Yup, just pull out the old one (be careful, they get hot if they've been on for a while) and pop in the new LED replacement. Remember, polarity matters, so if it doesn't work the first time, flip it around.

since these vleds are always out of stock
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/G...38587-1-2.html

would these ebay ones be similar?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/White...#ht_8872wt_825

their shape seems very similar
has anyone compared?

^ It looks like they would work, but with no personal experience I can't say for sure. You can be the guinea pig.

lol but i wouldn't have the vleds one to compare with to see if they are really brighter!

but you know what.. if after a few days i still don't see the vleds one become available.. i'll probably go with those ebay ones
since the vleds ones aren't their special 2W ones.. probably the ones on ebay will yield a very similar brightness?

hmmm.. i guess we'll only find out if we try

^ Yeah, it's not that big of a deal for the parking light. IMO, the parking light shouldn't even be that bright, because you want it to blend in with your headlights, not overpower them.

I haven't personally tried these, but the ones Club Lexus vendor Xenon Depot sells should do the trick: http://www.kbcarstuff.com/194-LED-36...30194w-360.htm

i don't think these are 6000k though
might be more like 5000 or 4500k? i think these will probably match the OEM HIDs pretty well?

but for me i'm looking for 6000k to "try" to match my lows and fogs

http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/G...38587-1-2.html

these are in stock again!!
but the vleds coupon codes aren't working!
i guess they're getting so much business that they know even without the coupons ppl will be buying their LEDs?
i'm thinking to search around for coupons.. but afraid when i do decide to buy them they'll be outta stock again!

Yup, should be 15% off. I got the code from V-LEDs Facebook fan page.

Let me know what you think when they're installed!
