Hm? Since when do the LED strips burn out? The only problems that Ive heard are the bubbling issues (which actually isnt a big deal IMO)

And there is a TSB for the bubbling so your dealer should be replacing them

Ive heard a few members on here have problems with the LED burning out, also my best friend has a 250 and his burned out. He took it to Lexus and they wouldent fix it because his car is a 2007 and he bought them aftermarket so they dont cover those haha.

I personally don't like the LED headlights (too busy), so I would say get the wheels for sure.

Wheels first...at least for me. LED headlight doesn't attract me that much.
