Default My First Mod!
Well kinda, I replaced the stock tag & reverse lights with LED's. Pls forgive my pics due that i took them with my Treo, but none the less you get the idea. They look pretty dayum good if i say so myself, putting the trunk back panel back on was a real PITA.

Where did you get the bulbs and what's the type? Does the car recognize these and show no bulb fault?

Nice looking. I've been wanting to do the license plate lights since I've seen them on the new GS and IS.

I have no bulb faults at all, we are on the same page far seeing the IS & GS.

The reverse lights do have more of a blue tint to them but they all very bright and look good! You can see with and without the back up cam, so not a problem.

Sylvania has posted an easy reference guide for all the bulbs on your LS. You can go to their website and find all the OEM replacement lamps here.... http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/

Assuming that the license plate light is the same for all 2004 - 2006 LS430's the model number should be 2825 or 2825LL (Long Life)
