First of all, Kudos Brociouz, it's like a noob's wet dream. These are exactly what i needed to change my lighting. I checked SYLVANIA guide for bulb replacements, it's different than what you gave out tho, The SYLVANIA shows 579 or 3021 for front dome light, but you have 194 for front dome light. I am wondering are they the samething?

 

^ When Sylvania says "Dome Light" in their bulb guide, they mean the rear dome, which is indeed a 579/3021 31mm festoon bulb (just like in my guide). The front dome, however, is a 194/168 (same connector). Hope that clears things up!

 

Got it.. Thanks for the info.. I recently got a 06 IS350, my oh my, what a ride that is not in this world.

 

Thanks once agin brociouz!! I installed this in the trunk last night and it is a great improvement over stock!! Now i guess i need to move on to the V-LEDS DRL Kit.....

 

Brociouz, is the 31mm festoon base the same size bulb as the one that's in the trunk now or do you still have to hammer the sides to get it to fit?

 

You're welcome. The new LED DRL kit from V-LEDS is a great product.

The trunk is actually a 29mm festoon, so if you don't have that option and have to go with 31mm, you'll have to either hammer in the sides or modify the connector itself. Hammering is easier.

 

Hammering is easier

 

why not just get the drl's shut off?

 

^ You can. Some people of course like the DRLs though.

 

It looks like V-LEDs raised their prices on some of their bulbs once they restocked...

 

^ Make sure you keep an eye on their newsletter and FB page for coupon codes.

 

Brociouz, this is a fantastic write-up. Thanks :thumbsup:

 

has anyone used superbrightleds? Interested to hear from you /see results

 

I bought a few bulbs from Superbrightleds in my old car. I believe my map lights, parking lights and reverse lights were all from them. They are bright. Not sure how bright compared to V-LED, but bright enough that the map light would light up the entire front of the cabin and i loved the parking lights, you could see them even when my 6K HID's were on. The reverse lights were visible enough during the day too, i swapped them out tho because one went bad. Never had a problem with the rest of the bulbs. I'd recommend them

 

Great writeup up Bro! VLeds has a 4 hr 25% off coupon code "25FOR4" right now that expires at 4pm PST (7pm EST) . With this, i just ordered a whole LED swap over my current LEDs which are no where near as bright, plus now they will all color match!
