Want to go further? Message the EBay seller and tell him/her to add the NX to the list.
I didn't enter all that detailed info on the NX. So I have to think the NX is in his data base. I'm not contacting the seller, if he doesn't want to sell his stuff then it's his loss. I won't be ordering from him.

Not to niggle, but the link you provided above leads to a page where it does not say that the NX is non-compatible. You would have had to select your year, make and model to get that message (as I just did), or have a vehicle preregistered with EBay and selected it (which I do and also just did). Again, this simply means that the seller has not added the NX to his "compatibility list" (despite it being compatible with a bevy of other Lexus vehicles).

I own those exact lights and have successfully installed them in my cargo bay (with the festoon connector). I do, though, agree with the sentiment that a 28mm festoon would have fit a little better.

Good grief, you've repeated yourself twice now. On top of the page it lists the compatibility list to check, it doesn't mention not being compatible with any specific model until you check. You have to check the compatibility list which has over 900 models including 14 Lexus models.
Also, I did not provide the link, it was from another user. No sale.

here's a link for a 28mm festoon that I know works as I purchased it:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251718693274?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
And another style 28mm festoon:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121311695011?http://www.ebay.com/itm/121311695011?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
These are auctions for 6 packs each. I went from the LED I have in the first post, to the 28mm festoon in the top link here. It's a 6 LED festoon.

I didn't check the compatibility or anything. As I mentioned earlier, I started geeking out on LED upgrades. I just bought both.

I chose this company to purchase the IS package from because of price as well as the fact they post on CL and post their instructions for some things as well (IS puddle lights - I'm still too scared to do those as it's my wife's car...).

He also responds quickly to emails.

The IS250 bulbs are the same upgrade as the NX vanity bulbs. I think I'm going to do them next just so that all the lights in the car are white(ish). The vanity lights look so yellow/orange in comparison.
Thanks for the info and for doing the heaving lifting. I'll probably order a set this weekend.

Just wanted to share a photo of bright white reverse/backup LEDs installed on a 2015 Lexus NX, which complements the rest of the modern LED lights on the NX. Installation is very simple, takes about 10 minutes to remove the factory incandescent bulbs and install the new LED bulbs.

I'd like to thank TYPOCL and everybody else for the info on changing the cargo bulbs.

I changed my last night and joined the club.

What type of LEDs were installed for the reverse lights? Thanks.

What? $34 for LED cargo lights? That's insane. The lights I used (CLICK HERE) only cost less than $2 per LED bulb.

that one is kinda long, and it also shoots light out the end

search ebay for T10 wedge LED bulbs and snag something.. I saw your other post where you had a picture of what you have for stock cargo lights. Not sure why Lexus changed it, or maybe you're just lucky.

these should work:
