Default L.E.D. Maplights

Is it possible to put a price on how much it would cost to get l.e.d. maplights like the new GS installed in the 2nd gen? I wonder if it could be done by the lexus lighting technology guy? I think if I could get that custom made for my car for a reasonable price i would be really happy.

I had that done in my old car. I actually didn't like it. The light was way too sharp. I don't know how to describe it, it just wasn't as pleasant as the orriginal light. The LED light sort of pissed me off when I turned it on. But if you have seen it, and like it, I am sure someone can make it for you.

that means u have to high of intensity like 5000mcd leds.... for a wider beam go lower i would say 3000mcd would be perfect given the distance from the roof to about the height u would hold something up for reading.

That is good info. But I got rid of everything dealing with my old car already. This just shows that reaserch is a really good thing. I felt like a herb, after I wasted over $100 on lights and labor that I ended up not liking.
