What about the guys who bought the Quest led tails or Wise led tails? Should we rename this thread to JP/Wise/Quest Led tails since they all come from the same place.

Here are instructions from BananaGS's website: http://lexusmodz.netfirms.com/

Tools:
- Small flat screw driver
- Philip screw driver.


- Step1: put in your key, low and extend the steering wheel down/away the dash as much as possible. Disconnect your battery leaving the steering wheel hanging out
-Step 2: gently pull the dash bezel out, just pull straight out
-Step 3: slide the dash bezel out, and disconnect the power cable attached to it
-Step 4: remove the 4 Philip screws as showed in the figure below then you can slide the dash instrument out, disconnect the 2 connectors attached to the panel.

Reinstall everything back in the reverse order.

You can replace broken light.... when you have the dash out

If you look at the second picture, you can clearly see the brake light warning bulb, remove the bolts as intsructed and just pull out the brake light warning bulb. It is the second one from the left on the bottom row.




thanks hameed for the info !!!

Am i the only one what doesn't really care for them.. I think the clear part is too large, I prefer the Original Jps. (obviously these are more practical). It doesn't look as bad on the black gs.. Btw that exhaust is sick looking on the Jp Gs.

it would be great to see a photo comparison of those crystal oem toyota inner lights the same way tlw did with the led tails when he got them.. shots side by side and then shots with them activated on the car side by side. they just don't look that diff from a distance?

I'm probably the only person here who is not really excited about those JP style tail lights. I have to admit, they do look very nice on light colors cars, but IMHO the dark cars, especially black ones, look more classy with original 01+ style tails (I'm talking just about style, not LED/bulb option). But GS is both - sports and luxury sedan, so there is a choice of either 01+ "luxury" style, or the sportier looking JP/Wise style.
