Im waiting for my #3022 Festoon Bulb from V-LEDS.com to come in, I orded it Thursday so it should be here by Monday hopefully, its for my trunk light. I was hoping it woudl be brighter than the current one I have in there but the more I read about these LED's the more skeptical I become... I REALLY hope its brighter because that is one of the reasons I invested in the light, not to mention the great bright white color

I am having trouble with getting the side mirror out to replace the puddle lamps with LEDs. I tried pulling up on the mirror so that it would pop out, but it seems like I would have to apply a lot of force to do so. I am afraid of breaking the mirror. Is that all I need to do to get the mirror out? Just push at top and pull out from the bottom till it pops out?
Anyone live in the Milwaukee area and is willing to do this mod for me?

okay so I've read this thread over and over. I'm trying to get this right. I'm looking on vleds.com,
I need 3 of these for my front dome light.
and I need 2 more for my rear dome light
for my puddle lamps I need two of these
or should I get the 6led ones instead of 5? I read one post where they said the 6's didn't fit.
and for my vanity mirrors I need two more of ^^^ those?
if that's all correct, is there an ebay link for those lights cheaper or anything? I know others have posted posts like these but I haven't really found a straight forward answer.

For the Front Domes you want #194 Bulbs and the 5 LED Refractors work best! I just installed blue ones in the front and the #3022 31mm Festoon bulbs (blue) in the back also! It still gives enough light and they looks sooooo tight! I'll post up some pictures later

Headlights?
hey you guys
ok so i HATE the yellow DRLs that are stock on my IS350. Since I don't have have the HIDs, i was thinking about changing the DRLs to superwhite bulbs and perhaps changing the second bulb to an LED bulb (similar to the new LS)
what do you guys think? does it make sense to have a LED headlamp or should i just change the DRL to white and go for the all white lights look?
