Looks very nice! How hard (or easy) is it to install? Do we have to remove our taillights or is that velcro bit enough access? Would be very interested if it was a simple install/plug and play. Thanks!

Took all of 2 minutes to install. No need to remove the whole taillight. Just remove the velcro, replace the bulb, and you’re good to go. Very simple installation.

I went to the EBay site and did a search for 07, it says they aren't compatible.

It said that for my ‘11 as well but when you contact the seller, he says they are compatible.

Thanks! I took a look at lunch today and the bulb does come out easily. It sounds like it's just plug and play. I will add it to the list of things to do eventually. Thanks

This is side is friendlier, kind of like Dallas used to be.

anyway, looking forward to new bulbs. Also, while your job situation is scary, I am sure you are good at what you do so you probably won’t have too much trouble. Thumbs up for success.



WORD!!!!! I grew up in Fort Worth, then Mosier Valley, most people don't know where Mosier Valley is but it's a little city right by Euless. I miss home.

There are many a Dallas refugee over here.

And for being only 35 miles distant, yet in the same country, these cities could not be more different in attitude.

Hi all:

I received my bulbs today and and very easy to change.

Wow, what a difference in brightness. I am very happy the OP put this thread out.

I really feel now now others will be able to see the flasher easier and hopefully make the necessary speed changes.

Thanks again.

Totally agree. I know all things change, but it seems to be going a bit slower over on our side.

Hope all is going better on your shock projrct and work.

Just as FYI, I am attaching a bulb list for 2010 LS 460.

2010 LS bulb requirements.
Maybe I'm missing something here...

The list shows the rear turn signal bulbs should be clear, but the bulbs in the link are amber. Does it really matter?

So, does the 2008 have two bulbs per side or not?

FWIW, I don’t think it matters. When I changed the rear turn signal they were clear, but once inside, no effect on color just a nice bright flash.

DEFINITELY two bulbs per side on the '08.

Very likely the '07 and '09, too.
