LED backup and parking lights.
Hello GS owners,
I thought I let you all know about my experience with this LED that I install today for backup and parking lights. I got them both from Amazon. Unfortunately while I was looking here in the forum, really liked ones from @xenondepot for parking but they don't sell 360 LEDs for parking lights anymore, Amazon's link at the end. First, backup:
On the left you can see the led and on the left the OEM halogen.
Here are both LEDs on, they are 360.
Now here are the parking lights:
As you can see the difference from OEM halogen.
It got a bit darker so it looks a bit better. Again, these are 360 LEDs.
Here is a picture with all lights one... I have LEDs installed on my fogs, and I will be changing both HIDs to match color since they actually don't.
Here is the link for the lights for anyone that is interested. I put reminders on my Google Calendar one for 6 months and another one for a year and I will come back unless something happens to one of the lights before and I will let you guys know how have they been so far during that time, so you guys will see me back here posting an update.

I hope you guys found this helpful as I was wanted to change my light for a long time and as I was looking at the lights that people have to use here before, they're either from Japan, from places like xenondepot, but they don't sell them anymore, so here you have a options.
P. S. Don't mind my dirty car, washing it tomorrow.

Milonga,
Would you be so kind to provide brief write up or point to threads on how to replace those bulbs?
I bought GS350 few weeks ago for my son and didn't have time to learn ins and outs of the car.
Thanks.
PS
What LEDs do you have in your fog lights?

There's a plastic blade on the top side of the DRL/High beams twist that, and the bulb is attached to the end of it. Pretty easy to change out. nearly all of my bulbs are LED now. Not sure if I'm going to do the HID low beams.

Hope they help, any questions feel free to ask.

My question is about the high beam functionality after the swap out.
Will you lose your high beams with the new lights? Also, what type of voltage are these lights getting as DRLs? The stock halogens get half the voltage
as DRL which turns them yellow/orange. Yours appear to get full voltage for maximum brightness.

Thanks, and just so I'm clear. The front lights you replaced were your DRLs correct? I want to get rid of the orange DRL but I always thought the lights were orange because of the low voltage when in DRL mode.

This are the ones I have: https://www.google.com.do/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.com/JLM-NPLED-C2-H11-6K-Headlight-Conversion-Rainproof/dp/B01CCNNYM8&ved=0ahUKEwjhkN3v7fzUAhXBQSYKHdQqAlcQFghIMAs&usg=AFQjCNFJO6jOoPoz_-nfOy5fFojbd7-h2w
I got them in Dominican Republic (moved here) and so far have been pretty good, had them for about a month. Will update you on how they are in a few months, before if any happens but I got a 1 yr warranty from the place I got them from.

No, I did not swapped my DRLs, I swapped my parking/city lights. The DRLs are the high beams but at lower power. DRL/high beams are 9005 while parking are 168/194.
