LED Bulb Swap Write-up for Puddle Lamps!

[Cyberformula]

Backup light is super easy. The access panels are right behind on the inside of the rear hatch. Just pop out the outer two panels (the squares) and you'll see the reverse lights inside. Just twist counterclockwise and the bulb + harness should be loose enough to pull out.

The inner two panels are for accessing the license plate lights on the inside of the rear hatch.

Thank you very much. Cant wait to get this done.

I wanted to post this here also it was on the similar thread on club lexus

So the lights are sweet got them from Tony. Left the puddle lights for last and i would say it's kinda tough. I shattered my mirror. Sucks i'm sure this will be expensive to fix. --- So found the part 87961 8796176040 MIRROR OUTER, (LH - LEFT / DRIVER SIDE) 01 Ships 24-48 hrs $98.10 $81.59 $58.86 not to bad on price kinda makes me want to try the other and just order 2 if i fail again. -- So i went out to try the 2nd one because at this point who cares. Well it came off so easy i couldn't believe it. Switched it out no problem. Not sure why the first was so difficult. So now it's on to ordering the part after i stop at the dealer to see if they have it in stock. Hope this helps everyone.

Just got back from the Lexus dealer they would not cover under warranty. No surprise there. They did however give me a deal on the part at $80 better than waiting a week to save 10 bucks after shipping. It looked to me like there was much more of the white glue stuff on the on that broke. I think that might have been the issue but proving that is a manufacturing issue is pretty much impossible.

Anyways likes looks sweet and car is all back together.

hey sup that's a great post and i oreder all the lights listed above. I have couple of questions though. First question is about your LED headlight line it looks on the picture that is hyper white in its color, mine is kind of yellow and since i've installed 8K HID headlights and foglightst they dont really match. Did upgrade those or they came stock like that? Second question would be about the side mirrow turn lights. I would to make them bright light in its color do i have to replace the whole stripe? is it available for sale anywhere? And my last question is kind of unrelated to Exterior/Interior lights but i decided to post it anyways to see if anybody know or changed the base/navigation model audio speakers in the car. I've noticed that those 6 speakers suck. What i'm trying to do is first of all find out the sizes for the speakers and to see if anybody could recommend nice quality speakers that wont kill ones budget. Please also note that i'm not trying to go extreme on the audio system no amplifier nor kicker subwoofers, just a nice system that would output a nice sound. Thats all Anyways thanks a lot in advance, i cant wait for replies

Hey Matt, are the reverse light LED's you went with brighter and easier to see when backing up? I've never like the quality of light for backing up in most cars and if the LED panel here really lights up the back better, I might swap these out too.

Thanks man.

Received my bulbs from Tony @ Luxurymods last week.

Installation was quite straight forward and it was quite easy to dis-assemble the mirrors to get to the puddle bulbs. I did have a few anxious moments re-assembling the mirrors in trying to get the plastic casing to snap together properly but after a bit of perseverence it all came together well.

What bulb is being used for the reversing lamp? By the way, there's only meant to be one reversing lamp isn't there?
