We have nearly every LED for the interior and exterior of the RX. If not, we can special order it. We have some 921 LED's on order and I promise you we can offer a significant savings over vleds and we are a supporting vendor!

Let us know what you need! Dome lights, door lights, gauge cluster lighting, etc.

Can you quote a set of reverse bulbs for an 04 330rx?

Looks like that year uses a 7440 bulb. We have the 7440 LED for $3.99 each and they can be ordered here:

Im looking for some bright backup bulbs and the front and rear dome light led bulbs in white (not yellowish or blueish) for the 2006 RX400h. Can you give a price quote and are they plug and play?

This is a good site to find out what your car takes. The problem is that it's not always accurate or complete
http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/applic...s/lrgmain.aspx

The reverse lights I will have in a couple weeks, they are 921s. The dome light is showing just one 31mm festoon. It is white. I would think you have more than one dome light in there, maybe a map light or two.

I would pop off the dome cover and verify what you have and how many you need. We have the festoon in stock, $2.99.

Would be nice to see additional data about the products on your site. Not only do I we care to see color temperature and price, we also want to see the lumen output. If I am paying to replace a set of 194 bulbs, for example, I want to know how much brighter compared to a standard bulb they would be.

I understand what you are saying and will implement some changes when I get my next order of LEDs to have a comparison.

I see what all the other sites are doing and to me, it is overly complicated to buyers. Brightness ranges, 5-10 different choices of one LED, difference in light projection, Light outputting straight out vs 180 vs 360 degree, and all at 10 different price points.

It's all great, but as a buyer I want one bulb that works perfect for the application I need it in at a great price. I want one LED that works perfectly in my side indicators.

Our 168 LED's are perfect replacements for OEM lighting. They will not be obnoxiously over-bright and the light projection will be correct to the application. I've attached a photo below of the type of product you would be receiving.

Does not need to be that complicated, Jason. For example...

A standard Sylvania 194LL bulb is easily found to have an output of 25 lumens with a color temperature of 2800K and with a given set of dimensions when searching a local B&M store:

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...rchTerm=194+ll

A similar Sylvania LED replacement bulb is easily found to output 55 lumens with a color temperature of 6000K, again with dimensions provided:

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...led#fragment-2

Now, while I agree that this LED may not be the appropriate bulb for a particular task due to fitment or color temperature it would be helpful to have more details available for those with more than casual knowledge of the topic. This would be a way for us to determine the suitability of your products on our projects without having to just take you word for it. Otherwise, you are no different than some shop selling on eBay.

Those look sick! I know what I am doing next. Most likely will be doing the license plate light too. Very cool!

Understood, I will update my LED's with the appropriate lumen information. My colored 168 LED's are also in the 50-60 lumen range.

You type in the part number of the bulb in the search bar on top. If nothing comes up send us a message.
