LX 570 Headlight Upgrade

[Mbchance]

This might belong in the “Stupid questions thread” but I’ve been scouring the forum and have seen a couple of examples spread throughout the forum of upgraded bulbs in a 2013-2015 LX 570.
I have a 2014 and was wondering what combinations of lights you guys are using if you’ve upgraded fogs, HID’s and/or halogens.
I’d like to upgrade the high beams and maybe the HID’s to match. Not necessarily go away from the HID’s but maybe match color to a good high beam replacement.
I prefer to re-use the dust cap but would be willing to modify if need be.
Looking for examples if anyone has them. Curious to know your experience and recommendations before I start changing things out.
(If I’ve just completely missed some other threads, I apologize and this can be deleted)
Thanks all!

Hikari h11 LEDs are a popular option for drop in fog light replacement. If you want the best would suggest Baja Design Squadron SAE fogs or the Diode Dybamics equivalent. They plug into existing fog light harness and are incredibly bright. There is no direct fit kit but several folks here including myself who made it work using Tacoma fit kit.

here is @eatSleepWoof ‘s excellent thread

Confirmed fit in '14 LX: Baja Designs Squadron Sport + Tacoma mounting kit

I am SO excited about this. I had these Baja Designs Squadron Sport lights kicking around from my Tacoma, along with the Tacoma fit kit. Decided to try my luck and see how close of a match it would be for the LX, and the verdict is: 99% perfect mount. Connection is plug and play using the...

Any update on upgrading your low/high beam?

Any update on upgrading your low/high beam?

I haven't done anything yet. Looking back into doing some upgrades now though.

I replaced high beams with Morimoto 2 stroke LED’s but not too happy with the output. It’s whiter (5500K vs 4300K) than low beam HID’s (OEM) and has a crescent shaped output.

Previous owner did HID low beams and LED high beams in my 2011 and I'm a big fan. I bet there are better/brighter HID's for the lows than what I have, but I'm satisfied. I did some 3000K yellow Amazon special LED bulbs for the fogs, which I like a lot for bad weather.
