Default My 2004 RX 330 has red LED brake lights

Eveidence number two can actually be seen from the outside looking into the lens. You will notice 5 clear refector diffusers around the center 168 bulb. There are 5 LED's under them. Evidence number 3 is that white connector shown by the red arrow. This powers the LED board. The two other bulbs have their own power harness. Evidence number 4 is the most telling of them all aside from the actual LED that I could see. This is stamped on the back of the tail light housing as shown in the 2nd pic below. It says "LED 12V 6.3W" In relation, the area near the 5W 168 bulb the casing is stamped with "5W" and the blinker bulb area is stamped with "21W" Now, you guys have to back me up the next time someone questions the LED tails in the RX330.

Anyway, here are the pics.



My 2004 RX 330 has red LED brake lights. What is the part number for this assembly and I can order it or get one from a salvage

If you are just wishing to replace a failed (or failing) LED disc (very common on the RX330), it is pretty easy, but small hands help. There are a couple of youtube videos on it. I ordered mine from Belle Lexus -- great service and fast shipping.

Hi, My experience with Led bulbs on my 2005 RX330 was confined to the Tag lights, BU lights and the Liftgate mounted taillights and Side Marker lights.
I had NO issues replacing the tag lights and back up lights with Led bulbs.
When I replaced the Liftgate Mounted Tailight bulb with Canbus rated Led bulbs, the Dash warning light for the taillights came on!
Even though I was using a Canbus rated Led bulb, the Dash warning light wouldn't go out until I put Resistors on those Led bulbs.
I replaced the Side Marker Lights with Led bulbs and NO Issues there!
Good Luck with using Led bulbs with the Canbus system.
