I actually didn't do my homework before i started doing LED's in the interior so i just bought what i could find (size-wise) on Amazon

This is a pretty detailed thread here on doing a full conversion, you might want to read this first:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...nd-part-s.html

This is what i bought:

front and rear sunvisor/mirror bulbs
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EWVKWBE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EWVKWBE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

License plate lights
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077G61NB7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077G61NB7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I went with Philips for the license plate lights solely for reliability issues. Not knowing how reliable the off-brand lights are i figured Philips will give me a piece of mind and i don't have to worry about being pulled over for having the darn license plate lights out.

dome light and puddle lights, also work for both trunk lights
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074KK1T9Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074KK1T9Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
these were a little bit tricky - they fit in the socket both ways but only light up in 1 position, so if you do get them and they don't light up when you first insert it - try flipping the bulb 180 degrees, it should work

all of the above are matching color, so now i have to find some bulbs for the map lights and the rear door lights, and then light bulbs for door handles, footwells and ashtrays. as far as interior goes. will have to do some more research on the rest of bulbs for exterior lights in the thread above

Tint - I went with Johnson film, ceramic, 20% all around. 35% is the maximum legal for WA for the front windows, but...
probably should have done 5% for the rear doors and back window but oh well, it looks good still

ETA: if you can spare a few extra bucks and want to keep your interior scuff free buy one of these, makes life so much easier and works better than screwdrivers...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C7D1JND/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C7D1JND/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There are cheaper sets out there as well, i figured a few extra $ for a few extra pieces and a storage binder is worth it. This particular set is pretty good/sturdy.

They don’t build them like they used to. I love the 04-06 LS430 in silver. It’s such a classy shade of silver.

Hey! I was searching through threads for some inspo for my '06 LS430 and came across your post! I really dig those rims but I am having a hard time ID'ing them, would you mind letting me know what the brand and model is? I'd really appreciate it!

Those are a pretty rare set of wheels. K-Break Crossnine. He also hasn't been on this forum since 2015.

Longer lug bolts in the rear for the spacer?

eibach but maybe this is only Europe. It is a German brand. Please buy one that you connect seperately for safety.

I didn't realize you need spacers to clear even Fsport rims...
