I just bought a pair of LEDs for my city lights (parking lights) from VLEDS. Very fast shipping and nice LEDs. Will be buying more later.

Go to this website and find out the exact size/type of bulb you need, just pick your car and go from there: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...de/default.htm


I have literally tried 10 different types of LED bulbs in my car throughout the months and this website I found has the best product. I personally got Green LED for all my lights and they are incredibly bright compared to anything else I have used or seen on the market. http://www.superbrightleds.com/

To my knowledge yes. The only exception is a type of bulb used in the back of the IS250's its called a Festoon (looks like a tube with 2 end points that slip into the '+' '-' holder). They have different lengths (is250 stock is 35mm) so have a ruler or something with you. There are pretty standard sizes though. I dont think you will have a 36mm, think its more units of 5 or 10 so its obvious.

My best suggestions is look at the price. LED lights are proportional to price most of the time. I paid $6 each for a 5 sided LED 194 bulb (one in the dome light). If its too cheap then its probably a POS. Always look at the picture before you buy. Make sure its the ones with a circuitboard type of material.
