^ I've read of members experiencing the fading needle problem. I think it's just wear and tear and not related to any other mod.

The good news is that you're in NorCal and there's a guru up here who can fix them for you and even change the color of your needle to whatever you wish: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...f-needles.html

 

yup yup, I pm'd him about a month ago and I'll definately be doing this mod in the future. All modding will have to wait until after my wedding tho (a year). Now that i think of it, i should have got my rims, coils and other mods done first before i proposed! LOL!

 

i have a 2010 is350 and have replaced all my interior light including the courtesy mirror light with vled... no problems... yet...

one problem though... my 6k day running light doesn't match... how about a replacement vled....

 

^ Your 6000K LED DRLs don't much what? Each other? The parking lights?

 

Has someone come up with a solution for this?? Im really tired of having to wait untill the lights turn off inside to lock my car/ Start my car.

the other day i noticed i couldn't roll down my windows form my keyfob

 

^ Have you tried removing the rear dome light LED that is closest to the rear of your car (there are 2 festoons in the rear dome light area for those that didn't know)?

 

Oh i havent tried that. I was just awaiting for someone to come with a solution.

If i remove those will it fix the issue?

 

I've read of this issue with the '10 & '11 models.
It's just not worth the hassle to me.Obviously it's a electrical issue and I think I'll just keep the stock interior lighting except for the door panel lights and just do the puddles,parking lights and VLEDs 5K 28 LED fogs to match the HIDs.

 

^ You only have to remove one of them, and as I remember it's the rear one. Give it a shot and report back. I know V-LEDs is working on revised festoon bulbs to remedy that problem.

 

I will try it today and see what happens

 

That's good to know.I'll wait.
I emailed Bill at VLEDs and asked about the issue and never received a reply.

 

Did the LED installation a couple of days ago.All VLED bulbs and no problems...yet.

Still have to do the trunk.

I see a few having a problem are using 31MM LEDS in the rear dome.
Any chance using the 31MM LEDs in the rear dome are causing a problem vs the correct 29MM size?

 

i have had these installed for probably a year now with no issues. however the back two just started flickering the other day. random...

 

Has anyone heard of someone with this problem who has high-power LED in the puddle lights only (and stock halogen or normal-power LED in the interior) for the later model year IS?

 

I don't think so. The problem seems to have been narrowed down the rear dome light with high power LEDs.
