I've seen some early GX's with clear 1156's for front turn/DRL -- not sure how I feel about that.

I think the turn signal should be amber so as to not be confused with white headlights or parking lights

Thanks for the link. I'll need to replace my side marker light for the 1st time. I see some people having difficulty replacing it. Just to add, from sylvania web site, there is a installation video that shows how to do it.

I'm replacing the low-beams this weekend.
I swear, the bulbs you buy in the stores are a lower quality than what comes in the car from the factory. These didn't last 2 years.

if you are choosing Higher wattage like the Sylvania’is Ultras....they have less hour life than OEM...the brighter they are, the less service life.

Unless you choose LED option. It is my understanding that upgrades your brightness and service life:

LEDs are a valid choice for the GX because of it's projector lens.
Other, reflector-only designs, just result in glare for oncoming drivers.

I didn't buy LEDs last time because I expected the H11s to last longer. I didn't this time because I had 4 days worth of rain forecast and I needed a new bulb asap so I didn't get a ticket. Oh well.

RockfordRX - Have you tried the LED from the Link you shared? From what i see the drivers side low beam housing is very close to the battery i want to make sure the LED can fit before i go ahead and purchase it.

Please let me know.

thanks.

jbny,
I have not tried the LED conversion yet. This was a recommendation of campfire, one of the members here, so I copied his link: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-...t-upgrade.html

Isn't there a larger thread in Sticky area for bulbs?

I have the XenonDepot HID kit (with their bulbs), had it for 10+ yrs. Just last week driver bulb went pink, and then a few days later died.

Great HID kit.

Lucky for me I had an extra set of Philips HID bulbs.

Crappy part was, driver side marker in headlamp also died, could not see any ez way to get the connector off from engine bay. Figured just leave it alone until I replace the headlamp assemblies, it's getting to be that time (235kmi of roadways, etc).
