Thanks to everyone here who spent the time to do all the research and posting to show us how to install the lights. You made it a lot faster and easier for me to change out the lights in my wifes GX. And it looks great....

disassemble Front Center Cupholder on 2010 GX460
You had very nice posts.
Do you know how to disassemble Front Center Cupholder on 2010 GX460?
I have some stuff (credit card and other thin stuff) dropped into cupholder (underneath cupholder lid). Dealer said take at least $200+ for the job. Great appreciated if anybody here can show some pictures. Thanks advance.

1.) Engage hand break (actually kick it in with your foot).
2.) Shift the car to N and turn off the engine. Necessary as you will not be able to remove center console with the truck in P.
3.) Remove shift **** (unscrew it) - may take initial force
4.) remove sides to your center console (leather pieces on each side). There are no screws, those just pop in. start from rear toward the front.
5.) Lift up from rear the whole center console (by the storage compartmnt between front seats)
6.) while lifting up the center console, pull the console toward rear of the truck. It hooks in front. When putting back, you will need to push in first before droping the center console down.
7.) Unplug all the cables to switches, etc and you have center console out and you should be able to get everything out without any problem.
The whole process takes no more than 10 minutes and I don't remember using any tools to remove it.

disassemble Front Center Cupholder on 2010 GX460
Lexus dealer told me a technician will need 1 and half hours for this (it would be $200 at least, right?) and I got help from Luke27617, I did in 2 minutes.

Does anybody know the wattage of the OEM H11 Fog light bulbs? I'm debabting between the LED's posted in this thread and PIAA bulbs. I'm afraid the PIAA bulbs may get too hot and melt the plastic lens.

Assuming you are not looking to get an HID Kit (this will get you the most light output), I would suggest looking at the H11 Osram Night Breaker Plus bulbs. They are rated at the same wattage as your stock bulbs and will provide you with more light output than your stock bulbs. They will also have a slightly crisper color output than your stock bulbs. Here is a pretty cool video that one of our customers put together showing the difference between his stock 9005 high beam bulbs and 9005 Osram Night breaker plus bulbs:

Are there any heat issues with the fog light bulbs in the OEM housing? I have upgraded H11 bulbs in other vehicles and ended up heating up the plastic reflector and melting it. The OEM bulbs were a low wattage, I replaced them with a 60W bulb and had the issue.

Are you asking about HID or these halogen bulbs? In both cases though, you will not have any issues with overheating the housings as our HID Kits will not burn hotter than your stock h11 bulbs and these Osram bulbs are rated at the same wattage so they will also not burn any hotter.
