I just swapped out all of my interior trunk included using vled HP bulbs and its pretty bright. The trunk light using the 4W 3022 festoon bulb is kind of fishy though. It seems as if the 3022 festoon bulb for the trunk light is a little too big to fit into the slot... but it will work.
Also for the courtesy light on the mirrors, i think the easiest is to tilt the mirror all the way down unscrew that one top screw and then all the way down and unscrew the one bottom screw and just wedge the rear section off and pull the light out. No need to pull the mirror out as that can be a pain. Also when putting it back in be sure to align all the clips (especially the one at the edge of the cover or it will not be a snug fit!
For the top dome light of the 2010 just unscrew the two screw from the sunglass holder and it will drop. Then just tug on the front a little towards the back of the car. and it will come out. Its one of those button clips.
Overall it was a very easy and fast job and its nice!!! all lights are from VLED pics will be up soon!

The trunk is the trickiest one. You have to kind of angle the connector in there. Have the switch set to the "On" position when you do it since it'll give you a couple of more millimeters to work with. As long at the festoon tips are touching the metal you're good.

First post updated to reflect a change in my recommendation for the parking light replacement. See this thread for an in-depth analysis: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ive-guide.html

Im guessing these are the flank type LEDs from V-leds as everyone keeps saying how powerful they are. I really wanna get some of these bulbs but shipping costs to england are horrendous! i dont suppose anyone would know where i could get these bulbs in england........(Or maybe a bulb thats just as bright but stocked in england)
Any help much appreciated guys
