Don't get the PIAA bulbs w/ 1 white and 1 blue LED...I got pulled over twice for those. I had to switch them out for the PIAA w/ 2 white LEDs.

you can fit 921's though. i have.. though the right side i had to argue with 50 times, because the bulb kept popping out into the headlight

that was the fault of the socket/headlight and the way they wouldn't line up though

white LEDs are fine. no rules about a "white" bulb being off white.

you get into trouble if its a white/blue piaa. have to be sure its white/white.

The Lexus license plate lights are LEDs permanently mounted on to a circuit board and not replaceable/removable (at least not easily. I've got an '06 GS430 and was bored one day and tried to take them out) They are white with a blueish tint, same as all of the interior lights. I bought a set of super-white LEDs from superbrightleds.com for my Z and the color is very close to the Lexus LEDs.
