Wow, their lights look really nice, expensive but nice! LOL. I'm looking for some H11 replacement for my wife's 2014 Camry which still uses halogen and these look so good.

I'm curious of their "cheaper H11" are direct replacement for the GX fog light bulbs as well.

EDIT: When choosing DRL for the GX, I see these, anti flicker from the other Micro LEDs

I had an existing support ticket open so asked them about the one listed above. It does look like what would be needed. Not sure on direct replacement but everything I have ordered from them in the past has been spot on for fit and never had a failure.

They got back to me right away about that light kit.

"We have not tested our R4 Kit in the 2012 Lexus GX 460 and therefore can not guarantee that it will work. Our new 9005/DRL Kit should work for your Lexus GX 460 without any issues"

Is it even too bright for daylight?

... you can tell when someone has their highs on even in daylight.

Some pics. For some reason I couldn’t attach picture posting on iphone when replying/quoting a post, only in new reply (and it’s intermittent too)

btw, I was able to twist it enough to have the LEDs facing the side of the housing

That looks good!

EDIT: Good to know on being able to get lights twisted. If you get a chance can you report back on night-time again? Who knows maybe the slanted angle gives better light at night. :-)

I could see that it throw light a little further and maybe a little brighter.

Some low and high beam pics. They don't do the brightness justice and it is bright in person. You can hear the fan when the engine is off but not in the cabin when the car is on of when driving.

GB2011GX

According to this chart, my 2011 GX 460 takes: H11 for DRL (low beam), 9005/HB3 for High Beam, and H11 for Fog.
Interesting that their only product shown is ALWAYS Nokia.

Soup... how much was that decoder?

bbqsoup

Update : the DRL is still flickering but very lightly and hard to see with naked eyes. But if you use iphone to video you would see it. I checked around and looks like all decoders are the same voltage.
In highbeam, there is no flickering.
GB2011GX, The decoders are about $16 but I’ve seen some are cheaper.

GB2011GX

Soup, you found a combo that works, so no re-inventing the wheel for me... Can you provide a link to those exact same decoders you purchased?
Many thanks in advance!

These are the ones I got

The LEDs I purchased from Amazon have the polarity reversed.

GB2011GX

My daughter replaced hers in her Tahoe a while back. This is what she used... No flicker and I do not like to be in front of her! The U3 design helps with positioning of the LED element.

To throw something new into the mix.
I was looking to replace the bulbs in my '06 Odyssey and came across a thread in the Odyclub forum where you can use HIR1 9011 (9005) bulbs in place of the standard 9005. The HIR1 produces about 2300LM and is considerably brighter than that of the stock 9005. The only different it you need to trim the tab just a bit to make them fit. So if you're looking for a brighter output while still wanting a proper DRL then this may be the way to go.
The Odyssey uses 9011 HIR1 (9005) for high just like the GX

I'm getting a pair of HIR2 9012 to install into my Odyssey and thinking of pick up a pair of 9011 HIR1 for the GX or Camry's highbeam.


Example of what to trim for the 9012


Here's the link from the Odyclub thread
