Default LED mods for parking lights and fogs

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and bought an 08 GS350 a couple of weeks ago and would like to know what's the best LEDs for replacing the parking lights and fog lights before I buy the wrong thing. Thanks in advance.

^^^^^

He asked for best LED not bulb guide.

Get HIDs for your foglights from DDMtuning.com. They are about $60 shipped and reputable company. For your LEDs, ive always had good luck with vleds.com. Or eBay member jpwarren I believe. Make sure you get the LED bulbs that have more then a single led bulb if you want it to be bright enough to hit all angles.

^^ he said "before I buy the wrong thing" so bulb guide is the best to start.

And I agree with the more LED. But I have not seen one LED that burned before... I recommend something like this


and oh ya, look in the sticky and especially this thread would be a great way to start https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ere-first.html

I ordered these but I'm not sure if it is what I needed. I noticed that the parking light is a smaller bulb coming from the top corner of the housing. I appreciate all the responses every bit helps.

Those are for your parking lights in where your high beams are, your high beams are actually your day time running lights if you change these to leds you will lose your high beams small price to pay to look fly ;-)

I'm a little confused. In the housing there are two bulbs. I want to change the one in the top corner that is on pretty much all the time. I'm not feeling the dim orange tint that it gives off. will the sylvania bulb be brighter or should i use an LED bulb?

LED for sure... no halogen bulb will be much of a difference. I've tried sylvania = expensive and barely noticeable. I went cheap on most of the LEDS I got and haven't noticed much of a difference vs. the expensive bulbs. Maybe get a little brighter bulb for spending a little more.
