^^^im in same boat as you HiHoSilver
I have a 2012, and looking to do the same.

Yes, there is OEM LED fogs, I'm just trying to confirm the part #'s before I order.

Hello,
Hoping to get some clarification as I've read numerous articles with contradicting statements.
I have a 2011 Lexus RX350 with OEM Fog light halogens that I'd like to swap out for OEM fog light LEDs which are on the newer Lexus vehicles of today - I came across this part number 81210-48050 but it seems that this pertains to the 2013 models and up.
Is this doable and is this a plug and play swap ?
Your help will be most appreciated.
AL

81220-48050 is for the other side. Same numbers I got.
I'm in contact with Bell Lexus(eBay parts dealer) and he is confirming it with me soon.
I'm 99% sure they are all compatible. Just double checking before I order.
Will let you know...

Side note: yes, they are plug and play. Look at a thread on this page from 07LexusGuy. He did a very nice DIY wig pics. It's very easy swap.

I'm pretty sure they're are compatible as well but don't want to pull the trigger until I'm 100% sure. Would hate to start taking things apart to only find out they don't fit and have to put everything back to it's original state. Are you buying the LED fogs from Bell Lexus ? What are they charging ?
Thanks again for your help.

Bell Lexus couldn't confirm with my VIN. He said they might, but couldn't guarantee
I'm going to pull the trigger, and hope for the best
They give full $ on returns(minus shipping costs).. they're $260+ 12 shipping on ebay from Bell

worth the gamble...

Sounds good... Found Bell Lexus North Scottsdale on Ebay but they want $268 plus $8.50 for shipping. Is this the same contact you're using ?
