Need help changing OEM headlight bulb to led bulb for 2007 is250
Went through the first step of removing engine cover and locating and removing bulbs for driver and passenger side. Where is the socket to plug in the LED bulb for the low beams on both sides?

Do you have factory HIDs? You probably shouldn't be replacing those with LEDs... Especially since it would be much mor einvolved than switching out a bulb.
If you are referring to the DRL/high beams, it should be fairly straight forward. However, if you don't have an encoder device that boosts the voltage, you will have issues with the lights flickering.
I highly recommend doing some research before you touch anything.

Yeah I have the factory HIDs. Tried searching around but couldn't find much info on switching OEM low beam bulbs to Led bulbs. Is there a way to do it?

I would leave them alone. It's way more involved than you think, and you will end up losing light output (LEDs will output less compared to an HID bulb, and the projectors are not designed to distribute the light LED's let out properly). If you're just going for a specific color, just pick up some different colored D4S bulbs (you have 3k, 4.3k bulbs which are stock, 5k, 6k, etc. Higher you get in the K, the bluer it is, lower the K, the yellower.)

What are you trying to achieve by replacing the bulbs?
