led light replacement guide?
hi guys..
I'm in the midst of replacing all the halogen bulbs on the car..
so far i have done the door light with led bulbs but I need some help with the others..
Turn Signal Light Bulb Rear is 7440.
Turn Signal Light Bulb Front is 7444NA
Vanity Mirror Light Bulb Is 175
Reverse light is 921
which led upgrades did everyone used? for the turn signal light front.. I would need amber ones correct? do i need amber ones in the back also??
and the biggest question.. what's the size for the puddle lamp? i looked at sylvania but can't find the puddle lamp one? i want something that's bright.. the halogen ones in there are just way too dim.
thanks

For the rear turn signals, many on the NX forum have swiped their 7440 bulbs for these LED ones. They don't require resistors and don't hyper flash. I assume it'd work for the GS too. I'm considering doing this change too.

For the reverse lights, I ordered and installed these bulbs. They are much brighter than stock.

I used a 194 bulb for the puddle lamps from vleds with the 5000k color (http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe.../360/6-5k.html).
Depending on your taste, you might want a bulb for the puddle lights with more blue in it (go for the 6000k in this case).

How much space was in the puddle lamp housing if I wanted to go with a slightly longer CREE 194 bulb.

I highly recommend any of the 194 bulbs from either one of these manufacturers but I give a slight edge to the VLEDs for quality.
You may be able to get a better idea as to the housing/space from images from the following thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...light-led.html

Here are a couple of output pics of the VLED 5K 194 LED bulbs in the puddle housing (looks better in person!):

I'm looking to swap some of the stock bulbs with LEDs too. A comprehensive list of each bulb and suggested replacements would be great. I'm sure the rest of the community would want this stickied. Keeping the OPs list going:
Puddle light is 194
Reverse light is 921
Turn Signal Front is 7444NA
Turn Signal Rear is 7440.
Vanity Mirror Is 175
Puddle light is 194

Turn Signal Front is 7444NA
Turn Signal Rear is 7440.
Vanity Mirror Is 175
