I got mine from http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html Ordered the WLED-WHP for mirrors (qty 2), trunk (qty 2), all the doors (qty 4).

For the license plate, I installed the WLED-X6 as the WHP would be way too bright.

Cool! thanks for the advance notice on the lic plate led. I wouldn't want the license plate light to be too bright.

clarification: Will the WLED-WHP (wedge) work for mirrors,trunk, and doors? just making sure they all use the same part. TIA.

Yes, they all use the wedge bulb. The interior is different as stated by Tee.

ok so im getting ready to order my led's for the backup/reverse lights and the license plate. according to osram sylvania the backup lights for an 04 ls430 are "921" not 7440. not sure what to do here i really dont want to order the wrong ones and get stuck.

i was gonna order these for the reverse : 921-x12 Wedge Base LED bulb
and these for the license plate : WLED-x4 LED bulb

i think if i go with anything more than the wled-x4 bulbs for the plate area it will be too bright. as for the reverse lights i need help.....
