I will do the recall next week. I am doing the 1000 miles free check and as well couple fit and finish items. Want to make sure those are taken care of before I install Valentine 1 this weekend. I don't want to be blame that I did it when installing the RD. The replacement part will arrive around lunch tomorrow so should have my car back tomorrow. Will take a picture and post tomorrow night. Also wanted for lexus to check my vibrating hood at higher speeds and bumps. They compared to other new truck and had the same effect. So Lexus consider this as no problem, but they have reported my concern back to HQ.
Over the weekend will post DIY for radar detector for conceled display install and also I am installing chrome side moldings. Weather will not be the best, so perfect timing for doing things in the car.

Here it is the pictures of parking lights with 5k bulbs against HID lights. HID are brand new so they look more yellowish (will get whiter within first 100hrs of use). Also parking lights came out a little whiter than actually those are, but gives you an idea. Pakring lights give a nice warm white color which matches very closely the HIDs.

Took a closer look today. Dome lights should support the Putco 360 without any problems. Also the flat board type should work as well. Since the support is limited, I would go with the 360. Parking lights and puddle lights may not work as the clearance seems to be limited. Doors may work, but it would require removing a clip. I may do some testing soon. Will post pictures and review.

My interior bulbs are v-LEDs.

I used the single bulb Putco 194 LED's for my running board lights and they fit with no problems.

I didn't bother with the one in the rear since it doesn't do much. I have replaced the parking lights as they give this ugly yellow collor forward. For the parking for sure I would go with the 5k v-leds when those come back in stock.

Light in inside door handles
While installing my Valentine1 with conceled remote, I have noticed that inside the car, door handles have a light . I want to replace the bulbs there as well with LEDs. I am sure it is simple, but doesn't anyone know how to open the door handle? Don't want unnecesarily put scratches trying to figure out how to open.
