Awesome LED's. Took all of 15 minutes to install all of them.
1. These are directional with the voltage. Check to see that they work before you re-assemble everything....I didn't! I could have installed them in under 10 min if I paid attention. If it doesn't light up, flip the adaptor around.
2. The trunk bulb is a different size than the adaptor and is tricky to get in. I would highly reccomend just soldering the wires to the metal electrical frame. This will make total sense when you look at it and try to put an oversized adaptor into a socket for a smaller bulb. After flipping the light on and off (which moves the bulb around) with the switch 3 times, the adaptor pops out. The LED pannel will wedge the adaptor in and it will work as is, but for long term reliability, I'll solder it. Besides, you get a million adaptors with the other bulbs
; so no worries on cutting one adaptor wire.
3. Make sure you have the clear lenses with the door lights. I don't and the output is the same as stock. I plan on getting the clear lenses. Any group buy on those?
4. These LEDs are Awesome! I don't know why Lexus doesn't use them as OEM! Buy them as a Christmas present for your self and support your local vendors!!!! You won't be dissapointed. Shipping was fast.
Now, how about those puddle lights on the mirrors!?!?!

Nice write up!!
I appricate it.
I guess I should start a offical nigel-jdmparts led borad thread.
It will fit into the puddle lights on the mirror IF you are WILLING to opening the housing and seal it back.
