Default Quick bulb related question for USDM IS-F tails...

Hey guys, just purchased these. Nigel is telling me they don't come with any bulbs. I purchased the 7440 Chrome Stealth Bulbs for the turn signals. Do I need to buy any other bulbs or are the 7440's all I needed to buy?

bout time you got F tails

IIRC the turn signal bulbs are the only ones that you need....assuming that the LED's are included

edit: I *think* you will also need a new harness since the bulbs are different......see pics here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/4834863-post2.html

Depend what kind of IS-F taillights you got from Nigel. My girlfriend recently bought a USDM IS-F taillights from him. It comes with the harness. You can reuse your stock bulbs, but the stock bulbs is not amber. So you might have to buy amber bulbs.

another option you can try is paint your stock bulbs with a yellow spray can. It works too. But is not that much to just get a new set of bulbs from your local Autozone, kragen..

Hope that helps.

I think everyone pretty much covered everything.

JDM one come with everything, harness + bulbs.

USDM one, it only comes with the tail-light itself, but in my package deal the USDM one already come with harness when you purchase from me. But still no bulbs.

That's what I'd like to know. I thought the amber looked fine. In fact, I kinda like the slight reflection of amber when the sun shines through.
