How do I do it safely without harming the cars electrical system. I also would like to know if I can buy the entire kit....
Planning on changing
-Front and rear turn signals
-Fog lights
-DRL/High beams?
-Reverse light
- License plate lights
-Side mirror puddle lamps
Basically everything exterior that is a yellow halogen bulb, I'd like to change out to an LED bulb that is preferably not on the blue side, but a warmer white. Thanks!

See Lighting section of the pinned thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...iy-thread.html, plenty of discussion that already covers what you're asking about.
The only information I haven't seen is someone successfully bypassing the lamp failure detection circuits for the bulbs connected to those circuits. You'll find my comments on how to do that in one of those older threads. Generally easier for most people to add a resistor to the bulb's circuit to simulate the expected current draw, but if you truly want to disable the detection circuit, it's technically possible.

I bought all my bulbs from Superbrightleds’ website. V LED’s used to sell a set of LED DRL setup for our cars. If you put LED bulbs in the DRL, it will disable the DRL function and only work as a high beam.
The turn signals will probably blink fast with LED bulbs. You can also put an LED in the third brake light.

Has anybody ever found that replacing the license plate lights with leds caused it to drown out the ability to see through the backup camera at night?
im almost hesitant to go with the 360 degree leds out of fear of this happening, can someone who’s done it chime in and put my concerns to rest?
