I had a set of PIAA 1100 more than 10 years ago and still remember how bright these were. I had them on my Runner and even big SUV got blinded by these lights. I only had them on when I was in dark zone and noone was near me.
For the GS, esp with the self adjustable HIDs on luxury model, unless you live in a foggy area, fog lights are more for look IMO. It may give you a little more light but really insignificant compared to the self adjustable HID. I'm very happy with the VLEDs. Every evening when leaving the office, I drive through and into some stores with glass front. It always puts a on my face when I look into the glass. I too prefer complete fill vs the rectangular. But I guess fashion is what that is different. Or people say whatever floats your boat.
For those who want to know how the VLEDs look, here is a shot I took the other evening.
