That was excellent. If every procedure discussed on clublexus was presented like that, we would all put the dealerships out of business. And save ourselves thousands!

Thank you for posting that. Very helpful!

Sorry about the crappy video quality, i'll try to turn the camera around the right way next time. Next video i'll post will be replacing the springs on your RX.

Thanks, mate. Perhaps a tripod for the camera or a local kid, perhaps even yours, to work the camera while you work. Still, was easily understood from what you posted.

Where did you purchase your LEDs? Did you replace any others inside your RX?

Here's the link to the actual bulb I bought.

Not BA9S as I originally said in the video.

Yep, I did all of them. I did a custom one for the center light using three 12-SMD panels, that one is hella bright. Here's some pics of the setup :

OUTSTANDING do-it-yourself video!!! Now I won't break it because the replacement is $30.
