Yes, they are still working in both LS460s, and I found a larger bag of Cowboy brand lump (hickory & oak) charcoal at Costco for a better price 😊

The nike light led came back on a day later and has been working properly. I might change it later on with a gtr 194 led?

Shoot. Just read this. So if I change my hi beams with the sea light led you linked (amazon), I won’t have daytime running lights? I’d rather have daytime running lights than have high beams. Would you be able to confirm that this is the case? That I would for sure lose daytime running lights by changing the high beams. Thanks

Yes, you will lose DRL functionality with the ones I linked. There are LEDs that work as both hi beam and DRL with a separate module. Check the thread started by jdanielica as one example. Take your time and research before you buy. Everything I did is 6000K color temp including HID low beams. As stated in the other thread stock HID is 4300K so if you update everything else to 6000K and leave stock HID colors wont match.

How much pressure did you have to use to pop out the part of the bumper around the side of the front grille. I felt like I was going to break that part when I was pulling on it.

That area did require more pressure than the other areas and was the last area to be removed, then I pulled it straight out after all the screws were out and everything else had been unclipped. I hope that helps.

I replaced my stock high beam bulbs with these:

9005 - Philips CrystalVision Ultra 9005CVS2 bulbs

from Xenondepot.com (and they don't sell them anymore) -- and they did not improve the lighting. In fact, I feel that they're providing LESS brightness. Ugh.

Default 2006 ls430

They don't look like this in person

This is more accurate but they are brighter and pure white, no hint of blue

Nike light led next to oem


These look way better than the halogen but no high beam output.
Will this work for a 2006 LS430?
