Great tutorial! You've motivated me to use Plastidip on the mesh part of my grille. I like the look but there is just too much shine going on. I had thought of painting it matte black but this product far more forgiving to use not to mention wildly inexpensive.
This pic is in the shade so it looks darker than it is. It is pretty sparkly in the sunshine.

Finally got around to taking some pix of interior lights, etc... Much brighter and clearer - No more yellow!
ALL LIGHTS SWAPPED WITH 6000K V-LEDS
Also got the Lexus Trunk Liner - very happy with it.

jOemama, great job changing out everything. It's funny how much of a difference a little bulb, or two, or three, can make. Which reminds me, I have some to change out. V-LEDS LED bulbs came in yesterday for the fog lights.

What # bulb did you get and how much? I wanna change my fog lights to match as close as possible to the Bi xenon headlights.

Looks great! How much did all those bulbs cost and what did you use for your puddle lights? Those are very bright!

Sevn, I went with the 5K bulbs from V-LEDS. I found a 15% coupon off to defray the cost a little. Another member put them in and he said they matched the bi-xenons. I envy the RX350 folks who can reach in from the top of the engine to change them out. I have to go underneath the engine and remove/move a few panels, hence why they're not in yet. Gotta prep myself for this job. It's not fun.

I did a Google search and found this on V-LEDS Facebook site. The coupons are only valid through today. Add in the puddle lamps and some interior bulbs and you can easily reach $100 for the 20% discount. Shipping is pretty fast. I ordered on Tuesday evening and they came in Saturday via USPS.

Look in the marketplace vendor forum -- stickies at the top and other postings. Not sure if there are any for the LEDs you are looking for, but that's the place to look for CL sponsors.
