Hi guys,im looking for a LED replacement for my DRLS which will have a good highbeam out, so im thinking about replacing my DRLS with these

Has any bought and tried these?

Also does anyone have another DRL LED white replacement they use that has a good highbeam output?

Check out this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/second-...g-drls-941189/

As far as I know, no one has purchased and tried, or at least purchased, tried, and shared results.

I'm curious to know if they are truly plug and play w/o any issue or flicker.

I had purchased a morimoto HID kit from TRFS for old impreza. They are great quality items and extremely bright. (wasnt that kit though)

The flicker on DRL's is usually due to the DRL circuit only providing 5-6 V (aka about half the normal voltage) In a halogen bulb, this means less light. LED's require ~12 V. If you don't want flicker on any DRL LED bulb, you'll need to install a relay harness. Load resistors trick the computer into thinking there's a bigger load on there and the DRL light on your dash disappears. Those are some solid bulbs, I'm not sure there are resistors involved and also relay would mean it would always be on full power. 'high beam' functionality would effectively be non-existent as the DRL will always be in 'high beam' mode. Unless they start having 'dual filament' LED technology you won't get the exact result you want

I just bought the drl kit, i will install it in a few days... i have a resistors from my other led drl that I will use, hopefully it will work...

Installed these bulbs and they work great! When in highbeam mode they are very bright... the first led DRL that actually has a good highbeam output....

The only issue is that my check DRL light is still on...
I am using this Decoder off of my old led DRL set up...
Any thoughts?

I'm going to use my noob understanding of electronics and say you probably need a resistor. Someone else will be glad to correct me.

Which kit is that?

soupi

It is from this website
Acura Honda Lexus High Beam LED Daytime Running Lights Decoder Modules

(R2 Decoder)
I thought these were the resistors.. because on my old LED drl's these worked fine.

t3hhcaptain

Yeah, I don't really know. My first thought is that a decoder would not also perform the role of a resistor.

Have you tried emailing the store? It does say they tested with our vehicle. Maybe they can offer some troubleshooting and you could share it with us.

Are you setup like this: Install LED Daytime Running Lights with special DRL Decoder

Edit: After looking at the diagram, it looks like the "decoder" is a pair of resistors.
