Craig, congrats and let us know your thoughts and findings once you get it.
Okay Chris, Tom sent me a text that my wheels will be in Weds. and it should be ready for pick up Thursday afternoon. It will drive the same, but I'm curious how bright the LED headlights will be at night. I should have taken a picture of them when I was there last week with my LS 460. I've been there twice in the last two weeks with my LS 460, they had to order an inside door panel for my drivers door.

I can't imagine the LED headlights would be any different than HIDs. My old school LED lights on my LS600 to me look just as bright at night as my old LS460 and they are supposed to be less bright.

Just curious, what happened to the inside door panel on your LS?

The panel became sticky to the touch. It was really tacky near the window controls. The LED's looked bright inside their garage. When the LS would sit in the sun, the door panel became very sticky. The dealer said they've never seen that before.

i saw 2 new corollas tonite. HID leds look nice. very blue, not a lot change in color with angle like HIDs and look a tad brighter. very impressed. GX also has 2 leds on each side vs 1 on each side of corolla, so should look 2x brightness

Yes I noticed that as well that the GX has 4 (2ea side) LED's for low beam along with the LED fogs, should make for very nice light. Cant wait for someone to get us some night shots and the color/cutoffs these LED's have !!

I just got it home and it's raining, I took a few pictures in the delivery bay. I will post them soon.
I'm going to wash it and put it in the garage. I will post some pictures when I get done. The chrome wheels look great in my opinion.
