  1. The xenon depot kit comes with the harness already, so all you need is the xtreme kit. As far as which kit is the best, xenon depot use a potted ballast which is waterproof. Philips is the best in my opinion, very bright natural light. It really depends on what you are looking for, brighteness? or cool looking color? The bluer the light, the less light output. Also the GX doesnt need a wire harness if you buy quality ballast that draws less than 10 amps on start up, Philips and McCullon makes these ballast and I dont know who else.

    Good info. Thank you, G Man!

  2. For those folks who are looking for replacing or may just need addition to their existing key, you just found the answer. I got my new OEM key recently from ebay (see actual seller below). It was about $139 out the door (shipping, key remote w/ cover, and cutting - providing your VIN number). I was so happy for this buy due to the dealer gave me a quote for the key for about $285 not including the programming before I bought a key. I was lucky that the dealer did not charge me for programming my new key since I was there for them to program my wallet key.

    Hope this helps!

  3. Check out my post about the same taillights I got off Ebay Altezza Taillights

    Fitment was average because due to the barn door in our GX the right (passenger) side taillight housing did not clear the barn door's hinging motion. So I had to cut a hole out of the housing so that the barn door tailgate doesn't rub against the taillight housing each time I open or close it.

    Your tail lights looks great on your black GX! By the way, thanks for the information.

  4. I called the closest dealer in my area to fix the clunk problem for GX470 and I was told that before they can do or order any thing, they need to see it for a test drive to identify the problem. I know there's a TSB for this problem but why I still have to drive 30 miles down for a test drive with them before they do the job?

  5. Are the aftermarket tail lights (see below) better replacement for the OEM in terms of brightness, etc? I'm planning on replacing my stock tail lights but I'd like to make sure that these aftermarket parts have equal or brighter lights.

    Also, this same tail light can be found on ebay.

    The color of my truck is savannah metallic (grayish dark green). I'm think of replacing the lights with smoke or chrome.

    Please let me know what you think.

  6. Thats the clunk. When you stop at a red light. A second or 2 after you comes to a complete stop, you feel a slight push as if some car tap you from the back.

    Thank you for explaining G-Man!

    Now that I understand what might be the clunk problem is, now every thing is clear why whenever I come to a full stop (not too slow and not sudden or abrupt). I feel some weird movement coming from the lower back to the lower mid-section of the truck. I thought some thing is wrong with the transmission not down shifting smoothly.....somewhat like a vibration in the lower back. It's annoying and feels like a big defect by the car manufacturer.

    So, I'm going to my local dealer for them to replace driveshaft and control arm (if needed). I will post it here when the dealer has fix this issue.

    Any way, mine is a 2007 GX 470. I bought it two weeks ago as CPO with only 2,500 miles on it.

    Thanks for all your help and contribution to this wonderful and helpful forum.

  7. To spice things up here in a problem-free discussion, tell us what color GX you own and why you chose it.

    We did not have any choice because we were looking for a very low mileage Certified Used Car. We found this 'Alpine' colored truck with a 2500 miles only and the rest is history.
