So after owning 3 SC400's (1992, 1995 and now a 1999) and constantly dreaming of modding, I took the plunge today and did my first mod. White license-plate lights. I wanted to upgrade my tail end to look that of the IS?50's, with a white LED lighting up the plate.
Well it didnt work out quite as I expected (although I guess now I can see how $20 Lordco LED's can be a disappointment) and the 'white' LED has a Honda-esque blue hue to it.. makes me look like a ricer

So my question is, how do I pull myself out of the grasps of ricing and find WHITE led's in Vancouver!?! lol..

 

They only look faintly blue in the pic; though maybe find some that are slightly more 'yellow' in an effort to not have blue?

edit! ask some1 w. a 2IS what kind of blubs they have and buy those

 

I already called Regency Lexus and asked what kinda bulbs are in the 2IS, he said he had no way of telling (I think he lied, just didnt wanna look it up)..

 

lol! I was actually thinking you should ask some1 who owns a 2IS and has messed around w. their bulbs.

Or call Regency back and talk to the guys at the parts counter. They know.

 

i think it looks good..

 

doesn't look bad at all.

 

i use polarg M6
has a nice white without the blue hue
and it isnt LED so has a even distribution of light

 

Where do I buy that?

 

different manufactuers make different "white" looking leds.

ask to test the led to see what color light it omits, if they carry different colors of leds, ask for "soft white"

 

2nd floor of crystal mall has a car parts place near food court that sells it

or most of the automotive tuner shops sell it too

ebay has them for a good price as well

 

ohh ur talking about reaction performance.

the owner of that store also is hidoutlet.ca

if u go there, tell Anthony/Phoenix or Jacky that shoei says hi. all are really good ppl to deal with! got my backup sensors from them for my highlander (still ahvent installed yet though =/ )

and while ur waiting, u can go next door to bearded papa, they make awesome creampuffs, but the filling is more custard like.
