installed leds in front and rear dome, side mirror puddles, and reverse lights
i did this to help lighten the confusion incase you are debating on installing new LEDs in your IS250/350 and arent sure which ones to buy (thanks to pocky for the phone assistance)...
and watch these video clips for a better idea of the lights:
http://www.makesyouthink.com/is250/is250lights.avi (1.5MB)
http://www.makesyouthink.com/is250/is250lights2.avi (3MB)
http://www.makesyouthink.com/is250/is250lights3.avi (1MB)
the headlights are 6000k D4S bulbs and the very light blue light where the highbeams are are actually a pair SUPER HID WHITE REFRACTOR 5 LED (it looks like its really blue cause i replaced the highbeams with some 9006 NOKYA bulbs and when they arent powered the bulb is blue (so just think of the led flashing through a non functional blue bulb then you get all that crazy blue)
i dont have pics or vids of the reverse lights but just letting you know i used 2 SUPER HID WHITE 9 LED 921 912
(the side mirror puddle lights were too blue for my taste so i am re-ordering VELOCITY LEDS HID WHITE HIGH POWER LED BULBS 194 instead of blue ones that are in there now)
thanks to www.vleds.com for the fast shipping!

that site doesnt seem to work.
you pretty much have the same setup as me, but i have blue lights in the inside. and i used 5-led refractors in the front dome lights to reduce hot spots.
love your white car.

yah my buddy kind of said that too... he said just put at least one of those blue ones from the side mirror into the front dome light (you know how there are three in a row? yah he said put one blue in the middle and it should make for an interesting mellow blend... i might do that. i just ordered my two new bright WHITE replacements for the mirrors)
