I believe I read that here too.

I changed the bulbs on my '13 GS to 5K LEDs from VLEDS for $55.I feel the look is better for reasons above but that's me.

They sure look like the ones I saw, but much cheaper. The housing is still round, but the lense/reflector appears to be squared off.

Let me know what you decide to do.

Didn't they have an upgraded version that puts out more lumens, albeit at 2-3 times the cost?

I don't know.
When it comes to the fogs,it's an aesthetic thing for me.If I need more lighting,I'll put on
the brights.
I don't think the oem LEDs will make that much of a difference.

I guess I'm asking much if I want both. The VLEDs at 55 is enticing though for just the look. Too bad we can't have the fogs and DL LEDs on for daytime driving, like the Prius.

Seems VLEDS keeps raising their prices often.

I just notice they weren't an exact match to the H11. It has a dust cap and extension for the plug, and a couple of disclaimers not to used with headlights with dust caps nor in low voltage DRLs

Did you install them yourself ? did you have to lift the front end to gain access to the fog lights ? was it as simple as just switching the bulbs ?

I'll repeat, the stock white LED fogs on an ES300h are useless when there's fog, especially at night. Yellowish super-bright JDM fogs look a lot better and would actually be useful in foggy weather.
