Hello all,

New owner of a 2007 ES350. I want to change out the standard reverse lights and door lights to LED's. There's so many options out there so i wanted to get an opinion with links if possible to what and where I can get the brightest/safest/high quality LED's. Thanks!

This is my favorite LED source: http://www.vleds.com/

I've used their products in 3 different cars and they're well made and reliable. They are more expensive than most LEDs that you'll find, but well worth it.

I didn't like the look of the OEM Daytime Running Lights on our 2010 ES350 and installed the VLED Triton 5K White/Amber Switchbacks to replace the front turn signal bulbs. I turned off the DRL's on the car and then wired up the Tritons so that they come on as bright white for DRLs, they dim about 90% when the headlights turn on and they turn amber when in turn signal flashing mode. You do need to buy the resistors packs (they call it the Hyperflash fix). I used the hot wire from the windshield washer fluid pump to trigger them coming on whenever the key is turned on, I connected the hot wire from one of the front parking lights to trigger the dimming. Their adapter for the front turn signal socket controls the flashers/turn signals. It took a little over an hour to install.

Thanks for the response! VLED bulbs are expensive, any other not so expensive alternatives?

I like my Luyed LED bulbs for reverse lights, and at $12.95 a pair, the price is right:
These Lasfit bulbs also work very well in my trunk, and are only $9.99. Much brighter than the anemic incandescent bulb the car came with:
I haven't messed with any of the other lights in the car yet.

Thanks for the responses everyone! I may go with Luyed or superbrightleds. Are they brighter than the VLED's though?

I don't know how bright the Vleds are, but the specs for the bulbs I mentioned are on Amazon.

VLEDs specs are on their site. I've never paid full price as they have regular sales that I try to take advantage of - they currently have a "Daylight Saving Sale" with percentages off based upon how much you purchase. I signed up for their email notifications of sales.
