No, they are not on, just parking lights are on.

I swapped the bulbs with these:

You will need a relay so you don't have the hyper-flash issue:

Don't think i have any videos of it. Technically speaking in CA having white turn signals(in the rear, front is OK) does not conform to the California Vehicle Code, but it sure looked good. I was never pulled over for it. During bright mid-day its not as visible as a yellow bulb but its "noticable".

@Milonga - I just got my FlashWolves for the reverse LEDs delivered. I'll post some before and after pics once I get up off my lazy butt and plug them in

Was yours packaged like these? I ordered from Amazon because I have free shipping.

Thanks for this post. Upgraded the parking/city, reverse and fogs in my new-to-me 07 GS350 last week with LEDs from Xenon Depot using your info.

I changed mines out all white in the front. 6000k. All lights off eBay. LED reversal lights as well. Only thing left for me really is DRLs and I want to add substantial lighting to my trunk area as I use it allot. GodBless everyone!

This is a great topic ! i just bought the backup leds for my 2007 GS350 , and i got confused with the park light VS Daytime Running Lights since i hate the yellow Daylight in the morning and i want to change it but now i understood there is parking lights also ? so the parklight work when Headlight is on while DRLs work when its off ?

Thank you

You are correct, the DRL working during the day and turn off when you turn your low beams on while the Parking Light turns on when you turn your accessory lights on or the low beams.

We don't sell the 360 style bulbs anymore because we found them to be too long, and in some case the individual diodes burn out. The Xtreme LED mini replacement bulbs fit better, are brighter, and produce a better beam pattern.
