Don't get those cheap hid kits of ebay...go on ijdmtoy, they make them right and you'll get it quick. FYI, H8 and H11 are the exact same so don't worry if they offer you H11. I got those paired up with 10000K and it's a wicked combo! Threw the lens it is a really bright yellow and on the ground it's a deep golden yellow outlined in a dark neon blue...well with my setup anyways. I'll take a pic of it tonight and see I if can post it.

Depends on the brand of the bulb and quality. They should be very yellow, some are more golden, some are greenish, some are more white, and some are mismatched, it's a crapshoot. I got lucky with a DDM set on my last daily driver but their reputation has gone downhill. Morimoto is about the only reputable aftermarket HID option that I'm aware of and even those I got a bad bulb before.

Alright I got another question...Is there any way of getting LED DRL without getting a controller for it.If you don't use the controller you will get error on your dash. Is there any leds out there without all the wiring that won't cause an error.....I have feeling there isn't.

When I put the first one in and turned it on, the drl light did come on the dash. When I put the second one in and turned them on, both led lights were on and no drl on the dash. I've had them since january with no issues.

You could...I went with the super blue led. They also offer that in pure/bright white led. It's just a matter of how much you want to spend on lights.

No you can't just simply plug and play because the DRLs use a certain voltage and when you take out the OEMs and put in LEDs you'll get a DRL signal turn on in your car and the DRLs will automatically shut off..

check this thread https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/ijdmtoy-led-drl-harness-install-w-pics-853543/
the DIY is clearly explained with pictures and its realllyyy easy...the most difficult part of this whole thing was actually reaching in there and taking out the originals.

I bought mine from iJDMtoy for like 70

^ it didn't for me but maybe it's cause the previous owner had rewired the high beams to the D2S's instead of the 9005's? Did you ever get the hid fogs?

yeah the previous probably added the harness needed..no I haven't done the FOG yets. Are those plug and play or do I have to get another harness from online? Right now there just stock yellow but I'm trying to change it to a white blue color that match with the HIDs when I turn those on

Yes you will need the kit. Same process as your led drl's. I think they sell it for 90 or you can check out those Morimoto's.
