One of my original fog light bulb is burnt out on my 2011 LS460. Just wondering if there is any better looking fog light bulbs than the OEM one I can replace with.

Is it an HB4 bulb on a 2011 LS460? If by "better looking" you mean a whiter/bluer light, there are probably blue-tinted bulbs available from reputable manufacturers. While heavy blue tint does reduce light output, front fog lights are pretty much useless anyway, but I think on the LS they must be turned on before one can turn on the important rear fog lights.

I would buy LED replacement bulbs

Few Americans know what rear fog lights are. Here are photos of ECE compliant rear fog lights I installed on two currently owned Toyota vehicles.

RIght; I recall reading that in USA, vehicles may have 0-1 rear fog lights, while in Europe they must have 1-2 rear fog lights. As such, some manufacturers use just one, so they don't need different rear light clusters for different markets.
I've no idea whether I have 1 or 2 rear fogs; I'll have to take a look...
That's a good idea; those small lights may save lives. As a rule of thumb I activate rear fog lights when it becomes difficult for me to see the car in front of me.

That aside, LEDs are generally not suitable (if not outright illegal) for housings with reflectors designed for incandescent light sources. And of course, projectors have reflectors inside them, too.

LED bulbs in projectors aren’t going to put out much usable light. Just for looks.
