LED DRLs & Fog Lights?
Hi all, I'm sure I've driven Anita mad by now with all these newbie questions but I'm still unsure (hehehe). I have the RXh with the HID headlights so I'm pretty sure my DRLs don't have high beam. I'm looking at VLEDS.com and input my car info; these are my choices. Which should I go with? Does anyone have experiences with these? I want bright lights with fog lights that extend further out to the sides b/c we live outside of the city where there are less street lights for night time driving. TIA, Nancy

Update: I'm waiting on a better discount before ordering on VLEDS for the DRL & interior lights.
We went to the dealer yesterday to get the power cargo door programmed to open by itself when I push the button on the liftgate. While waiting, we asked parts about the OEM LED fog light assemblies and they wanted $219 each plus tax. The guy was very helpful in comparing the halogen ones with the led ones and we all thought they'd fit so I went ahead and ordered it on ebay at $260 for both left & right assemblies. Will update when we receive & install.

Updates with pictures
I'm back to post pics of what my husband and I did a while back. I love the brightness of the 5k VLEDS bulbs! The only thing I haven't ordered yet are new bulbs for the DRLs.
Parking lights & OEM LED fogs
I only changed the reverse lights
Puddle lights
My husband had the steering wheel rewrapped
I love how the bright lights make the colors on the carseat pop. Clek just released vehicle seat protectors so I may get that since the Clek Fllo is such a beast
I reached 50k miles at the beginning of the month
Sparkling clean after a much-needed bath

Busted fuse?
So I've had these interior lights in almost a year now and just this week, all of my interior lights went out. I checked the fuse and it's burnt out. I've replaced 5 fuses already which have all burnt out. Any ideas? I'm currently at my mom's taking out her stock bulbs to put in mine and see which of the LED bulbs of mine are out. But how do I know what a burnt LED bulb looks like?

Problem solved!
After I removed every single interior bulb and replaced the fuse again, I found 1 obvious bad LED bulb that was stripping. Then 1 bulb had a loose terminal or whatever the little metal thing is called which smoked up when I tested it. So now my interior lights work again! Woohoo!
