noe1988 it would be ideal to use a capacitor. all the ones i installed have them.

Good work.

forgot to mention this to noe1988......98% of the lights i installed were very easy to do it's as simple as swapping them out. it's that 2% that gets a little tricky. you have to take everything apart and sometimes modify the housing or assembly and to top it off you have to de-solder the old bulbs to remove them and solder the new ones in. if you decide to do it i wish you luck. it takes time and patience.....2 things i seriously lack!

You stole my idea!!!! Just kidding. I plan to put an LED in the rear armrest cupholder of my LS430. Dont want it too bright because i want it to be the same brightness as the ambient lighting in the car but white. It seems when the white color shines on to a bottle of water, it gives off the perfect hint of blue. Will post pics when im finish.

LZMF1

cool man!! please post pics when you do yours.

if you look at how mine are installed you'll notice that the lights are directed towards the inside of the cupholders and are barely noticable unless you are seated in the front and actually looking at the cupholders.

another note......i changed the position of them. i took them out and sealed the holes with JB-Weld then put them in the same spots on the other side.

how did you replace the footwell lights and running board lights?

LZMF1

footwell lights involved soldering. i basically swapped out the LEDs that were already in place(the stock ones are rather dull and boring). the running board lights are very easy to do. that's just swapping out the incandescent bulbs with LED ones.

do you access the board lights from underneath?

LZMF1

yup. check your PMs
