LED Lighting Replacement Guide (w/Pics)
I have updated the first post of this thread fixing the links/names after V-LEDs changed their website around and refreshed the product lineup. I also dropped the note about the puddle lights not fitting in the 2IS properly; V-LEDs has modified the design so they now fit perfectly.
By popular request, I have also added guides for those who want less bright alternatives for their interior lights (they also happen to be cheaper than the "ultra bright" versions). Please note that the trunk and reverse lights are identical in the ultra bright vs. less bright guides, because I don't see why anyone wouldn't want those to be bright. The parking lights are also identical because they are chosen specifically to flow with the HID headlights, so they too do not have a bright/dim option.

Tweaked the guide again to fix the broken links for reverse lights, added LED DRL links for '06-'10 model year ISx50s (the ones without the LED strip headlights), and cleaned up some previously outdated language.

I ended up cancelling the Vled's and went with IJDMTOY's led's and I'm glad I did because the color is more of a cool white with the 6000K look. I put the these boards next to the 6K Vled and the vleds in comparison look like 5K *IMO* ....got everything installed, its hard to capture how bright this is at night from my cell phone, lets just say the front dome light alone lights up the whole interior. I will update night pictures once I have my courtesy lights in which should be tomorrow.

the front actually you have to put inward at an angle and it stays in there but moves around a bit but won't fall out and the rear comes with the 3m adhesive backing. Not to sound ghetto but I actually put 2 pieces of 3m heavy duty double sided tape on each panel so it won't move and sit on the plastic only because my subwoofer will be put in today and don't want everything rattling. I can take a pic of that also if you want, once that tape is in those babies don't move at all
VLED is really falling short, their DRL kit has been on backorder for like a month as well as their 2821 parking light replacement in 6k and 5k. Gonna go with iJDMtoy as they seem to keep their parts in stock and dont bs you on restock dates..
hey guys just a quick question for the trunk led board on the first post... what is the adapter used(first section on the post)??? i looked on vleds but wasent sure which to pick. just dont want to buy the wrong one. i got 6k ultra bright for front and rear dome vanity and puddle light with courtesy leds.
thx for your help
thx for your help
I dont how they are on back order if I just got them in the mail today 
For anyone who is on the fence about where to get LEDs from.... GO WITH VLED. HOLY CRAP THESE ARE BRIGHT!!!!!!
Ive had the blue VLED bulbs and a LED kit from Precision LED. These 6K VLED bulbs are the best IMO.
The following pics are with my garage closed and lights on



Now these pics are with my garage door closed and lights off

Let me know if you order the DRL's from ijdmtoy and provide pics if possible, I ordered 9 SMD T10 parking lights from ijdmtoy and will be installing over the weekend, I'll provide pics after... Also FYI I order Cree T15 reverse bulbs from ijdmtoy(the 18.99 ones), really impressed with the lighting when in reverse.
any body know if this LED will work for the trunk???
