Its so hard to tell what these look like at night. Are they really blue like this? I'd love some blue ones. I had some painters tape on my truck interior lights after replacing the back window and it blue-d up the whole cab. I been driving around with my ghetto lights ever since. I'm leaning towards these tec-toyz....

Xtin,
What did you guys used to pop the plastic cover of the lights before replacing them? I pin would work? I am scared to damage the plastic cover..
Please let me know a safe way to do this.
Thanks in advance

Just take it gently and you'll get it without busting anything. Unfortunately it was my experience that once you've done this it doesn't make it any easier to do it again. It's not really like the doors or other lights.

Just put mine in a few minutes ago. Wouldn't say these are great for finding items on the floor, but for general lighting they look very nice. I'm VERY happy with how they make the interior look and will be sending Brian some positive feedback. I bought the Hyper Whites and these are blue Enough for me. The license plate LED is ...OK...not quite the IS350 look I was hoping for, but oh well. By the way this is all on a 2G CL.

Hi could someone please let me know how I could replac the license plate lights. I took the light container out but I can't take it out fully because its stuck inside the white see through part of the license plate holder of the car? How could I get it out to plug the lights IN?
please help

What I had to do (and it was a real pita) was put the outer lens in from the outside and the bulb holder in from the inside. You really have to practice, have one bulb put together in the trunk so you can see how it fits together. so the lens put in from the outside and the bulb holder from the inside. worked for me, but it wasn't easy.

i think they are hyper whites.. but the camera+lens were probably d-slr and it has different lighting effect so it looks too blue-ish.. bet it doesn't look that blue in real life

O my bad.. Umm i just looked at the fuse box... and found the one that i need to replace. but i guess i need to buy another one to make it work?

Yeah, you will have to buy a new one. My suggestion for troubleshooting is to take a non essential fuse from another position (MAKE SURE IT'S THE SAME AMPERAGE) plug it into the position already blown and check your lights. Either way, purchase some new fuses.

I bought 9LED white and they are MUCH DIMMER than my old lights MUCH MUCH, and i think they look a little purplish, I DONT THINK HE SENT ME THE RIGHT STUFF and I don't know what to do. My lights r VERY VERY dim like you cant notice it AT ALL. If anyone knows.... i took my car 2 a professinoal 2 do it and I don't know what else I could have done because I don't know how 2 do it.
