Default ES350 Fog Light and Headlights

I I currently have a 2007 ES350 and I love it never been happier. I do have HIDS on my headlights and want to now change my fog lights (which are halogens/yellow currently) to an LED

As anyone does this ? If so what fog light bulbs were used ?

Also I recently had to get new HID bulbs for my low beams on the right passenger side. Was coming on then going out. I’m going to be putting the new ones in this weekend but do I need to get high beams too ? For the right side I noticed it was coming on either when the passenger side burnt out

I use
these models. these models.
But
the newer models the newer models
are adjustable 360 degrees.
This is my ride.

I've had the cheaper models since December and are still serving me well. Be warned its quite difficult to change the fog lights. Its easy to get them out. But lining up the proper nudges on the 9006 model is kinda hard. You will get it eventually.

High beams? Our model has the high beams doing double duty as a DRL light. You need a switchback LED like Morimotos. Because if you just install LED's then they will not magically glow brighter for high beams. However, its very expensive. Maybe wait for a 3rd party to create one.
Also that website ? Bulbfacts reviews plenty of LEDs. I've trusted them and I bought the Techmax and Katana LEDS thanks to them and I've been happy with the results.

So are you saying when the (passenger-side) HID headlight doesn't illuminate, the (passenger-side) halogen high beam also does not illuminate?

As a long-time owner of VW and Audi, I've been happy with lighting products from deAutoKey.com whom specialize in German makes.

They offer, which I've not seen elsewhere, the 9006 fog LED that's switchable from white -> yellow -> halogen in the color spectrum by simply toggling the fog light switch on/off.
Had them in my VW CC for years along with their interior LEDs that never let me down, and have now purchased a set for my 2011 ES.

Clean white 5500k
Hyper yellow 3000k
Halogen color 4300k

They also have a five-way that introduces two modes of strobe/flash which I didn't opt for, or just plain white or yellow if single color is desired.
They're not cheap but worth the price in quality, they offer a lifetime warranty on LEDs, and I can attest their customer service is excellent.
Be sure to select the 9006 for our cars if you opt to purchase.

I see they're mentioned as the top performing LED kit for reflectors on bulbfacts.com whose website I just learned of today (thanks NoirWaves)
