Default Anyone have updated V-LED part #s?

I have a 2010 RX450h with HIDs, and I'm trying to change as much of the yellow bulbs out to white LEDs, but all the threads I've found have dead links to the bulbs, lots of scattered info, etc.. Does anyone by chance have a simple list of which bulbs I can order from VLED? I can't believe there aren't any LED lighting packages for this car, my BMWs were always really easy to find good LED packages for...

Can you be more specific? Are you looking for interior or exterior LED's.

I am interested in changing Fog lights to match the HID headlights. Which ones would be the best match? Also interesting in changing the interior bulbs. An updated VLED list would definitely be appreciated.

Just did an install, plan to take pics tonight if weather is decent.

For interior domes, I highly recommend their universal LED boards, get 2 for each dome at least.

For the doors and feet, I got their standard 194/168 bulbs, look good. Boards won't fit in these housings without retrofitting.

The trunk bulbs are random festoon style, boards won't fit, but I custom wired 2 194's in each. Not as bright as I would like.

The fogs are H11 if I recall. I got a 3k HID kit for them, run great. I don't think VLED's has the lateste gen. of DRL/FOG bulbs in stock yet. Wait for the V3 Tritons GEN2.

Well, I decided to order as many of them as I could from V-LEDs... will update this post after installation with the ones that do/don't work for me!

If anyone knows the correct LEDs for the daytime running lights and parking lights I would appreciate the info. I also have a 2010 with HIDs and would like the LEDs to match the color of the HIDs as close as possible.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Okay, so I figured out myself which LEDs to order from VLEDs! it took me several hours to fish through this site, the VLED site, and the bulb replacement type guide, but my perseverance paid off. All the bulbs I purchased worked, and they look SO much better than the stock bulbs. Here they are:

Parking Bulbs:
5K WHITE 4 LED 2W HIGH POWER BULBS 194 168 158 | 1 PAIR
194_4_RB_W_5K $14.99
Ordered: 1
$14.99

Back up lights:
5K WHITE 15 LED HIGH POWER BULBS 917 918 920 921 922 923 579 | 1 PAIR
921_15_W_5K $39.99
Ordered: 1
$39.99

Rear dome & Puddle lights:
5K WHITE 4 LED 2 WATT HP FLANK BULBS 194 168 158 | 1 PAIR
194_4_HPF_W_5K $14.99
Ordered: 2
$29.98

Cargo bulbs:
6K WHITE 1.5W 3 LED HIGH POWER UNIVERSAL DOME LIGHT BULB 31-36MM ADJUSTABLE 3175 DE3175
3136_3HP_W_6K $9.99
Ordered: 3
$29.97

Footwells:
BLUE 6 LED LIGHT BULBS 194 158 168 2825 | 1 PAIR
194_6_B-C $9.99
$9.99
Choose Standard or CAN-Bus Proof
1 x Standard Blue 194 6 LED $9.99
194_6_N_B Ordered: 1


Daytime Running Lamps:
6K WHITE 10 LED DRL/FOG LIGHT BULBS HB3 9005 H10 9145 | 1 PAIR
9005_10_XB_W_6K $59.99
Ordered: 1
$59.99

Front dome, door courtesy lights:
5K WHITE 6 LED LIGHT BULBS 194 158 168 2825 | 1 PAIR
194_6_W_5K-C $39.96
$39.96
Choose Standard or CAN-Bus Proof
4 x Standard 5K White 194 6 LED $39.96
194_6_N_W_5K Ordered: 4


Some notes: I mixed up some 5K and 6K because some of the 5K bulbs I wanted were out of stock. I used blue footwell LEDs as shown, but other colors are available. All of these LEDs are either a 4/5 or a 5/5 on the brightness scale as listed on VLEDs... feel free to switch certain ones as needed depending on how bright you want the bulb to be. I used a brightness level 4/5 bulb for the front dome, for example, since I didn't want to be blinded too badly at night. I did not switch out my fog lights since I think yellow will probably be better for fog. Hope this helps make the process easier than it was for me!

I have a friend Dale from http://o-nex.com/. Tell him Bobby referred you. He did all my interior and exterior lighting on my RX. I did HID yellow fogs on my RX. Good luck!

Thanks jdogg for posting the VLED info and part numbers for the bulb conversions. This is very helpful.

Thanks for the list

Have gone thru many of the posts in the lighting section and got very confused about proper substitutions

Will this list work for the 2013 RX ?

I'm pretty sure that these will work for 2013 models also... In my research, I didn't find any changes with the lighting for the newer models.
