Thoughts on these triple beam LED aftermarket headlights?

@BMGS that bumper/grille/headlight removal threw me too - but i think that is a modded pre-refresh engine note. When the person in the car started up the engine, it sounded just like my '13 GS350. I believe the refreshed 3.5 engine (2GR-FSE) sound on startup and idle is slightly different than the newer, refreshed GS engine (2GR-FKS) note.
@Kingmatt24 is that a modded '13-'15 in the video?

I noticed some 2016+ tail lights in the recommended items in that link, not sure if they’re OEM or not but definitely seems like a lower price. But speaking on lights I always forget how bright the OEM DRLs actually are

I don't recall if its adjustable with techstream, i know there was a kit to allow DRLs to run at 100% brightness day or night (OEM DRL's run at lower brightness at night by default). Think Design Japan had the kit:

I've used aftermarket headlamps a quarter of the price of these and they had a proper cutoff shield. There's no reason to assume they would blind oncoming traffic unless the end user adjusts them incorrectly, which can be done with any OEM housing as well.
It would be nice to see a photo of the cutoff and light beam at night for those interested.

Looks like fellow member/moderator @JoshIS408 installed the aftermarket triple LED headlamps on his GS:

I actually had one of the first sets of these headlights for the GS --- mine arrived on Halloween with a stroke of bad luck. My passenger side DRL was DOA, after some testing with the supplier I used we determined the unit was faulty. supplier provided me a replacement headlight and had it air freight over which was really cool.
Just got my replacement light in yesterday, Cutoff is nice and driving is pretty bright
- Bright Low Beams
- Bright High Beams
- Bright DRL
- Switch Back Turn Signal Streaming DRL
My car is a 2013 GS350 F-Sport (No AFS, with auto levelling)
- No errors on dash (two drives so far, yesterday and today)
- headlight adjustment is manual, you use a screw driver on adjustment **** on back of headlight (Just like the 2IS platform)
Overall very happy, these are high quality and basically on par id assume with any vland headlight all the 2IS folks are running. For the price its not bad at all consider real triple beam (prefacelift) are running 2k+ now

Those lights do look good with your 2016+ F-Sport front end conversion...certainly more aggressive. For $600 from the seller you mentioned in the other post, its not as pricey as some of the aftermarket ones we've seen. Shipping is over $300 which puts it around the same price as some eBay sellers.

Well, ten years after the 4GS debut and its eventual discontinuation, folks finally have a decent aftermarket headlamp option!
