Default Fog Lights for 2013 GS350

Hello all,

...I have a quick question if you all don't mind...

I have this GS350 and I don't know why Lexus did this...but for 2013, all of the GS' didn't come with LED fog lights, integrated parking sensors in the bumpers, and power folding mirrors...and then in 2014 they fixed all of that. Haha!

But I am thinking about changing the fog lights from the factory halogen lights to LED's...does anyone know if that's possible?

Also, will it be expensive to change the lights...and will they be plug and play...?

Thanks in advance, everyone!

See my thread here:

I've been using these for years and they have been great. Match the headlights perfectly. Reasonable pricing.

Its definitely possible. I usually recommend VLEDS (www.vleds.com) as they make some very high quality, plug and play H11 LED bulbs for the fogs. They are pricey though.

iJDMToy also makes some great quality H11 bulbs at a competitive price.

I have the VLEDs also but is it just me or is the cut off/usable light terrible? Haven't used them much because I feel like they just blind oncoming traffic.

If you are looking for an OEM appearance to match your factory headlights, our Luxeon housings are a great replacement, LUXEON LED Fog Lamps (Type B)

We also have plug and play LED options available as well. 5000K should match the OEM setup nicely.

Couldn't agree more, just swapping out the OE for a VLED is more of an aesthetics versus functionality mod. When driving you can barely tell if they are on or off but from head on it looks SO much better because the color matches the headlight. If I had to do it all over again - I would.

I second this. I swapped my OEM halogen for the 2014+ OEM LED and they are plug and play (maybe 15 min each side to swap); color and cutoff are spot on. I think I paid $275ish on ebay for factory parts.

I had an older version of the VLED H11 Fog bulb and the usable light is poor - i figured the newer bulbs have a higher lumen output and would be better. But the quality is certainly there as they've held up in the grind of NY streets/seasons. I went a completely different route as I'm using PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow halogen bulbs for my fogs and i'm very pleased.
