Default LED lighting

Okay I know this subject has been beat to death but I am TIRED of searching and searching and searching.

I have a 2008 is250 with OEM HIDs.

I have one fog light and one DRL light burned out.

Looking to just convert both of those to LEDs

Through my research this is what I need:

For DRLs
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/CREE-High-P...1.htm?CartID=1
Combined with R4 DRL Decoder Wire Setup [Add $15.99]

For Fog Lights
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/H11-H8-9006...s-p/40-010.htm

OR
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/3000K-30W-9...3.htm?CartID=3
If I want to go with YELLOW instead

And for reverse lights
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/25W-CREE-Hi...9.htm?CartID=2



IS THIS EVERYTHING I NEED?

just a heads up even though you are probably aware, but switching the DRL/Highbeam to LEDs in my experience is basically just for aesthetics, your high beam will not project any usable light. I haven't used the exact one's you ordered so your experience may be different

Yeah I took that into account and I rarely use high beams.

Here is another question. My drivers side headlight needs to be re-aimed as it is way too low. If the car has auto leveling headlights how come they don't adjust themselves? And how do I adjust them myself?

Okay I'm already fed up with ijdmtoy. The girl helping me, Naomi, is nice but it's ridiculous. I have to send a picture as proof that it doesn't fit? And then wait for them to review it.....

I buy that interior LED kit and it says 2006-2010 and the panel doesn't even fit in the housing. Am I suppose to force it in there???

I'm afraid to install any of their other products in fear of going through all the work only to have it not fit and having to take pictures of everything to send to them.

Well apparently I was wrong.

They're made like that and you have to use some force to get it into place. One would think that you'd be able to just place the panel in the housing and be done but no. You've got to angle it and manipulate it and put quite a bit of pressure on the panel to get it into place. I can tell you that it's not coming loose unless I want to break it lol.
