Depending on what style you get there are LEDs are are just replacements. Eitherway have a go and if you cant get it right you can always ask us on the forum for help or put everything back together how it was.

7 months on, and the LED dome cluster is starting to die. A couple of the LED's on the board are flickering and after a while turn off, so I think the others will eventually follow suit. Oh well ya get what ya pay for

Hey guys! Im really interested in doing the LED switch in my car! Im not very skilled when it comes to these so i dont really want to have worry about resistors and all that stuff. Just looking for straight swaps! In the link im putting on here is a blue LED that looks like it should be ok for the doors and stuff? Is this correct? Also What one do i need for the Interior dome light? If anyone could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it! Thanks Steve

hey mate have a look at this thread

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=317605

they tell you all you need to know to replace almost all the lights with leds. these are just straight swaps, no soldering or anything required. i bought all my LEDs on ebay. came to about 40 bucks with delivery.

its easy man. pull at the small vinyl dash bit around the ignition. its not held on my much, couple of pulls should pull it out. then u can see the ignition barrel. theres a BIG screw and SMALL screws. undo the big one to get to the light. give the plastic light diffuser a little clean :-)

Hey cheers ali that seems to have worked a charm! All installed, I need to do another order thoe for some white ones for the number plate and also for my parkers! I currently have some standard bulbs in the parkers but they are tinted blue so not to bad! Not yellow but some white LED"S would look even better. Hey did you get the dome light ali? is this the one i need?

Anyone know with the light in the drivers foot well whether or not it should be on all the time, even when the car is off and locked? I swapped it over to an LED as it was dead (still factory i reckon) and when the door is open the LED is nice and bright. But when its off/locked or driven the LED is still on although pretty much no light output. I doubt i would notice once i install the pastics but right now i dont have any of the trim there so the LED is just dangling and i can see whats going on.
