Side Door courtesy shadow ghost LED upgrade
Just upgraded the yellow lights located on the side of the door also known as puddle, ghost, shadow or courtesy lights. Got the from amazon ( iJDMTOY Xenon White 2 lights for $25 ). The quality is not great but they are very bright instead of not noticeable at all like the yellow OEM side door lights. A little preasure with an old credit card on the rear facing side will do. Here are some photos inside a pitch black garage with the yellow light and the led light.

I actually took the light housing out yesterday only to find that the stock led is welded together with the connector so apparently it cannot be swapped out..I was excited when you posted this thread but I think you forgot to attach the pics..and can you posted some pics reagrding how to swap out the stock lights? Thanks a lot!

Just do a search on eBay for Lexus shadow light. They range from $13-30. Personally, I think the ones without a circle around the logo look best.
I only installed them on the front because the rear door courtesy lights are angled and will distort the image.

OK, cool. Thanks for the info. Also, I totally agree about it being better without the circle around it. Also, I think the 2 fronts only...all 4 would be too much.
