I have a shaking empty passenger seat headrest... Came that way 3k ago as a CPO.
I expect the dealer to fix it at my 5k service.

what led bulbs did you use for high beam? Any difference in output over stock or was this aesthetic?

I used following LED from Amazon:

The output are nearly identical compare to stock but color temperature matches low beam.

The only one issue that I was running into, that is the LED profile, due to its build in fan, the stock dust cover for high beam will not be able to fit. Since it needs a good circulation of air anyway, I just simply leave the dust cover off. LED fits pretty tight and sealed at fixture anyway.

High beams and reverse lights are I'll I've got left to do on mine. Looks killer! What'd you use for the reverse lights?

Those are what I have used for reverse lights for both of my GX and LX:

Actually took it somewhere beyond the mall parking lot today. For those curious, they are TRD Pro Sema wheels with 265/70R17 LRE KO2s on. There is actually no rub aside from one pesky fender screw. It maintains a full range of motion and does not rub the frame, suspension, or body. Will be ordering some flatter fender screws to try and figure it out.

Cool!! Thanks! Once these Michelins need replacement I will look into these.

EDIT: I think your rig is basically the same color as mine.

It is actually the Peridot Mica color. Here's a better photo of the color.

how excessive was the vibration? Sorry to hear this with the new tires as they are really well reviewed by most.
I have my tire set at 32 psi. What tire pressure do you have your tires at? My empty passenger seat has been shaking since I bought the car at some highway speeds. Now it seems my gx has random vibrating at times. Couple other people had this issue several years ago I wonder what happened.

Continuing my LED project for 2014 GX, replaced with turn signal bulb (7440) with the following LED
Amazon Amazon
It worked flawlessly, simple plug and play. The LED light is noticeably bright (See attached video clip). No error or hype flashing


Compare the stock 7440 bulb at left and LED on the right

With both sides completed

Mine are set at 34 PSI currently. I wonder if one of the tires are out of round. Does the steering wheel shimmy on freeway when the seat is shaking too?
