^^ that's an option, don't really love the look on it tho. Don't feel that confident with how it's held up in there (hanging freely or double sided tape?) and $55 + another $10 for the vanity lights? I got all of my LEDs for under $20 and they look good and do the same thing

For your trunk light and door lights you'll want LEDs that have side output since the bulbs are not facing straight down like the dome lights

If you have this headlight, you have HID. Single lens.



If you have this headlight, you have LED. Dual lenses.



When I had the LED headlights on my IS loaner, I found them plenty bright. The high beams were extremely bright too.

These pictures were taken at night showcasing regular LED bulbs, not an LED strip.

Good info here but one question from me: at what level (i.e. ?K) do headlights look blue?

The rim lights up when you open the door, then for the map lights it turns on that half of the panel. No single bulb is going to output that much light that evenly. Never had an issue with mine
