What about your reverse lights. Did you change those too? Any other lights?

I have a '13 like you and there were more standard incandescent bulbs that you could change.

For the front doors, i added logo projector lights: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...l#post10356606
For the rear doors, I added 194 LEDs from VLEDS.
For the reverse lights, i did iJDMToy 921 LEDs a while back: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ml#post9179031

Upgrading the reverse lights actually help brighten the area behind you and helps you see a bit better when using the backup camera. I wouldn't get anything too bright - don't wanna be that guy that is blinding other drivers while reversing!

Btw: The puddle upgrade is a nice touch and i'm surprised they didn't use an LED there. Sorry to see what happened to the mirror, but its certainly a learning experience!

That Trunk light upgrade with the LED replace was #1 to me. b/c gave me the type. What a nice difference in the Trunk from the cheezy light Lexus put in the Trunk. Thanks b/c! Now back looking to argue with him about something.

I put an led strip in the trunk and wired into the trunk light with an adapter. All from vleds. It's bright. Definitely more functional than the factory light.

I may shoot for the reverse lights soon, but the mirror was me hitting the brakes for a bit haha. Thanks, on the puddle lights. I think they look nice. One person said they didn't like them too much, but I don't think they're overkill at all.

I wanted to have some fun with the car because I had a leased Cadillac for the last 3-1/2 years. I've done quite a bit so far, and probably more to come. I get a lot of ideas from you guys

My brake pads cost almost $200 for parts only. Yeah I got robbed on this one.

ay at least you didnt buy rear shim for $100. LOL
