I'm using the down firing bulbs (just look better) and they do not flicker. Just reach for the back of the fixture and 1/4 turn the connector to remove the fixture. There is no need to remove the clear lens (2 screws each).

Default Follow up to LED Installation (KOZ)

I will be finishing the exterior bulb replacements and I will take pics of all the replacements (including the domes and running board lights) and post them Sunday. I will also replace the high beams/DRL (9005) with 100w bulbs (with HD wiring for the added wattage).

These are the dome bulbs (6 needed).

These are the running board bulbs (4 needed)

These are the high beam/DRL and HD wiring harness (1 pair)

These are the fog light bulbs (1 pair)

KOZ, I ordered these for the running boards. Are these the 360 degree that you used?

Are these the 360 degree bulbs that you used? Also how difficult is it to replace the interior lights and the fog lights? I would also like to replace the highbeams, but I do not want to stick blue bulbs in there since the new GX does not have these covered with a lense. Are there any that can be purchased that do not have a blue tint to them?

Those are not the (360) ones I used. The first link I posed is the 360's I used (which are different LEDs and brighter). I used a credit card and a small flat tip screwdriver (together) to remove the dome lenses. The credit card was used to protect when prying with the screwdriver. If you look closely at the lenses you will see little tabs on the edge of the lenses. That is where you need to pry. The fogs are a matter of just reaching behind the fixture and a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise (to take out). The DRL/high beam bulbs are not blue when lit; the high beam matches the OEM HIDs perfectly.
