Default Where to purchase LED headlights

Hey, I currently have hid headlights and foglights for my 2008 gx470. Ive been looking for led headlights that give off that white light but have had little luck. Does anybody know where I could purchase them? Thanks.

If you want that "white" light, just get HID bulbs with 5k temp. That's what they use for OEM application that looks white but projects natural looking light onto the road.

Or even 4300K, a bit further towards the yellow end of the spectrum, but more useable lumen output. That's what I went with, and I love them.

The size would be H11 for your low beams

I currently have 5k HID for my low beams and fog lights. Was under the impression that LED tend to give off better light. Thanks for the replies.

LED's not necessarily "better" in any terms. It's just another option, a less expensive option than HID. I can talk all the science behind it, but too tired. Lol

We sell both HID's and LED's. The HID's are up to 3 times brighter than a halogen. Our LED kits are about twice as bright. If you want the most light, I'd still recommend HID. The 5000K color would be a nice white color without any yellow or blue in it.

LEDs are better than the halogen bulbs, but HID is a lot better.
