I do like the look, and I do like the output but all in all the PIAA halogens were brighter at night. I did not like the yellowish color of them and that's why I wanted the LED's. I was not looking for only color and luxurious "Look", I wanted a brighter bulb as I do a lot of night driving in the country with a lot of deer who like to run out on front of me so light output is more important to me than light look.
You gotta admit that operating 20W lesser on 2 tiny chip on boards that they are still bright. Be sure you aligned the COB LEDs correctly to maximize the full light projection inside the reflective headlight housing.
Have you thought about changing the stock headlights and fog lights to enhance your
night time cross country driving?
I would recommend 5000K D4S for your head lights & 5-6K H11 HID kit with ballasts for your fog lights. You can also adjust the fog lights housing to aim the light projection a little farther. Because the fog light lens doesn't project the light very far, the Fog HID kit will blend the light with the headlights for a brighter visibility.

Your PIAA halogen bulbs are 60W compared to the COB LEDs at 40W so they might be slightly brighter bc of the yellowish color.

I have already changed my headlights to the Phillips 5K D4S and my fogs to 5K HID's but I have not tried changing the aiming of the fogs, I'll look in to that over the weekend maybe.
I've run bull / push bars in the past and I just don't like the look on the GX.
Thanks

@Eppieguy : More lumens does not always translate to brighter/better for several reasons:
(1) If the bulb is not designed properly, or the light is not going where it needs to go then having more lumens just causes more glare.
(2) You're assuming that every vendor accurately rates how many lumens the bulbs put out.
XenonDepot LED headlight bulbs are not going to be the "brightest" LED headlight bulbs available in the market. The goal was to offer customers an LED headlight bulb that provided more lumens then stock, WITHOUT the use of an external fan (that will fail), or a massive heatsink on the back which can cause fitment problems in some vehicles.

They are a nice bulb, no doubt, work well but you know what I'm trying to accomplish. Until a brighter, higher lumen bulb comes out they will stay.
I have already changed my headlights to the Phillips 5K D4S and my fogs to 5K HID's but I have not tried changing the aiming of the fogs, I'll look in to that over the weekend maybe.

The fog lights are easy to remove- just one screw on the top corner. Once taken off, there is a screw underneath for the adjustment. Use a white wall or your garage door to aim your fog lights.

Same price and the option for high beam output if needed

I ordered these from XenonDepot and they came in quick....
These are the ones I got for 2016 GX 460
http://www.xenondepot.com/H9-LED-hea.../h9-led-hl.htm
Definitely looks nicer...didn't notice any flickering and now the High beam lights match rest of the lights.
