Thanks Tecman, i just pop out the dome light covers, and noticed all the bulbs point down, therefore, i order 3 sets of these bulbs http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...58-1-pair.html for dome lights
2 set of flank type bulbs for four doors http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe.../5k-4-hpf.html
And 2 sets for running board http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...-led/6-5k.html
And 921 for back up, and i choose 5k, since i already have 6k to compare with one i like it better

I used 5k from vleds, the 6k had too much blue in them for my taste.

5000 horizon daylight
5500-6000 overhead daylight
6500 overcast daylight

I put these in our GX about a month ago. It's hard to get the coloring to really show.
I'm not totally in love with it with the Sepia interior, but I don't plan on changing it back.
For those of you who're wondering all you need are 16x T10 wedge bulbs.

So 2014 has led low and halogen high?

Amazing that those two little leds put out 2400 lumen!

well the led light was installed and its output amazing.
problem is the base heat sink too big and the cap on the back of headlight
housing wont fit with this. Just wasted about $70. I can put it in, but i am sure
the screw cap is back there for a reason.

anyone else have any other H9 highbeam LEDS to try out? Make sure base fits
inside housing and you can screw cap back on. I'll post pics

It doesn't look like that shallow housing will allow any LEDs to be added. If you recall 2010 through 2013 only had the housing on the low beam and it was full of room so I was able to get everything inside of it on the low beams but I do not have a housing on the high beams or the fog lights. The problem with high output LEDs is that they require a heat sink which is quite large. Pic below is my low beams and fogs with a ballast.
