High Beam LED replacement...

![Default](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi There SamLexRXGX - I bought and installed these on my 2018 GX. When mine went in, the LEDs were on either side and the "substrate" I guess it is called, has a vertical orientation. DO you know if this is right? Or maybe the LEDs should be oriented top and bottom of the substrate? Any idea?
These things are bright and crisp white. One thing I always wonder about these devices that have an in-built fan ... the whole assembly fits INSIDE the headlight assembly which is sealed with that dust cover so even though it is fan-cooled, there is no outside air circulating. I guess it is ok. I am not inclined to leave the dust covers off of the high beam assembles.
But yeah, these things are nice.

I used the auxito high beam. I feel its perfect replacement. working great.
it has 1:1 same beam pattern with the factory Halogen bulb. same focal length and position like the factory bulb.

Searched first; didn't find much.
2016 GX460 luxury, HID low-beams, halogen high-beams. Looking to replace with LEDs. Seeing a lot of disparate info on bulbs, dust covers, etc. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Looking for maximum brightness/output for country roads. Not concerned about street legality; will only be on when not around other cars anyhow. Suggestions appreciated!

Isn't the low beam already LED? If not what bulb does it take?

You mentioned HID low beam. Check out this channel (no affiliation)

I have the Hikari 2023 Titanova on the way will be here tomorrow. I chose this one because it has better cooling than most. They make an H9 version

On the Hikari, do they require extended dust covers, anti-flickr setups, or anything else? OR are they plug and play?

Dust covers don't know would need to see the back of the headlight. Generally they can be an issue with any bulb that has a fan which is most.

The headlights have a separate LED DRL; the halogen beams aren't used for DRL that I can see. Since they're halogen, if there was any voltage in them, they'd light up.
What do you do with the dust covers on fan-LEDs? Just leave them off?
