DRL Install

I hated the yellow look of the factory DRLs and I did not want to change the bulbs to LED and loose the high beam effectiveness.
So the factory DRL were disconnected (fuse pulled) and a set of DL5 DRLs installed.
They employ five 1watt leds in reflective lenses each with an output of 7-900 lumes in the 5-6500k heat range.
It kind of gives the RDX a European Audi RS, Benz type look.

Enjoy

Looks very clean! You could do both as LED with minimal power draw. Are these spliced or is it plugged into a harness?

HID fogs that must be really bright. Nice. My brother just backed into the frontend of my RDX today. No fogs for me.

Very Nice DRL Install

Notice your turn signal light were leds as well. Are those the switchbacks one? If so, where did you purchase them?

Thanks guys!

The LED DRLs come with a harness, three wires, power ground, and another one that you can use (optional) to connect to the park light circuit to dim the DRL when you turn on your Lights. I did'nt connect mine so they stay bright all the time.

My turn signals (forward) are the switchbacks and can be purchased at V-leds.com
