I'm not too happy with the temperature, it's too hot for my liking. It's hot enough that putting my finger on the heat sink I had to pull away. Not immediately but hot enough that I can't leave my finger there.
And the light is 360 degree so adjustment won't make any different. I think my driver light aim is a bit too low. Look like I have to remove the headlight again and readjust it's aim height wise. The foreground light is just too much for my liking while the distant light is not enough.

Your solution with the connector you are cutting the car's connector that plug into the Ballast. My solution, I leave that connector. So you see if need be, I just put that ballast back and plug the wiring back into the ballast. I am talking about this connector http://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.club...f746d55731.jpg
the in/out I uses the HID bulb as guide. I assume the HID bulb is placed at the best location. So I just adjust it to be the LED cell to be same location as the tiny HID bubble.
My aim now is good but the LED doesn't cast the light like the HID. The distant light just too weak.

Great information in this thread; thanks guys. I have a quick question; here is a link to a Philips bulb I saw on Amazon...is this same bulb that comes stock in the GS430? I want to be as close to stock as possible ...

Those HID bulbs should be good. I'm going on months with LED fogs/low beams and still very happy. As stated above, they don't have the distance projection, but I have 55watt HID high beams if i need more light. I'm sure my highs are brighter than anything else out there, been running those for a few years now.

LED's inside a projector housing do not throw the light out as well as a standard HID bulb does in my experience. the projector beam just doesn't reflect the light as well as a standard beam. for city driving this is of no matter but if you do a lot of highway driving like i do, this is a big concern

Help
I bought the LEDs for the lows but I've got the hids now. I just bought the car it's a 2007 lexus is250 and I'm having trouble finding the plug in to hook up the LEDs. The hids have a cap that just clicks down on the bulb. Help? I don't know if you went from hids to stock or what I can't find anything online showing me how to change them. And I don't have an extra $200 for the dealership to swap em for me 😂

Going on year and a half or so with LED low beams. I have zero complaints and do not regret the changeout at all. I have not adjusted the fixtures since installing. If extra light is ever required, I do still have my 6 year old 55W HID high beams. Cant beat the light output of that setup.
Keep in mind, these are not quite plug and play. I had to remove the bumper so that i could access/remove the OEM HID ballast. Once removed i used the 12v power supply wires from the ballast to provide power to the led driver. I have some waterproof plugs i crimped into place on those power wires.

that's awesome tunedis! glad I ran across the thread again!
Ever since I replaced my Garax 8000k bulbs, I haven't had a single problem with the ballast/bulbs.
I recommend this bulb to almost anyone I see based off of my personal experience. I believe I'm going on year 5 or 6 now on them lol.... Still hasn't given me a single problem whatsoever.
