aren't the 3GS puddle lights already L.E.D's?
I've seen the ES350 puddle lights and they look like they have filament bulbs. They look a lot different then ours.

I believe they are LEDs.
The light seems whiter and brighter than the puddles on my IS.

I have an 06 and they are not sharp enough for LED's. Just compare the light of your side mirror to your interior or trunk leds, totally different.

You might as well start hacking.If it's yellow,it's not a LED.
I would think the fade out will be different with LEDs.
Therefore,I don't think the GS has LEDs but the light is whiter than my '06 IS puddles were and look good enough to me..

The Lexus owner's manual have no information on this at all. Joe is right though, I dont think you can dim LEDs.
