Default Changed Door & Trunk Lights

So I didn't know that the we had bulbs in the doors, Lexus played tricks on me. When my LED guy took them out they were blue covered bulbs. He changed the doors and the trunk and the reverse lights I had, they are really bright. I will post a night shot later tonight. He is ordering me a LED fog-light bulb to use when the fog-light parts come in. Here are some pics.

lookin good young fella... i was told by 180 customs that they couldn't change them because all the interior lights are LED. then i did some research and found out that all the interior lights are not LED. keep the mods coming.

Looking good! I can't even tell the lights are on when I open my door at night. Talk about subtle lighting.

It's very easy to do:

Get this from Autozone or Amazon or Advanced Auto Parts for your mirror puddle lights & sun visor. It's bright, white and last long so you won't have to replace often:

Sylvania 168/194/2825 Premium White LEDriving Bulb : Amazon.com : Automotive Sylvania 168/194/2825 Premium White LEDriving Bulb : Amazon.com : Automotive



Get this (plug n play):

http://www.vleds.com/universal/circu...5-1156-57.html

or this (door panel housing):

http://www.vleds.com/vehicle-specifi...-assembly.html

for door panel/trunk.

Well my LED guy has them, these are not from any store they come direct from China from a great supplier I must say, I have never seen good workmanship out of china. They are using an LED bar I believe. I will ask him to take a pic of them. The ones he used almost work like the HID plug n play, one end has a connector that connects the socket .

These are not the same, those are just regular LEDS these are a 10 LED panel that he silconed in to the housing.

The trunk one is a 194 I believe, he put a 15 LED panel for the trunk.

The base for trunk or door panel is T10 or 194 or W5W or 168. They all the same just different number.

You can put 15 LED panel on each of the door panel. They are SMD 5050 and super bright like HID. You can put LED panel on sun visor but it will blind you at night so I'm not recommended.

For the trunk you can get 30 or 40 LED panel will fit nicely.

The osram/sylvania white LED bulb is bright twice the tungsten bulb and will fit the mirror puddle lights and sun visor light. LED panel won't fit mirror puddle lights.
