Here is a photo that shows the 6K v-LED light in the door with the Putco running board lights.

Seems to have very similar color. I like the illuminating Lexus door seal. Looks good!!!

The yellow looked really out of place.

Once you get your bulbs you can install the running board first, but my guess is you won't want to keep the yellow light in the door.

Can you post a photo with your front door open like the picture I posted?

Also, why are these not being used with led drivers (i assume thats why they are burning out)? I have a set of philips led drl's and they come with led drivers.

I assume you have drivers for your DRL since they run at a lower power and the driver is needed to provide a full power. V-leds sell something similar.

Philips makes drls using their luxeon leds (yes they make the leds). Cree also makes leds. These are the main manufacturers for leds that i know of.
Here is link to philips - this is kit i have

this was bot for my 4runner which i thought was buying but then decided on the gx. If gx has separate drls, you could splice wire and connect these babies to it. (are the drls the high beam on low power?)

If you are interested in led drls, hella also makes some cool ones. The cheapies on ebay suck imho
