I got my side marker (little amber LED) removed (I don't need it in where I live), and got my reflectors painted matte black.

The only issue though, my headlight cover is in a terrible condition, no idea what exactly happened, going to fix that soon.

Hey Rash, What do mean terrible condition? I was thinking about somehow removing or blacking out the amber marker, but now that you say that, i don't think i should mess with it.

Default Help, LED's not lighting up!

Hi guys,
Let me briefly describe my situation (i have a 2006 IS250 Halogen):

I tried installing my 2011 Headlights (not from Sewell) today. I read through this thread 3-4 times and i thought i knew what i was doing.

I relocated the solid green wire to the default third empty slot next to the white and black wire striped wire. Then i installed it and tried to turn the parking lights on but the LED's are not turning on, even on low beam too. Everything else did work perfectly (lows, highs, turn signal), besides the LED's


I double checked my connections and everything was fine. I've no idea what I've done wrong that the LED's are not turning on.

Here's a picture of my connections:

*also, what does the brown plug does? it doesnt plug into anywhere*




Please help!
