Hey guys, I'm new here. I pick up my '08 IS350 on 12/22 and I am trying to get together some stuff for light mods before it comes in. I have the X-Package on it and i know the light color has been changed from blue to white. So my question is, did the LEDs change or did the LEXUS lens color change? Does anyone know how to change the color? I would like to go back to blue, but brighter of course.

If it is the same as the aftermarket ones, they don't use bulbs - it is an electroluminescent strip.
I changed mine but got the replacement strip off the same manufacturer. EL strips work on a higher voltage and not sure even if you will be able to open up the Lexus one.
If you are handy with a craft knife I guess you could put some blue colored film over the letters but it wouldn't be brighter.

^^ Hey James
I have a set of the 08's on the way..
I'll have a full write up with pics, once they come in..
Also, my 2008 Aluminum Scuff plates are still wrapped in the factory plastic.
They will be sold as NEW... once i get my Illuminated ones.

Bought mine on a GB for about $160, and then sold the non-illuminated ones that came with the Sports Pkg here on CL. So total cost outlay wasn't much. Doing it like that makes it a very reasonable upgrade. It's a no brainer, imo. Why wait?
