Hi, actually I dont't like the clear bra and prefer the hood deflector. Do you know where I can get it for 2nd gen GX 460?
Thank you

Anyone had any luck adding the lower brushed aluminum front "lip" piece that comes on the 2017 Sport editions on a non Sport or previous year model?

Also, has anyone seen an aftermarket replacement for the lower mesh/honeycomb part of the front grill? Would like to figure out a way to have the horizontal lines of the upper portion of the grill extend to the bottom like on the new 570 n

Anyone interested in changing your signal to LED. Here is the link of the lights I just changed all 4 on my 16. No hyper flashing, brightest signal ever seen in the market right now. It is plug and play.

Using Techstream, turned on windows/moonroof fully open when holding down unlock for 3 sec. Ready for any heatwave now.

The LED bulb conversion (5000K) is awesome.

do you mind providing a link to the bulbs you got? Are these direct replacement to what's on the car? Thanks in advance.

I cannot seem to find the bulbs any longer. They are Sylvania 5000K units and were about $9-12 each.

Apparently the ones I have are no longer available. I installed the Sylvania bulbs for the running boards and the front dome lights. The others were some non-named bulbs I had purchased many months ago from eBay.

Try the Sylvania bulbs if you can find them, they are GREAT and I have been using them for more than two years without any problems.

This looks to be the current replacement:

Can anyone tell me what's the reason for getting Vleds over Philips or Yorkim or Sylvania? Seems like Yorkim LEDs are a lot cheaper than Philips or Sylvania or Vleds. I was all set to get Philips for $6.50 each when I found the Yorkim for like $1.00 each!
