"The only problem I have heard about LED parking light, may come loose and fall into the headlight housing and that some LED's circuitry will burn out due to the heat generated from the DRL.????"""""

Back up light on the GS300 is a 921. I am going to go with the ones in the link below.

Does anyone know if any of the turn signals will work on the GS350? Because I really like those LED turn signals look because it just sets it apart......Please let me know thanks?

This is crazy,I may be addicted to lights. Its not just with cars,I have them all over the place outside my house.

Anyway,another question for the guys that change turn signal,marker lights,and directionals. For example,if you change a turn signal which has amber glass and an amber bulb and replace it with an amber led,is it significantly brighter?Does it look that much better or is it a waste of time and money to change them over? Same goes for stop and tail lights,is the look that much different in a good way?

haha.. good choice. Honestly, I don't think it would make a big difference (at least not to the general public). You might want to get the LED for the trunk light tho... That is worth it in my opinion... It made a big difference after I changed it.

as far as the turning sig. I think it will look cool, I mean LED's tend to do a quick flash, vs. the regular bulb which fades in and out.

I got those reverse LED lights in the mail but when I try to install them I would not even get those little nuts thing on the top of the trunk off. How can you get those off so I can install them? any help will be great thanks.
