yep but something about them makes it not easy to replace. from sylvanias website:
This bulb location uses LED lighting and is not a simple replacement part. There is a printed circuit board unit that can normally be found at the dealer

Got it, I wanted to get a cooler white color and was hoping that swapping the lights out would be as easy as my second gen RX. Thanks for the input, I greatly appreciate it.

Quick question, I finally changed out all my lights but I was working on my puddle lights and ran into a problem.
I got the driver side to work perfectly with the first shot but when I was trying to do the passenger side I ran into issue. After replacing pulling out the led bulb and replacing it with the led bulb the lights won't come on. I first thought it might had been the bulb or wrong connection but after switching it out with the 2 other led bulbs I was stumped. I did push the bulb in a bit and noticed that the light went on, however once I released the pressure the bulb would simply turn back off. So I tried to put the original bulb on and that thing wouldn't light. I'm not an expert on electrical, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ron

I got the easy trunk bulbs and foot wells done.
I'll tackle four doors and ceilings later
Btw, it's a little hard to remove those foot well bulbs-- the super easy way of taking them out is using a long strip of tape. Fold the tape around the bulb, and gently pull out.
Thank you YouTube.

I did LED conversion this morning on my 2013, however Vanity light thats on drivers side does not work for some reason, i tried different LED bulbs and they work everywhere but there, so i assume there is something up with electric cables or something of that kind. Anybody could suggest how to fix it or should i visit a dealer for that?

I did take the original bulb that was on the driver side and put it on passenger side and it didn't work, I then out led on driver side and it didn't work, but when I put the same exact LED bulb on Z passenger side it did light up, so there's something up with driver side connection. Is there something I can do by myself maybe or should o advice at the dealership once I go for oil change?
