Does anyoen know if replacing the reverse lights with LED's will cause any bulb out problems?

Also if not does anyone know the bulb type?

921 bulb.
I have these in my GS and CX with no issues.
I've used this LED in other Lexus models I've owned also.In fact the same LED.

Also, what about the puddle light? anyone know the size and or if I can convert to LED?

I find it very strange that every other bulb on the car is LED, why leave these two standard bulbs?

Nope should be no issue's although if the led bulb is bad it will flicker when in reverse, I have seen it but you should be good I have never had an issue and have only seen the flicker once, and replaced the led.

I've been put 15W HID in reverse with zero issue but now I'm more happier with this Philips 921 LED:



Also door courtesy and vanity lights are standard bulbs and that can be easily change out. If you have H11 fog light that could be replace with projector LED fogs from Sewell before they close out!

For the mirror puddle lights 194/T10 I would recommend this one:



I prefer Philips LED over V-leds because their quality and 12 years warranty, the price also reasonable! All Philips LEDs are pure white 5000K like oem interrior dome lights despite their package state 6000K. Now my car is full LED except the headlight. LOL

i was thinking about switching the reverse lights to LEDs as well, will the 921 Phillips work on a 2013 ES h ?

I'm sure it will. Go for it

Anyone know what the specs are and who makes the stock GS interior LEDs? 6000 K color temp is a bit bluish, I would assume the Lexus LEDs are 5000 K or less. My ESh footwell and glove box LEDs have a warmer hue than my aftermarket 6000 K LEDs on the other lights.

ok thanks, i just purchased a ton of 5000K LEDs lol..

3 map light
3 dome light
2 vanity mirrors
4 door courtesy light
2 trunk cargo
2 reverse lights
2 fog lights

should get them all this week

Which LEDs did you get?

I just ordered some T10 Philips BlueVision 4000K LEDs, I'm going to swap out my old 6000 K LEDs and also change the reverse light. If these look good I'll swap out all my old lights for these warmer ones.

Are there definitely no issues with replacing the reverse lights? The stock bulbs are W16W, these LEDs are T10 W5W. I hope they don't give the hyper flash error like on signal lamps.

I'm also looking to get some crazy bright 16W T20 LEDs for the reverse light. I have only one reverse light, the other side is a rear red fog light. More light is good

After doing a bit of research searching the threads and talking to a few member that have converted to full LEDs, i bought an interior LED set for a 2013 Lexus ES which includes all the interior lights and door courtesy lights as well as trunk and license plate lights. I also ordered a pair of T10 921 Cree High Power 5000K White Reverse Backup Lights and VLEDs 5000K H11 fog lights. All of these are plug n play.

The Philips 168/T10 and 921 and Osram 168/T10 will give more warmer color, much like factory 5000K in the GS which is pure white. IMO it's better both look and feel.
