Thank you!!!

How do the 6000k LED's Compare to your 6000k HID's? Are the Colors close?

Pretty close, yes. Of course it depends on what brand of 6000K HIDs you have, and their age as well.

I was going to use 5000k HID bulbs from DMM Tuning. What brand are your bulbs?

6000K Garax, which are generally considered the best. I do use DDM Tuning 6000K in my projector fogs though.

The 6000K DDM Tuning HIDs in my fogs match the 6000K LED parking lights pretty well. If you're within a few feet of the car, you can notice slight variations in the color, but from afar it looks like a perfect match.

Tchan1 on the CL forums did the projector retrofit for me. Here's some info: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...tor-retro.html

Haven't done my reverse lights yet, probably this month.
