Side View Mirror LED Puddle Lights
I have a 2014 and I replaced the door courtesy lights with these,

They look good but the outside side view mirror puddle light not being LEDs are bothering me. Anyone have any links to puddle lights that fit? Here are the courtesy lights I bought off ebay. The sideview mirrors are the powered fold in kind by the way. I just want something to match the white cool courtesy lights instead of the warm white outside lights for consistancy.

How do you like the courtesy lights? Thinking about putting these in my '15 fsport. Have you seen any with the fsport logo instead of the lexus?

Just completed this and decided to go with Amber LEDs from VLEDs to match the front side marker and mirror turn signals. Bulbs are much much brighter than stock. Install was a bit complicating but a big thank you to everyone who provided instruction on how to do it.

Thank you sir! Will make sure to get various angles close and far away for this thread in the next few days. I can confirm after putting everything back together that's all is functioning as intended. Plz do not pay to anyone to do this, YOU can do this!

@CaptRog21 i've used both - VLEDs are costly but quality is very high. Their output ratings and color temps are very accurate (natural white=5000k; pure white =5500; cool white (white-blue)=6000k).
iJDMToy's bulbs are good and offer a high value for the price. I still have my trunk LED strip from iJDMToy running strong after many years (https://store.ijdmtoy.com/products/l...ht-50-049-aqua).
For the puddle bulb, i went with 194 VLEDs white 5000k bulbs: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ml#post9389785

I struggled too with this part (getting the mirror off) I tried all approaches and the BEST one that worked for me, was to take a towel and pry it inside the mirror housing and then pulling firmly (uniformly from both ends), upwards. The mirrors came off instantly and the rest off the Install was a breeze.
Second hard part is putting the mirror back on. You have to make sure everything aligns perfectly, and that nothing is loose. Ensure that the puddle light clips on its spot properly (else you will have rattles problems later on)
Good luck!
