As far as LEDs, I rock AuxBeam LED 6000k. I had it on my 2020 IS till I totaled that car and was still good and bought a set for my DHP. Good quality!
Congrats on your purchase. Post a pic once installed. BTW ... Install is super easy.

And thanks for the recommendation. AuxBeam makes some amazing stuff, so I will check them out!

I think Leon was out of stock when I inquire two-three months ago and he finally restock. His work looks on point and clear af.

And that's my next project when the weather warms up .. To switch out the remaining incandescent lamps to LED. Could you share any info on the LEDs you selected?

Thanks again!
I started this thread some time ago regarding swapping out interior LEDs, so you can see how the interior would look in conjunction with black seats. I got the JDM ASTARs off of eBay and they're working pretty good. The only lights I haven't changed are the puddle lights under the side mirrors - as clumsy as I am, I didn't want to inadvertently break something and not be able to put it back together.

Great info. Appreciate the link. I think Lexus has already switched some lights over to LED. Front Door / Map lights and rear door/dome lights now stock LED (or so it appears), but the front vanity and footwells are definitely still incandescent.

I wonder if the vanity and footwell lights in my IS are the same as your lights. 1 pack should do it, but Amazon gives me a "not compatible with your car" message. I guess worse case I can return them.

And I hear ya about worrying about breaking something. The first week I had the car, I was already taking apart the rear view mirror covers to tap power from the rain sensor for my radar detector. Happy to report nothing broke, or blew up

Thanks again!
