Default Recommendations for LED Replacement Bulbs on 3IS

Hi Everyone,

I'm not able to find the thread with someone upgrading their LED lights for the life of me.
The issues I'm experiencing are the dim yellow lights on a Grey/Black interior IS, it's very difficult to see without proper lighting.

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great, I was about to order the LED light setup from Sewell but realized everything in total is about 200 dollars. Kind of expensive for LED lights.

Thanks!

Here are a few threads covering the issue:

Yeah...I made the noob mistake of buying the Lexus interior lighting kit from Sewell. Get the bulbs from autoanything or another site.

What mistake do you mean, they're just overpriced or are they not up to par?

Thanks!

Definitely overpriced, but also not as bright as I thought they'd be.

I'm actually considering this;

Amazon.com: LEDpartsNow Lexus IS250 IS350 ISF 2014 - 2015 Xenon White Premium LED Interior Lights Package Kit (11 Pieces): Automotive Amazon.com: LEDpartsNow Lexus IS250 IS350 ISF 2014 - 2015 Xenon White Premium LED Interior Lights Package Kit (11 Pieces): Automotive

Something simple, not so bright that it burns my retina. Thoughts?

I would not buy those. Probably cheap quality from China. Diode dynamics like I said before is the real deal. American company with great customer support and cheap prices. I have their led lights all over my car and I love them

I got mine done as of yesterday. I ordered mine from:

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Lexus-Map-D...-Deal-s/93.htm.

Just select the model of the car and the product list should come out. Just as a reference I did this after seeing this build thread:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...ere-we-go.html

One thing to keep in mind is that if you choose Xenon White it's pretty bright. I would say to me any brighter I would consider it as too "bright", but that really depends on different people. As far as if this product is from china or not... I am not 100% sure. I just know that the thread owner that I posted the link of love them and I also love them as they made my car more "classy" if you know what I mean haha. I just really like white LEDs. If you do get them here's the link on how to change the LED bulb in your puddle light as they were the most annoying ones to change.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...light-led.html

The rest of the bulbs were really simple though. Good luck! Get those LEDs, you won't regret it.

I took the plunge today lol, went ahead and bought Xenon white and blue, just to get some variety.

Only cost me 70 bucks shipped, I used the discount which was 15% off.

Thanks everyone!

Hi there! Are you happy with purchase? Do they give off enough light?

Thanks!
