2011 GL450 Bulb -> LED replacement chart

I'm trying to replace original bulbs with LED, here is my chart. Please help me to find the missing one and share your findings.




#1 - Daytime Running Light
LED replacement LED replacement
It took me a while to figure out how to turn it on. There is a settings in the menu. Light stays On during daylight, Off when the main headlight is on.

#2 - Fog light - manual switch, Does it make sense to replace it with error free LED? Have anyone tried it?

#3 - Marker light -
Error Free LED Error Free LED
, works fine and looks great.

#4 - Parking light -
Error Free LED Error Free LED
, works fine and looks great.

#5 - Turn Light -
Error Free LED Error Free LED
, I'm thinking of buying this one. Let me know if you have a better one.


Thank you for your answers.

I have not replaced the Daytime running lights with LEDs but do know they use a H1 base type bulb.

Thanks for your list, I am interested in going with the led parking light. Was it hard to get to?

<<<@!1!@>>>

This is not correct.



I spent a couple hours today and found out that DRL original bulb is actually a PSX26W (Philips) bulb, so I ordered this LED replacement
Amazon.com: 2 PCS Bright White P13W / PSX26W / SH23W 18-SMD 5050 LED Headlight Bulbs For Driving Fog Light / Day Time Running Light DRL: Automotive Amazon.com: 2 PCS Bright White P13W / PSX26W / SH23W 18-SMD 5050 LED Headlight Bulbs For Driving Fog Light / Day Time Running Light DRL: Automotive



Will keep you posted.

H1 actually is a fog light bulb and it also can be replaced with LED but it has to be used with external resistor which is a little bit overkill.

other PSX26W options?


I read the reviews on Amazon on the DRL LED bulbs you indicate, and they're pretty horrendous. Alternatively, I found these PSX26W bulbs that appear of higher quality:
