I think quite a few of us sure would love if you came up with something for this application! I've seen it referenced on quite a few threads and models.

I've just finished out doing the full LED swap out of all the lights (Running board, map/dome, vanity, etc) and the H9 to the High Beams.

My question is this... I was able to tuck in all the wiring into the cavity around the dome that houses the high beam, and then the filament before sealing the cavity back up with the plastic o-ring cap. Is this ok? Does the cap need to be left out and the wiring far from the filament?

@BigGreen13

Can you please clarify this? I'm not sure I follow what you're asking:

"My question is this... I was able to tuck in all the wiring into the cavity around the dome that houses the high beam, and then the filament before sealing the cavity back up with the plastic o-ring cap. Is this ok? Does the cap need to be left out and the wiring far from the filament?"

Just curious, how long does it take to ship? I ordered about a week ago during your flash sale and still haven't received my two sets of Panasonic bulbs. Just small ones to replace the running board lights in my 2010 GX.

Steve,

Would you guys be able to create a blurb that could replace the custom Lexus lights that are in the door handles/footwell areas on all GXs and from what I gather many other models as well?

Just installed the new running board LEDs. As noted, these are the Philips brand bulbs. Very happy with the new look.

Thanks for taking the time to post up pictures and feedback @daman7676 . I'm glad to hear that you're happy with your purchase of the Philips 194 LED bulbs - they are 100% my "goto" 194 LED bulbs.

@BigGreen13 - I apologize for the late response... Just saw your question. Are these bulbs that are LED from the factory already? If so, unfortunately not as they would not be a simple "Plug+play" replacement.

Default F-Sport Grill

It's not hard @ all just popping your radiator grill out & popping the F-Sport radiator grill in, the main problem you might have is finding a F-Sport grill & if you have the front camera/radar option as I did you will have to modify your grill for the camera to have support & make sure you use the Lexus emblem from the radar it's made with a special material that the radar beam can scan through. Good luck my friend

I liked the look of the LED lights I saw in photos on this site so I ordered 2 10-packs of Yorkim 194 LEDs for $20 total a couple of days ago. I replaced 16 bulbs today (6 cabin, 2 visor/mirror, 4 door, 4 running boards (did I miss any?)).
They look nice and bright and white to me, especially compared to the yellow I removed.
Can't beat the price. If they give me any trouble I'll have to come edit this information, but so far I have a nice upgrade for $20.

I also ordered black Prado raised side rails for $200 after shipping to replace the gray flush side rails on the roof of my black GX. They haven't come in yet, so I'll have to update that in a couple of weeks or so.

Hi Tecman, do you know that if we replace the turn signal to LED, do we need to have the load resistor, by the way, do we need to take out the whole housing for the rear to replace, and where to tuck in the load resistor, or any site that can sell plug and play. Thanks

"load resistor"? Sorry, but I don't know what you are referring to. I have not changed out any rear lights.

What LED upgrade are loooking at? Provide a link please.
