GLS450
Anyone use LED conversion?

Hello all - my first post as I had purchased the GLS450 for my wife last Friday. It had almost every option I wanted, except of course the Lighting package (I made an assumption it would default to Xenon as I come from Audi). Anyway, super happy with the truck and am going to try the Philips X-treme vision +130% bulbs tonight as a stop-gap.

Anyone use something like the CougarMotor H7 LED headlight all-in-one conversion kit? It's a best seller on amazon but I just don't know how picky our GLS trucks are with doing something like this. Most of my searching online has resulted in several folks happy with a xenon conversion but wondering if there's anyone that has tried some of the LED kits out there. Here's a link to the CougarMotor:
Amazon Amazon

Thanks for the conversation. I now have peace of mind my family is in a safe monster like the GLS.

You’ll get uneven lighting and reduce your throw distance. HID conversion is better option. Our Hylux/Morimoto blend kit works fine for G line.

Take a look at this thread:

It's a GLE thread, but G line uses the same specs.

If interested, shoot us an email at aznoptics@gmail.com or send us a PM and we can get you set up with an invoice.

What about the Morimoto 2Stroke H7 LED kit? Would that work well in the MB projector housing?
