So are these the same for the LS??

"2IS 5000K LED Replacement Guide:

Front Dome (3 slots in '06-'09, 2 slots in '10+): V-LEDS HID 5K WHITE 4 M-SMT 2W HIGH POWER BULBS 194 168 158

Rear Dome (2 slots): V-LEDS 5K WHITE 1.5W 3 LED HIGH POWER UNIVERSAL DOME LIGHT BULB 31-36MM ADJUSTABLE

Vanity Mirror (1 slot for each mirror, 2 slots total): V-LEDS HID 5K WHITE 4 LED 2 WATT HP M-SMT FLANK BULBS 194 168 158

Door/Courtesy (1 slot for each door, 2 slots total): V-LEDS HID 5K WHITE 4 LED 2 WATT HP M-SMT FLANK BULBS 194 168 158

Trunk (1 slot): Xenon White Super Bright 12 SMD Forward Aiming LED Panels - Universal Fitting (V-LEDS no longer sells an LED appropriate for the trunk, so I recommend these JLC ones instead. Please note that JLC sells these in pairs so you'll have an extra. For the best pricing, contact CL forum vendor AUTO Design directly.)

Puddle Lights (1 slot for each side view mirror, 2 slots total): V-LEDS HID 5K WHITE 4 LED 2 WATT HP M-SMT FLANK BULBS 194 168 158

Parking Lights (1 slot for each headlight assembly, 2 slots total): 2 V-LEDS 5K WHITE 194 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 2825 (See this thread for an in-depth discussion on parking lights: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...ive-guide.html)

Reverse Lights (2 slots): V-LEDS 5K WHITE 19 LED 8W HIGH POWER BULBS 917 918 920 921 922 923 579 "

If so i'm ready to go

Got them from CL vendor Car Light Trends.

This is probably a dumb question but just wanted to make sure what I am reading is correct.
So these bulbs are direct replacement for the fog correct? No ballast required?


Thanks Guys

Fog lights are 9006 halogen, not xenon (hid)

You need an aftermarket HID kit for fogs if you want HIDs

I have fleabay kit for $35 shipped and works just fine. Try searching the forum, tons of posts on HID kits. Many people have liked the DDM Tuning Raptor Kit

Try this search string and look through the posts. Click here ->>> https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sea...archid=8442956

They should fit, may be close though. The benefit to these is getting back the true light fade out that the LEDs cut short.

anybody think these would be good replacements for reverse bulbs?

just to add a suggestion,

you might look into the 5050 SMD LED's..
these are probably the most "affordable" and brightest before you go crazy and get those CREE based ones..

1st i dont think the number of leds increases or decreases the failure rate.. thats down to the quality of the construction...they all seem to be cheap enough just buy a spare set an put up in case of failure... i've had mine 2+ yrs and no issues (of course now that i've typed this failure is on the horizon) fyi mine are 24-smd bulbs

2nd (your reverse light bulb pic) is actually a dome light bulb and wont fit in the reverse housing..
