Default Upgrade Non-HID GX to aftermarket LED?

Has anyone upgraded their non-HID GX460 to LED? I'm currently running a 6k HID in the low beam and fog lights but I'm not happy with the looks. Seems kind of cheap looking but the factory bulbs don't put out enough light on the country roads where I live. What have you all done?

I’m running Xenon Depot LED’s and like the look. They perform well at night and it was an easy mod. I prefer LED’s over HID because it’s a nice white light but not blinding to others. LED also last longer with less draw. Just my opinion

Are they 5k or 6k? I'm trying to get away from the blue colored light and more white led.

I think it’s probably 4K because it’s just white, no blue. Not super bright either but definitely an upgrade from oem halogen.

Link? Do they have a kit for the 2011 GX? Mine are original and seemingly dim.

Our Xtreme LED PRO kits are actually rated for between 5500-5700K, so you get a crisp white colour to the light with no blue.

If you're looking for an LED upgrade for the Low Beams on a 2010+ GX460, you want our H11 Xtreme LED PRO headlight kit. No Canbus modules required for this application.
