Can I use these for ugly drl ?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00067...TKNSXJWRZ88X4A


I don't want to do resistor wiring

I want to keep high beam functionality

I don't want drl warning light in instrument cluster


I just want a plug and play to get rid of my yellownastyfaintuglywhorebag drl.

They won't be any different in DRL mode. When u reduce voltage of that type of bulb it turns yellow.

Also, I think our high beam are 55w.

they make plug and play resistors.....you just have to mount them.
on pass side there is a hole just need a screw.
on drivers side i used on plastic rivet into the plastic battery box.

the only other thing I can think of....without an led would be to use a relay to give 12v full time to drl/hi beam.....the downside is you will blind everyone as this is the equivalent to driving with high beams on all the time.

Best solution is yank the DRL fuse, no more DRL's and no warning light either. I I like being able to decide when I want my headlights on or off.

My 2010 has been this way since day 10 of ownership. Literally. And no DRL warning on the MID either.

And what's nice too is if you decide to go with different high beam bulbs, no DRL warnings either. It's a win win.

So the LED drl's that iJDMtoy sells don't work no matter what correct? I had them in my Si and supposedly they are for the TSX as well. But they won't work without the warning light correct?

^^ They'll work, they'll just give you an error, and be dim.

I had them on my TSX before. They do work if you purchase the PnP resistor that they sell... but as Rob said, they were extremely dim. I bought the 12v converter but never got around to installing it as I got in an accident and the DRL's were ruined.
