2011 LS 460 LED foglight replacements??
Hey, just wanted to know if anyone has put aftermarket LED foglights on their LS 460 2010 - 2012. If you have please let me know which ones you bought and how you installed them. I am looking to change the factory foglights to some better looking LED ones. Thanks!

I have HIDS in fogs from xenon depot; they match the stock hids...I would highly recommend HIDs vs Leds; Leds have more glare and not as much output. I had them on the lx570 and the output was ok.
I had something like this for less

@Mahad - you can really go either way with your Fog Lights on that vehicle. They use a 9006 bulb, so you aren't in danger of overheating things - our HID kits are 35W compared to a 55W halogen - but it depends on how much of an upgrade you are looking for. A 9006 HID Kit is the brightest option for output, but you can also get a pretty solid upgrade from a 9006 LED Kit as well, or even go with some colour-matching 9006 Fog Light LEDs if you just want a cosmetic change and aren't as interested in the overall brightness.

Thanks for the plug, @UZ214! Glad to hear you're enjoying your HIDs.

Thanks for the information Robert. I am considering the 9006 Fog Light LEDs. I am not looking for anything too bright, I just want the foglights to match the HID headlamps. Just want to replace the stock bulbs with the LED bulbs, not looking for anything more. So which ones do you think I should go for?

Would you recommend the 5000K ones, or the 6000K ones to color match? From what I can tell the stock OEM low beams are 4300K, so my guess would be the 5000k ones would match the best?

I installed these on my GMC truck and liked them so well, that I bought them for the LS460 (they use the same bulb)...

I think I saw a post elsewhere, but how do you get to the parking light? Start removing fasteners until you can get down the bulbs? I have some bulbs but got lazy installing them; I think I remember needing to remove a fuse block to properly access it.
