Default Cargo area lights LED upgrade

I recently order a set of three LED inserts for the cargo area of my 2024 RX450h+ from Taiwan, via eBay. They arrived in today's mail and I installed them, one on the lift gate and the other two on each side of the cargo area. Big improvement in lighting in that area now so, I am happy with the quality. From order date to delivery was 18 days. Two pics of the old LED insert (1 LED) and the new one (12 LED's)., along with the lighting unit that Lexus provides in the back. You have to be a little careful removing the LED inserts. I used a very small screwdriver as a lever. I also purchased a different and large one for my wife's NX lift gate and it is like a flood light!

Default Rear Cargo LED upgrade

Hi Folks,

I found it odd that Lexus used a black-tinted housing for the rear cargo light; it makes their LED less effective. I have no issue with the current setup, but I want more usable light during the night.
These lights have more LEDs packed in them compared to the single LED that the OEM uses.
The LEDs are on the "cooler" (bluish) side, so it won't match with the rest of the interior's "warmer"(yellowish) look. I'm fine with that as long as have more light in the back.
I'm planning on getting a clear housing, like the side cargo lights, to replace the dark-tinted housing in the near future.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the amount of light these LEDs produce.

I did the same for 2025 RX350h.
Same product, but it is from Amazon.

What is the source for the Under-Dash lighting? Is it "plug 'n' Play" or does it require disconnecting and reconnecting wiring? I don't trust myself with any time wiring projects.

mine is also 2025 RX 350H but it doesn’t look as yellow as the left picture. Is it easy to install? Will it drain more on the 12v battery?
