I started out the ijdmtoy bulbs and harness, but the bulbs began to flicker about two years after having them - I have slowly been switching up to Diode Dynamics for all my bulbs though -
My current Diode Dynamics Bulb lineup -
-Switchback turn signals
-lower fog led bulbs
-inner drl led bulbs
-license plate led bulbs
My only issue so far was when I initially installed my switchbacks - the passenger bulb stopped working, so I claimed warranty and got sent a new bulb no questions asked within 2 days. I have had the switchbacks for a over a year, the inner drl bulbs since March, the lower fog bulbs since july and the license plate bulbs for a few months - all have been working great.
You can still use the DD bulbs - just need to get the wiring harness/decoder
Could you send me exact P?N that you ordered? I was on their website and it had an option to add a wiring decoder thing....the one's I ordered today didn't have that option. Something in me bones says that I didn't order the right thing. If not hopefully I can throw em in the fogs cuz I plan on going back to non yellow fogs in the spring.
you need a harness or your lights either will not work properly or show a DRL warning light all the time on your dash, and probably even both.
i'm a vleds fan but i believe DD is a great company too

Is the wiring harness on DD website? Is it like the load resistors I had to use for my LED turn signals

As the LED's draw less power you will get the light on the dash and they will be partially dim - i used the harness i had with my ijdmtoy kit - just employed the DD bulbs instead...not sure if you can just use load resistors on the bulbs or you need the harness

Boose to the rescue!! Thank you my friend!! So funny but not so funny at the time story this weekend. So I was headed down into SLC to buy a set of winter tires to mount on to the stock wheels. Well the whole family has been sick this week but I needed them badly, so we trekked off anyways....15 minutes out my youngest son says dad pull over I gotta puke!! I gave him a emergency bucket pre hand and he did get most of it in the bucket some did get on the floor. The funny part of it is that the smell was sooooo putrid and disgusting that everyone in the car was on the verge of puking!! My oldest son and I bolted out and started basking in the cold fresh mountain air.....my daughter however wasn't as fortunate. She was in her car seat and couldn't t get out....she suffered they fate and pukes all over herself. Poor punkin!! Ended up shampooing the entire carpet and detailing/airing it out the past 2 days. All in the name of tires....if I wasn't a procrastinator I'd have the tires done last week!!
A puking good deal!! 90% tread Life left for 160 clams!!
no problem bro, i hear ya on the family being sick - those days are not fun! I've never been in that situation before though, strange how much of a domino effect it has, just takes one up-chucking to start the cycle lol

It was like that scene in Stand by Me when Lard Ass drank all the castor oil and ate a tin of pies at the fair then puked all over the crowd, then they all puked on each other. It was a puking chain of catastrophe

For some reason they looked like 20s to me, I must've had too much coffee at work.
hahahahhaha yes exactly like that!!!!
Honestly I think the 19's look a little too big, I got a killer deal so I swooped. I really want a set of 18's becuz I think that is the optimal look for the 3G as many others have rocked 18's and it looks better and I'm sure the ride is as well. I change my mind on what I want like my 2 year old changes out fits in a day
So I got my LED DRLs all squared away this weekend. It was kind of a mind game, the harness came with no directions and the video Boose posted no help either. It did show me what not to do, even in the comments the guy said his lights weren't working. I looked at other related videos and diagrams in the web and figured it out. I made a DIY video but I'll have to edit them all together. I had no help filming so I had to make it in sections.
Step 1: Connect ground wire to negative terminal.
Step 2: Connect harness to OEM (blue) socket. * Passenger side will have the orange load resitor with no connection to harness.
Step 3: Connect female end of harness to male end bulb and place in housing.
Step 4: Insert Red wire w/ metal tab into last Connector of harness.
Step 5: Connect positive cable to positive terminal on battery.
Here is the last video I did with quick synopsis.
Ok so here are all the steps via video. I was to lazy to splice them all together, each one is about 30 seconds long. I want to thank Boose and the Ziners. You led me in the right direction and I figured out the rest.

Man - I was waiting for you to get on here earlier - I would have provided more assistance - but I didn't think you had been up on here - my bad bro - could have snapped some photos for you...
Boose
Hey no worries man, honestly. I appreciate the info you gave me....I'm a pretty resourceful fella!! that's one thing the military has taught me, be stubborn and don't give up. I wasn't on all week because I was fighting a battery issue. I recently changed the terminals on the positive side due to corrosion. I needed a crimper but didn't have one. I bought some terminals that had a sleeve instead of the open ended version. Used a pair of vice grip's to pinch the wires down and problem solved. Finding the root cause was a pain though. It was weird becuz sometimes my car would start then it wouldn't, I was lost but last Friday I had the hood up and was messing around and low and behold I bumped the wire and all the electronics came on.

Yeah, man you'd be surprised how easily the problems can be fixed - just the diagnosis sometimes is the pain in the patoot. But most of the time my troubleshooting always starts at the battery and then work out from there. Glad you got things figured out homie!
So I went ahead and bought this. Having bought a CAI for every car I've owned (Last 3 have been Injen) I know their basically all the same. I'm going for aesthetics's becuz I like the way it looks better than stock. Might have it powered coated red though as that's what I'm going with for other parts inside the engine bay.
All squared away, 90 minutes worth of work. The cone is being pushed in a tad by the fog lights but no biggie. I was going to powder coat it red but the shop was closed. Also went to the Pic A Part to grab a valve cover, engine bay covers, Red OEM tails, seat covers, and front sway bar. Unfortunately holiday hours had them closed at 1300, I got there At 1345!!
Because when it hasn't gotten over 30 degrees in 2 months and suddenly Its 55....makes me want to get out and change things. Winter set up just got a bit more colorful
I just went through this whole thread and the CGP really grew on me. For wheels, I feel like a alloy silver would really look good, or even a dark bronze (not copper). The headlight rings really pop out too, i love it. I painted mine a torque n teal blue, and I love it. Best of luck to future mods :P

I totally agree with you on dark bronze!! I just get so bored so easily hahaha thank you ADHD Haha, I sold those headlights and got some Type S ones. CGP has some blue and green flakes in it when get that shine to pop out. Not a mod but my next step is changing the brakes, I can feel them fading fast. Seems like every time I get enough saved up to buy the aspec or seat covers some maintenance pops up. I hate being an adult
Steven you know you love you some red wheels!! They don't look too bad really, if I'd change one thing it would to leave them a flat red instead of putting some gloss on them.

yeah, that and the DGP are my favorite for the pearl flakes, reminds me of Volvo paint. Silver doesn't have much until you really get closer....and closer...with a magnifying glass.
Thanks again for helping my part out! The red on the wheels POP! Is that spray paint or dip? Suppose to be in the 60's here!!! Mod season might come early!
