lights. Too bad Lexus waited until 2015 to make LED standard. That's an option but you should be happy with the Philips. It's what I wound up with in the end. And they were halogen too.

Thanks! Yes I should be happy with Philips. I usually don't buy cheap stuff from e-Bay. I'm not too rich, so I can't afford to buy cheap stuff from China over and over again, because they fail too often, plus I don't have time to replace it constantly. The investment should last accordingly with the price.
BTW I have just added the new pics to that thread.

Any VIDEOS on how to replace these bulbs on the 2016 RX-350 F-Sport? I don't want to break anything LOL

I got both regular LEDs and CAN Bus LEDs coming. I believe the parts are #194 bulbs?

Thank you in advance.

Someone in the 4RX forum may know? Once it's time to upgrade the ride, I'll look into it for you.

I did a full morimoto LED fog light swap. They have yellow LED colors too. I would highly recommend it. I believe I got mine from theretrofitsource.com.

They sell sealed projector units, so they are 100% plug and play and look exactly like factory. Where the fog lights are on my f sport was a little bit of a pain to get to, but it was doable. You have to loosen the wheel well shielding to access the lights behind the bumper cover.

Love this, did you have to re-wire anything or was it simply popping in a bulb?
