Question LED Recommendations

What's up CL,

I'm about to purchase the Garax 6000k HID low beam headlights, and I'm looking to change the parking / city lights to LED's and Reverse Lights LED's.

I'm really confused as to which style LED to purchase.

07' GS350 RWD

Any help would be so helpful. I searched and searched.

Take care, at night the LEDs work great but during the day they tend to be hard to see especially if sun light is directly on them and if anything it only illuminates the bulb area, like a low glow red dot.

They just don't fill out the light assembly like the standard bulbs.

I tried the Luxen Red LED's supposedly the brightest LED out there, They are bright but direct sun light just does not make it bright enough for safety reasons.

Just my experience.

Test: Put them on and go to a store front that has tinted windows or is dark inside. Park rear end in then look at the reflection and you will see what I mean.

If you do upgrade I suggest clear lens so the LED's will light up without being obscured by the OEM lens.
