Needs allot of matching bulbs now..... It looks pretty sloppy with all those different colors. I recommend HID's. 4300K's or 6K.

+1. I counted 6 different colors. It hurted my head to do even that, can't imagine if your truck were behind me on the road.

Just looks tacky. It's a GX. Should look classy in my opinion. Playing with lights on cars can get bad really quick. I even have issues with my one fog light that does not work and is an HID convert. I just turn the fogs off.

Thank y'all for your thoughts. I actually want to hear those. To me, all the lights look symmetrical along with the side mirror lights (of course, that's my taste). it really makes my GX stand out of other GXs, as y'all know GX is a very popular vehicle. I still want to keep the classic body of GX. that's why i choose to play with lights and keep body mod to minimum. i do have HID for the low, didn't bother to do the fogs

P.S: I was actually thinking about taking out the top LED strips and put in LED emblem for the logo. We'll see how it turns out in the future.

Ok really bad dirty car I will post better shots later. But I really love the simple clear color of the tails with my clear reflectors on the bottom. Seawell gave me all the parts I needed including the extra bulb replacement. Great buy!

VERY easy install. I would say 3 easy out of 10 if hard.

NEXT! This was also worth the price! Dunno if it would look as good on a white one but it's a nice product. A bit complicated to install though. I would have never done it without help. A 6 easy out of 10 hard.

Also will post better pics when the car is cleaned. Only two more mods to go. I was not done till late so I have no day shot of this.

A tease: I was really surprised by the quality of this tailpipe cover. Wow.


HD/GPS Black box windshield camera might have to wait a little.

Ok I got everything done. Very happy. Changed two HID ballasts as well that were not working properly so my lights are on all the time now haha. What a pet peeve that was.

So car still really dirty. I will post pics of the tailpipe and other stuff when it's not shamefully dirty.

But the HD black box was installed. He even was able to do what I wanted and hide the wires, split the wires and install in the dash rather than using the power plug or lighter plug. Now that I have the software installed I am gonna test out the HD/GPS embedded video later after a drive

Where did you get that and what exactly is it called? I just got a gx470 and it has a small dent right in the center under the grill. That would hide it perfectly.
