Hi, new guy here. I just got a IS250. I want to replace the original bulb with a white LED bulb. There is no instruction in the manual. Anyone know how?

Yep, Go ahead and pop one out and take a look. You can tell just by looking at them on too! See how yellow they are? Thats incandescent, not LED.

i assumed they were. because the license plates lights look so much better. im just wondering why they say they are LED when they are not.

I'd like to know too. They are in FACT incandescent even thought the window sticker does in FACT call them LED.

BTW any good source for these LED bulbs? I was browsing on the internet and found some many different kind of LED bulbs available. They range from 1 LED bulb to 9 LED bulb. Which one should I get?

Thing is, to decide which bulb to get you need to go look at the bulb placement itself, how it will be mounted, the size of the opening also and decide from there. some LED's point in various directions, you dont wanna put 6 forward bulbs when the application needs a side firing bulb. That is an oversimplification but you get my point since LEDs are unidirectional.

LED for the GS, not for the IS.

If I ever change those out I am going to use a pair of hyper white MTEC 194s like I did for my city lights.

Damn. That's not what my window sticker says.
