Ordered my pair!
I'm interested in getting a pair also. Do you have the link? Thank you.
Received them today along with a small screw driver to help with the adjustment per Acrad's recommendation. Won't have a chance to install them until Friday at the earliest, will update the thread then. Impressive build quality though...

Thought I would add a few pictures and some extra insight in case anyone else is considering these fog lights. They seem to be a wonderful product though I haven't tested/adjusted them in the dark yet. Keep in mind, this is for a 2010-2013 GX460.
To install them, first you need to pop off the trim panels. I used a trim tool and light pressure and they both popped out.
I actually started with the driver's side first. There is one screw holding it in place, I used a ratcheting screwdriver and removed the screw. Then you can unplug the harness and take the light out from below. Keep in mind, I did not remove the top access panel, nor did I remove the fender wells.
With the plug exposed, I had to determine which wire is 12v and which is ground. I used a simple circuit tester to accomplish this, using the battery as a ground. In my case, the solid white wire was 12v, the white/black wire was ground. Test your car though in case the color changed between model years. Obviously, turn your fog lights on to accomplish this test.
Seat the terminals into the plug, the blocker cushion should be fully seated. I pressed them in, then used some small needle nose pliers to pull slightly in order to seat them. You might have to bend the terminals slightly to get them to seat in the female portion of the plug.
Test them before you install them. To install them, I notched them in, then screwed them down. A stubby screwdriver will make this a lot easier. You kind of have to do it by feel, but there was plenty of room if you have long arms.
Put your trim covers back and you're done.
We will see how it goes when I aim them later. My tester wasn't long enough for the passenger side by using the battery as a ground so I used this bolt by the air box.
It took me about 45 minutes for the install, which isn't bad. Like I said, I didn't remove anything, though the passenger side would have been easier, but if you're patient you can do it. Catch these lights on sale (probably around any holiday... follow them on Facebook for discount codes) and they are a great deal. Will update the thread once it gets dark tonight and I have a chance to test their output. So far so good though.
Lights are great at night, nice crisp pattern. I wish there was a way to just turn the fogs on only... seems like they are close enough though so I'm not going to mess with aiming them unless I get flashed a few times while driving.
This might work with the GX. Someone who understands wiring diagrams will have to chime in to confirm
Little too involved for my taste. I really only wish to activate the fogs by themselves for the purposes of aiming them, though they seem to be fine as is. Thanks for sharing the link though!
Has anyone ever found where the Morimoto XB LED do not fit on their 10-13 model? and are not plug and play? Mine were certainly perfect fit and plug and play.

im interested as well to know if anyone had any issues. the drawing they have seems to have been updated since i looked at it last. not that the old drawings were incorrect, they were just difficult to understand due to 3d values being shown in a 2d plane. and now the dimension points are relocated.
