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 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 - , works fine and looks great.
#4 - Parking light - , works fine and looks great.
#5 - Turn Light - , 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?

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
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.

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:
