There are two very bright billboards just prior to the Approach Light System for RWY 24R at LAX. They are far brighter than the approach lights themselves; and are both a distraction and a hazard to landing aircraft. The billboards span La Cienega Blvd; and are between Hillcrest and Arbor Vitae streets.Turn the brightness down considerably or remove them. The FAA should have never allowed these hazards so close to a runway.
