Hi...wanting more high beam output, and not wanting to futz with the headlights, I have been trying to find a smallish LED set or even truck type single rectangle shaped aftermaker "off road light" which could fit behind the Lexus grille and be wired into the high beam circuit (with a on off switch).
At the low end, there's pretty plasticky stuff from parts supply stores which might be ok, but seem cheap. The fact that every one is marked "for off road use" or some other excuse is obnoxious-I grew up when Hellas and Cibies could be added provided you had the wallet.
On the mid-price, there's almost nothing designated for cars...it becomes more macho fodder like **** CIpak and other %#@-up truck fare. They look like they've lots of fire power but are either boxy or just too big.
I guess the high end is definitely for off roading-I am surprised I don't see any Hella LED units that would look good inside the grille, aka similar to Mini Cooper advisement.
Any suggestions...btw, ONLY interested in LED (NOT halogen/hid), thanks!
I turned off the DRL from Techstream, then installed a set of switchback LEDs in the front signal sockets.
Now that become my new DRL (white LED) and turn signal still work via the amber/yellow LED.
Philipps makes some good DRL’s. I actually used this same set on my old LS. They put out a good amount of lumens. No modifications required. Grill lights was just me playing around with some flexible LED lights.

Are the lenses up against the plexi ? Otherwise I am concerned of dirt/water getting in between lens and plexi and then the effort needed to clean . Great job nonetheless! Thanks for sharing

That looks fantastic! I'm going to disable my DRLs too. Do you have a write-up on what all you replaced in your headlights?
classy LED driving lights
