lol. I always brake crap in DIY's but this is easy. Pull out the lens. Separate housing from light that is held on by a clip. Switch the flank bulb in and re assemble. It is a 2 minute job for both sides.

looks good, but it's not for me since we already have led interior lights (the map light), amber light is necessary sometimes (just my 0.02 Riyals)

Agree, less strain and softer light my girl uses when doing makeup and stuff. Lexus knows best. Then the albeit small outlay of $, I say no go.

If you want super freaking bright I wouldn't get the 6smt bulbs. Use the 4LED SMT high power

I put the LEDs in and the Wife said see did not like the way the light does not reflect the true colors of her make up. Needless to say, I put the OEMs back in.
