I think the LED's next to the fogs look fine. Are they on a separate switch or tied in with the DRL's?

The door LED's look like bling to me.

No, it's not a matter of a picture of it not looking good. I think we all agree here, we just don't like the idea of it period. But yeah, I know you were probably posting it on here to share and get some positive feedback but we're too honest of a bunch to pull the wool over your eyes. I think the consensus is that it's just tacky, especially on a car like the GS which has a general design that demands a certain level of class.

My feedback is: not a fan of LED strips.

A randomly added LED strips does not always incorporate with the rest of a car. For example, Mercedes E350's LED strips are the worst factory design I've seen so far.

IMO LED strip does not go with our GS, it looked kinda cheeze.

But if you really want to put LED strip on the GS I think it would be more suitable on 2006-2007 GS. Because the bumper is more linear, not as curvy as 2008+ models (unless you run the strip in the middle of the opening).

Excuse my photos, I do not have Adobe PhotoShop at home...

As for the LED strip on the doors, it might looked decent if you only run the LED strip under the door instead of all around it... just a thought !!!

I like the LEDs on the front as well. How's it look during the day when the LEDs aren't on?

The door LED's killed the simplicity of things. Better off with a spot by spot LED setup than a whole strip of it.

Front not bad. Not a fan of the door.
