Hi, actually I dont't like the clear bra and prefer the hood deflector. Do you know where I can get it for 2nd gen GX 460?
Thank you

Anyone had any luck adding the lower brushed aluminum front "lip" piece that comes on the 2017 Sport editions on a non Sport or previous year model?

Also, has anyone seen an aftermarket replacement for the lower mesh/honeycomb part of the front grill? Would like to figure out a way to have the horizontal lines of the upper portion of the grill extend to the bottom like on the new 570 n

Anyone interested in changing your signal to LED. Here is the link of the lights I just changed all 4 on my 16. No hyper flashing, brightest signal ever seen in the market right now. It is plug and play.

Using Techstream, turned on windows/moonroof fully open when holding down unlock for 3 sec. Ready for any heatwave now.

The LED bulb conversion (5000K) is awesome.

do you mind providing a link to the bulbs you got? Are these direct replacement to what's on the car? Thanks in advance.

I cannot seem to find the bulbs any longer. They are Sylvania 5000K units and were about $9-12 each.

Apparently the ones I have are no longer available. I installed the Sylvania bulbs for the running boards and the front dome lights. The others were some non-named bulbs I had purchased many months ago from eBay.

Try the Sylvania bulbs if you can find them, they are GREAT and I have been using them for more than two years without any problems.

Can anyone tell me what's the reason for getting Vleds over Philips or Yorkim or Sylvania? Seems like Yorkim LEDs are a lot cheaper than Philips or Sylvania or Vleds. I was all set to get Philips for $6.50 each when I found the Yorkim for like $1.00 each!
