hey what do you guys think of these lights for the side markers? since our bulbs dont shine straight out towards the side, these seem to be good since they face to the side and shine the light straight outward:

Jawwaad 05 I had the exact same idea in mind. I've tried looking for replacement bulbs for the lexus and looking at the stock wiring but I have had no luck. At least you know they were hyper whites. Either way I'll find some way to put them on my car. I have an 02.

naw for my Sidemarkers i did Autolumination White LED's. i can almost guaranteed you'll love them, ive had them for like 8 months, and THEY LOOK THE SAME WAY SINCE DAY ONE.
I have not been pulled over for these at all, before i had blue LED's in the side markers in all four corners. But since installing these, i draw no attention from the police
take a look, get a set and have fun, they are the
"5 LED WEDGE MATRIX LED BULB" They are the
third down from the top...http://autolumination.com/194.htm

ill take a couple pics and send em to you right now... Its dark outside so it should look ok, IMO they are pure white with a slight hint of blue because they look so bright

here is a pic with no flash, fully shot of car...if you notice they have a slight bluish tint to them:
Here is a pic of the rear sidemarker on the passenger side:
and this last pic is a picture of the driver side rear sidemarker, if you look at the light being thrown on the ground it is the silhouette coming from my tag lights....which are roughly the EXACT same color as the sidemarkers:
SORRY FOR THE LARGE PICS, TINYPIC.COM was the QUICKEST upload site without me having to resize them because i accidently left my CAMERA on 3MP shots

I went back to the all white PIAA LEDS, but they arent bright enough for me, so i just ordered some of those bright LED's from frickinbrite.com

Have these on my car for a while now. Finally had a chance to take pics of the leds I have in my License plate and courtesy lights. I made these to fit perfectly into the 168 or 194 bulb socket. The LEDs i used are 5mm 55,000 mcd.
I used two leds for each:
Here it is in the license plate:
Here it is in the courtesy light:
These are just some of the pics...i have more.

Haven't tried the LEDs that I made in the sidemarkers. They should fit with no problems. I'm sure they would be pretty bright and white like the plate and courtesy lights I have.
