the led license plate lights are soo dim, you can't even see the numbers. Waste of money imo....I acutally took them off and bought some PIAA superwhite wedge bulbs. PIAA is a freakin ripoff. It was $10 for both bulbs. I switched out the first bulb and turned on the lights to see if it was working. Low and behold, they look exactly like the stock, albeit a little brighter but still yellow.

I'm just going to wait and find out what Lexus uses for the new GS and Is and proceed from there. sorry for hijacking you thread. Nice reverse lights though
