Default Replacement Bulb for Mirror courtesy lights

How many people have replace their regular courtesy light bulbs with new white or LED bulbs?

If so has there been any problems? I also believe there was a thread on this subject but can't locate it anymore.

I replaced mine.. it wasnt too hard, but my recommendation is get good quality bulbs because i did one side with a Putco 194 bulb and the other with a cheap eBay bulb, and the eBay bulb burned out after about a week.

The Putco bulb side is still working fine after a few months

Was it hard to change out? Did you have to open all 4 screws or pry open the mirror first?

Check out this thread.. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...e-lamps-2.html

I did it a few months ago so I don't remember the specifics right now, but if you do get stuck at any certain point, feel free to ask any questions.. I actually have to re-do one of mine so I may do it again tomorrow.

Once you figure out how to do the first one, the 2nd puddle lamp should take about 5 minutes
