Were LED's standard
on 04+ LS430 tail/brake lights? Were they installed in the turn signals (front and rear), reverse lights and tag light? Were they used anywhere inside the car? I read a couple reviews online that stated that they were standard, then one said optional.

They came standard for the tail lights. Whoever said they were optional was probably mistaking an '04+ with a '01-'03, which didn't have LED tails. LEDs were only used in the tail lights.

i believe the leds are only used (standard) for 04-06 rear brake lights? the turn signals and the backup lights are still bulbs?

Yes the tails are LED's only but you can switch out the bulbs for LED's like i did. Read this thread.......

So the tails/brake and 3rd brake light are factory LED on 04+? Why didn't they put LED's in the turn signals too?

Not the 3rd brake light just the tail lights. Have no idea, i'm guessing they thought it was imortant or cost effective.

True!
Again probaly not that important to them, i think they should have LED'ed the entire car inside and out.
