- I finally got tired of the old orange gauges in my is300 and decided to change it up a bit. Changing the color is super easy and as simple as swapping some bulbs in the combination meter out for some colored led's!

i love everybodys stories about how they fell in love with the is300 and eventually got one. i was working at park place lexus in 2001 as a service porter. when these things rolled fresh off the line i was drooling. parking customers is300 was a dream and was determined to get one one day. the time and money aligned in 2013 when i bought my 1 owner 2002 silver IS. she sits well loved in the garage as i type this! best realistic dream car there ever was!
I must be the old guy, I love the factory orange. I even got my boost and afr gauges to illuminate orange to match 🤣 Great video tho my man!
I can't knock it, it's a vibe. And the fact you went to the extra lengths to make everything match just completes it! Appreciate you bro! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love the orange, I would never change it personally but I get why some people might want a brighter setup..
I like both but i think the white is more in tune with the times
@@Tweaked818 it really is, white makes everything in the car look cleaner
Same to be honest, and I also find the orange to be easier on the eyes when driving at night than the bright blue light.
I did white also and really does make it look like a newer interior
Such a huge difference honestly
Great video...watching your videos is giving me the conficence that I can do changes to my is300 SportCross! Keep up the great videos and the great advice in each of your videos.
Glad the videos are helping! Honestly there is a lot of really basic stuff you can do to make these things cool, makes them super fun to have!
Dude you gotta swap out the trac control (T4 bulb), ect power(T3), gear shift(T5 74-24), and cigarette lighter ring(T5 74-24)! I took the ashtray chord out and spliced it into cigarette lighter ring. Also doing your turn signals and any other dash indicator blue or pink whatever color you want adds a dope touch (T5 74-24).
I have a question, I recently did my whole dash lights, my CEL and my signals lights don’t turn on? Is it programmed to the vehicle or do I need to turn over the lights
Haven’t even seen 2 min of it and love it keep it up bro🔥🔥
Thanks man means a lot! 🥺
Yo you just gained a subscriber just with that intro alone ! Keep em coming pop ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Appreciate it, bro!! Got lot's more coming! 😎
Hey man I just subscribed I’ve been watching your videos little by little, I think the bright whites definitely make the car feel newer. I’ll be getting these soon if they’re still doing well for you. Thanks for pumping out all these useful videos for the 1is platform, I’ve had my 05 for almost 2 weeks now
Still haven't had any problems with them! 🤘🏼 thanks for watching bro!
this is a sick and very simple mod, thanks for the video! i really like the end result with the gauge cluster! i would probably do white gauge cluster, blue nob controls and then get an orange for the LCD clock to match the original but still look better.
The OEM amber bulbs rock. Keepin mine stock! The white looks pretty nice tho. Good job.
Keeping em till the go out then I’ll do some other color 💪🏾
mannn remembers them old days of the is good shit bro kee up the grind and I promise is worth it💙🔥
Gotta remember where you came from bro! I appreciate you man! 🤘🏼
i like the white but the white+blue looked pretty cool
Looks very similar to how I have mine. Nice upgrade!
Yup! Just didn't do the turn signals, still kind of wondering what color I want for those 🤔
@@RotaryDaddy lots of options, I like the idea of white because of the silver car, but I know you'll make a solid choice.
@@RotaryDaddy for some reason I didn't even consider I could change those.... Getting new lights rn I think I'ma make those blue
@@yesca6893 how do you like the blue? I'm torn between white and blue.
I'ma change mine to white. I think it looks extremely clean!
I did this same mod on my IS200 changed all the lights to blue and now I think I would like to change to white thanks for sharing
Hella tasty looking! There's another lil light for the key slot as well if you wanna spiff that up
Aaaaahhh I totally forgot that one! Thanks bro!
Ima get the white ones for sure. I appreatiate you making this video, makes the decision a lot easier.
Hell yeah bro! Glad it helped out! Thanks for watching 🙌
Looks good man! 💯
I'm stoked, it's wild how big of a difference it makes lol
Def copping, sick vid bro
Yeah they make a huge difference! Thanks for watching man!
What size rims are those? I don’t knew what size rims to get and yours looks like a perfect size. Not to big or not to small .
can you tell me the bulb required? T5 T7 or T10
what brightness bulbs are your headlights? They look good
They are some very cheap bulbs from amazon, video coming soon 🤘🏼
Maaaaaan, I’ve done this last year. I got the agua blue lights, changed them out without an issue. Last week I decided to change them to white LED’s. The gauge cluster was a success. I then went to the climate control and changed them. Once I turned on the lights, they came on for less than a second and all my gauge cluster, climate control LED’s, and seat warmers turned off. I checked the gauge fuse on the driver side kick panel. It’s good. Do you have some advice for me? I was just thinking of ordering a new dimmer switch and climate control, but I don’t want to waste 80$ and that might not fix my problem
Just spotted this video and thought I'd just comment about how some colors will screw up your night vision. Red and green preserve it the best, blue is slightly better than white. Literally why Saabs have a "night panel" model where every other dash light turns off besides I think the speedo, which is green.
Where you get that body kit looks nice
Just bought an IS300 tonight and immediately got these LEDs. What stereo/screen you got?
That's pretty much the cheapest double din I could find on amazon. Honestly don't recommend it if you can afford anything better but here's the link in case! amzn.to/3ekph4u
Yo I seen you got a after market radio did you have to use an amp bypass?
Nope I have an adapter to use the factory amp. This video explains the entire setup! th-cam.com/video/aFxGKcwiap0/w-d-xo.html
hey thank you for this video. ill be checking a is300 manual today it makes me excited. but its a salvage/rebuilt title idk if its a good deal or not
Love it😍 have you had them in for a while? Do they last or do you have to change them all the time?
I've had them for a few weeks and no issues yet! I'll keep you guys updated if they do go out 🤘🏼
As they are LED you shouldn't ever have to replace them
the picture of the silver Lexus with the blue leds in headlights for your video, the title image of whatever before you click the video- are those blue leds in the headlights aftermarket? i know the blue is, but did u have to drill the lamps to put those lights in?
Stock headlight housings have small bulbs in them that illuminate the housings. I literally just swapped the stock ones for Amazon led bulbs 🤘🏼
I used the link for the bulbs you used and they don't sit all the way in the bulb seat, did you have this problem too or maybe they just sit loose?
I just tried installing mine and they are loose and my lights also do not turn on
i have this issue too and i bought different ones. i don’t know why it won’t click in
What led bulbs are those
Where do you think I can get an extra of those yasaki black plastic things for the light? I bought my Is 300 a year ago and I always those it was a fuse that was out but now Ima seeing it was a light bulb lol. If anyone can help thank you.
I did this couple months ago with red l🔥🔥
Was definitely looking at red too, all the colors just look so good 😪
@@RotaryDaddy I agree couldn't make up my mind but luckily for us it's a pretty easy to swap the bulbs
Colour looks nice, but the brightness is way too high for a cabin. Exterior of the car looks smart too fella. Do you get any issues with authorities in regards to the headlamps? they look very blue...
Hey I just got an 01 auburn sky pearl I saw on one forum somebody said they only made about 1400 in that color? I've been looking and looking and I cannot find any info about sales numbers relating to color or package options. Can any other is owners verify this or point me in the right direction? If it's true I think mine might be pretty rare it's in great shape 111k miles
Looks nice 👍🏾
Thanks bro! 🤘🏼
Just did my cluster and climate control lights also, But.. What game was that 😳 👀
The og need for speed most wanted! One of my favorite nfs games!
Great great video! Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
What size bulbs are in the AC controls and clock?
wondering aswell
@@asdasd-om8tj AC controls=T4 Type B neowedge. Clock=T3 Type A neowedge.
@@asdasd-om8tj Bonus, Trac off button light is type B.
@@testrak legend! tysm i was totally lost
I do like the oem color but will not deny the white is clean on the guages I'd leave the dash orange
id probably try blue sides and white middle
I tried both ways off camera but there was too much light bleeding through to the other gauges to make it look intentional. I'll have to figure something else out... 🤔
Game changer
What coolant do you put in the is300?
I personally use a mix of toyota red coolant and distilled water!
Always distilled water, never tap water. Love those LED headlights.
What bulbs are those? I like that tone of color and brightness
Anyway to change the light around the ignition?
Yup! There's a bulb just like these but I'm not sure what the part number is for it
@@RotaryDaddy alright, thanks I'll just pull it out and look it up then
Bro is the stereo connected to the speakers in standard mode or network mode ?
Stereo feeds speaker level signals to converter, that feeds the amp low level signal then the amp sends speaker signals to the speakers, it's a little weird but without bypassing factory amp this is the only way to do it
white looks better imo, it looks factory, the blue just looks cheesy
Totally agree, but the camera doesn't really show how bright they were. It'd be too much to drive at night with it tbh
sweet man
Excuse me, the color card number of your car?
1c0 millennium silver metallic!
@@RotaryDaddy My car is is200 and also silver, I have been looking for the color I want, you helped me solve the problem, thank you
What headlights U got on bro
You talking bulbs or housings? My housings are both factory, one has the reflectors painted black the other is a stock chromey. The bulbs are all the cheapest bulbs I could find on amazon lol
Don't they have color-changing led bulbs? So just set it with your mood
Would be cool but I haven't found any rgb kits that are not completely custom
Guys, am I a lazy is300 owner 😂
I decided to buy orange LEDs for the under carriage and painted my calipers orange to match the lighting lol
🤙🏼
they aren’t scammer right cause they are asking for my phone number did they also ask you
I don't remember being asked for a phone number...
I’m sorry, this is a really bad mod. The factory orange/amber lighting is both beautiful, and it preserves night vision. This just looks cheap and trashy.
No Xbox just Atari
Oem better 💯
Look so bad sory😐
