Also, you need to get this DRL Harness from V-LED.

Whom has 120 led drls?! I just got mine working using to seperate kits. At first I was just using the vleds kits but the harness didn't work with it. The bulbs actually worked without the harness then they just stopped working after awhile. I just recently ordered the ijdmtoy kit and its harness is different then vleds. Their bulbs however I didn't really like. In fact the vleds bulbs are brighter. So right now I'm using the vleds bulbs and the ijdmtoy decoder harness together.

It's says it needs 12v, don't our DRL's run at 9v or something like that?

What decoder harness from ijdmtoy works with this? I too tried the V-leds DRL kit and the DRLs didn't work with the harness properly. The LEDs were still dim and they would stay on even after the car was completely turned off. I had to turn the car back on again to get the DRLs to turn off. Needless to say, I returned the v-leds drl kit for a refund.

That's exactly what i was looking for! Please follow up once you've got the 120 LED DRLs and the decoder kit installed. I'm curious to see the light intensity and output. I've tried several versions of the v-leds DRL kits for our car and all have not worked properly or have had very poor LED output. If they work well i'll bite!

Though I like the idea of LED's for certain applications, some people here seem to suffer from LED-itus.

The whole idea of DRL's is just so other drivers can notice you. More brightness really isn't necessary during the daytime as it's more likely blind oncoming drivers. The DRL module I have lights up the fogs at 75% of their normal brightness, which intensity-wise just about matches most typical factory DRL's.

Unfortunately, the module I have is no longer made. :o(

I dunno about the rest on this thread, but i'm not looking for HID intensity DRLs. My main reason for wanting DRL lights is for the color output. I enjoy the crisp white with slightly blue tint light better than the stock halogen ugly (imo) yellow colored DRLs. The problem with simply swapping out stock 9005s for 9005 LED DRLs is that the LED 9005s don't run properly on the lower voltage draw and the output suffers dramatically(they become so dim, you can hardly even tell if they're on or not), thus the need for the decoder. The brightness isn't going to be blinding or even close to a regular low beam output.
