Ok yes your bulb holders are the same as mine.

As Gord said the green/black wire is earth so connect to the existing White/black. The white I discovered is for the fog/ brake (25w filament) so this connects to your existing green/orange wire and the black is for the tail light (5w filament) so connect to the Green wire of the feed to the number plate light.

I got the black and White wires connected the wrong way round and had all fogs and brake lights on with rear lights!! All ok now though.

As mentioned previously, I took the car for a paint treatment/enhancement on sunday and picked it back up yesterday. I was holding off posting till I could get some of the pics the detailer (Robert) took with the 50/50 shots and the like, but I have some now, so here we go:

Car on arrival at Robert's:

Looks clean but here are some closeups:

Bad scuff on the rear passenger door:
[Image: lexus4.jpg]

Wash and detox session:
[Image: lexus6.jpg]
Degreaser solution all over:
[Image: lexus5.jpg]

After washing, you can see a lot of the swirls/scratches a bit more clearly:

Halogens showing up some of the problems:

Here's a closeup:

Here's some of the 50/50 shots (before refinement or wax):

The obligatory "action shot":

Looks better than when it was new now dave, bet you are well happy.
Without being nosey and you do not have to say, but what does a correction like that cost?
50/50 shots are amazing, you really do not realise how much your paint deteriorates over time.
