Hey guys..which one would be the same light output as the ones on the new Lexus cars. Not sure what kind it is, but it looks real nice.

I have the V-LEDs High Power whites in license plate, map light, door light, clearance strip, reverse and corners... They look SICK. I would highly recommend them. I purchased all these lights for under $100 and they always arrived within a week.

And like everyone said: 168 is the same as 194.

Ok, well i went to go check my license plate bulb and I thought there was 2 bulbs? It seems that my 04 g35x is just 1 bulb inside this rectangular piece. Does this just snap out? What is the removal on this please. so i only need to buy 1 bulb?

there are two rect. pieces in your tail light. There is a small clip on each you need to pull to unclip the rect piece and change the light. Im off to work now but do a search and you can find instructions. Else ill post when im back home and take a screenshot off the service manual.

no no, I think he meant your license plate light. 03/04 have 1. (05/06 have 2) right above the license plate you should see a plastic case with a tab on it. push the tab in and it swing open. that will expose the bulb, then you just swap it out and push the plastic case back up and make sure the tab is secured

The license bulb removal instructions are also stated (in picture form) in your owner's manual.
