Which kind of bulbs exactly are you guys using? I want it to have the white affect just like on the new Lexus GS. I'm using this one type but it's really really dim. Pics would help a lot. Thanks in advance.

 

Yea, I'd like to know too.... Saw a GS the other night.... Lights look sick from the back.....

 

I bought the 9w led wedge bulb (921)....and for the back up light I have a pair of PIAA xtreme 12v 18w W2

I bought the 9w leds from

haha the new GS is exactly what moved me to change mine as well. Just installed mine today.
Got mine from Tec_toys 9led hyper whites. They are not as bright or as white as the gs's imo but the slight purplish(?) color they give out is very cool! i'm satisfied and i've received praises already.

How much did it run and was it hard to install??

 

$13 including shipping. Install was... kind of hard. There are instructions if you do a search but no pictures... it would be so much easier with pictures..

I tried doing it from the outside, but couldnt get it past the frame thing... so i had to work from the inside and flip out the clip things and then remove the black bar thing and then unscrew the one screw and then push the clip on one side to loosen it...

see how hard it is with just words -_-

IMO it was easy and the cost from superbrightleds.com was 12.40 with shipping.

If you are going to install the leds in the LPlate, go ahead and buy you a pair of bulbs for the back up lights. (PIAA H.I.D. W2 12v 18w) All I did was take off the truck lining and replace the bulbs, it took me maybe 15 mins total, hardest part is marking sure you get to all of the clips holding the lining in.

 

Can we get Links to all the bulbs right here, please?

 

Those bulbs looks tight!

 

A bit off topic but do the PIAA backup lights make a big difference in the brightness and are you worried about melting the fixtures ?

If those are 18W parts. How many Watts are the stock bulbs ?

 

wow...those W2's are the same that I replaced in my fogs on the CL..

 

nice, what does lexus use to get their lights to look like that

 

bright as hell!!! looks so awesome!!! good job man =)

 

Very easy to install, just take off trunk lining, replace bulb, put lining back on and done, they look great..

 

Just got mine in last night. Here is a pic. They're a little bluer than I wanted, but I like it.

 

Is there a clear LED bulb? I think that would look great....

 

I bought the PIAA's from pepboys $12.50 free shipping http://www.7453217467431.com/product...=1129392733078

 

The part number to search at pepboys is PIAA part number 19224 (W2) 18W

 

hey 2k5 did you put super whites in or are those actually blue?

 

The ones I'm using are super whites. The same ones flvol77 suggested to use. They aren't THAT blue in person.

 

Does anyone know which of the bulbs, out of all the ones mentioned above, match the new GS lights the closest??. I really dont want them that blue - makes it ricey. I want them bright white just like the new GS. Those look Awesome!

 

^ Yeah they do look a little too blue for super whites. I also dont want them to be that blue. Which is more white...... the 9w led from tec-toyz or superbrightleds?

 

I went with the amber LED's from Tec_Toyz and I'm very satisfied with them. They have a clean amber shine to them other then the normal amber 168 bulbs you buy from Pep Boys or something.

 

I've always used SuperBrightLEDs https://www.superbrightleds.com/

13 years....wow....Does this qualify for one of the oldest and most useless bumps?

 

Not sure if I want to blame Acurazine or Chrome. My browser jumped to this old thread below the actual one I wanted to reply to.

 

In your preferences you can disable "Related Threads" and "Infinite Scroll"....both of those I found crazy annoying when they did the last forum upgrade.

 

You da man thank you!
