I purchased the interior and exterior LED kits from Sewellparts.com and was a little disappointed initially due to not as bright as I thought they would be and to much blue color. The troubles started within 1 week. LEDs burned out and several constantly have a strobe affect and I don't mean bad connection results I mean it looks like I had a strobe module installed. I see the DYI thread with the link for LEDs and I see several options on carid.com I ask what have you bought and are you satisfied. I would like to make the next replacement my last.FYI the sewell LEDs have an odd flange LED cluster compared to what I have seen on other LEDs and it is easy to disengage the device when pulling it back out. You can use a magnet to get it out. Thanks for any advice. This is my first post and I seem to have the most modified 2011 GX here. I will get some pics out soon..

I replaced every bulb in my truck and my 07 IS (8 years) with vleds and to this day not one bulb has failed. If you search you will find all the bulbs used. I used only 5000 kelvin (pure white - no blue) and they all match perfect.

Unfortunately Vleds has the 2W LEDs I ordered on back order so I will need to put the factory bulbs back in and wait. I have sent 2 requests for a return with no response from Sewell. I have ordered several things from them before with good customer support but apparently they do not want to deal with me with there after market product. I am embarrassed when people see the strobeing effect I have all over my truck. Oh yes after market upgrades can be frustrating. I have custom wheels, grill and duel exhaust and none have gone well.

I installed the flange model from vleds and they are bright but also directional. 4 leds on one side so intensity is directional. No problem with all interior lighting just face them forward. The running board placement is an issue. Intensity is either extreme center or forward and back with a gap in the center. I installed some reflectors but not sure if they will hold up. I installed the same leds for I guess you would call them the running lights (first notch on turning lights on). I like them but not the orange daytime running lights and do not have a need for high beams so I disconnected them. I did experience a directional issue here as well, bright light forward or to the side so I had to adjust both to be bright forward. The previous order was for front firing leds and that would have caused a new set of problems.

Okay, maybe I'm not seeing it, even when I click vehicle specific, it doesn't allow me to identify the vehicle. Unless you're talking about the external link to Sylvannia

Quadro

Yes, it's the external link.

168 for all listed on Sewell application. I do like what I bought on vleds but the directional issue sucks. Even so it is much brighter and white compared.
