This topic was in an earlier thread not too long ago. I replaced my stock license plate bulbs with 168 194 Refractor 5 LED (Xenon White) Wedge Bulbs. What a great upgrade in lighting for the rear.

I don't know if it is me or did LEXBOX's gs lights look much brighter, with the same type of bulbs.?.?

Has anyone had the HYPER WHITE BULBS on a Lexus before or now.

The M4s seem to light up more area the those 4LED's. It also seems to be a closer color to the 'hyper white'.

I just got my bulbs from eBay yesterday. It only took 1 day to receive. I was going to change them last night until I realize how big of a head ache it is just to get to the bulb. So I think I am going to wait until my new rear lights come in.

It was pretty easy. Just pull back the cover on the trunk lid, but since you got new tails coming in then I would wait.
