@Milonga

The LED flashwolves I used for my rear backup replacements were plug and go. Very happy with them.

Question: can I replace the parking/city lights without any relays or other hassles? I want an easy plug and play like the rear backup light installation.

Thanks

Yes, you can. Looks like the parking light bulb is a 194 bulb so any bulb you get for it would be a direct replacement.

I'd suggest checking out our all new ceramic 194 LED bulbs.. You cannot beat them in terms of light output, fitment, and brightness. They're price just right too!

Found an old video clip if you wanted to do turn signals (changed the rate of the flash with the adjustable flash relay):

Can someone post a pic of their aftermarket (bulbs) parking lights? I replace mine with the Philips LED as other members, however, mine look yellow and not the bright white.

Thanks guys

Never took photos, but you can see it in the video. They were pretty close to 5200k philips ultinon, just a tiny bit more white than blue if that makes sense.

I have the 194 LED bulbs for the parking lights.
Now I want a plug and play option for the 9005 DRL/Highbeam.
Is there a LED option for the 9005 that does not need a kit or conversion?

Default Help!!

Parking bulb

Lexus family I need help!
I pulled out the parking bulbs (194) to do a quick replacement to LEDs.
But it seems removing these bulbs are more difficult than I thought. It appears like the bulbs are part of the assembly itself.
I can seem to remove the bulb from the housing. What am I doing wrong.?

I tried that. Both bulbs seem to be soldiered to the plastic assembly. I don’t want to break the bulb while trying to remove it.

These are the LED bulbs I’m attempting to install.
This should’ve taken less than 10 minutes, but now it’s a day long nightmare.

You gotta kind of push it inwards like if you were tryna insert it installing it.... Then twist it downwards gently but firmly. Either clockwise or counter clockwise.... Once I figured out the one side the other was a breeze, hope you get it brother, good luck and GodBless fam!

THIS WAS MINES UPON INSTALLATION.... GOT PHILLIPS LED BULBS. BEEN A FEW MONTHS, NO PROBLEMS! DAYTIME AND NIGHTIME REFERENCE PICS. ALL WHITE 6000K SETUP
