Default New member/New ride/New mods!!!

Forgive the pics as they were taken at night on my iPhone. After the wife and I added twins to our already 2 children, I had to trade in my BMW. So, after picking out a nice GX470 I have worked the past few weeks to make it my own. So far I have done the following: DMS Tuning HID kit, DMS Tuning LED daytime running light bar, Sony Navigation unit with bluetooth, Satellite radio, backup camera, DVD, etc, and finally window tint. Wheels are next along with interior LEDs. Hopefully you guys like the results.

Welcome to CL! Enjoy your new GX.

How did you connect the LED daytime running light bar to existing wiring?

Welcome, looks like Titianum Silver, hard to tell in the dark. This is the link, which has the specs and a downloadable brochure on your car, if you choose.

Are your wheels pitted, or just want to change wheels?

Looks good.

If it were my GX id rewire the LED DRL to replace the amber blinker / DRLs as the full time running DRLs. Looks weird having both as DRLs. But if youre happy thats all that matters.
