No extra wires, just a wire/resistor/plug from bulb to OEM harness. I can snap a pic at lunch and post it later.

Just ordered some 3000k LED bulbs with resistors for the DRLs and fogs.

Will have them today and installed after work. I have replaced the DRLs already so that should be easy. And tips for the fog lights? I'm guessing I pull back the fender liner in the wheel well?

Will post pictures when I'm done.

lift front end of car, turn wheel other way and access through fender line. Or if you're not lazy, just drop the bumper

Looks like I'll be using the lift in the shop tonight.

CBB vs OEM PHILLIPS - 2 TLs with passenger bulbs on



this is the comparison of HIDs, LEDs were bright enough only for my fogs.

So I swapped out my stock DRLs for some 3000k LEDs ( ) with resistor, don't work. I put my stock bulbs back in, works just fine. Not sure if it's bulb or resistor.

Anyone have luck with 3000k DRL bulbs that they can recommend?

DRL run at lower wattage so if there isn't a resistor in-line or attached, normal bulbs won't work.

So I bought the car from my buddy who already had LED bulbs in the DRL, but they weren't working. I removed those and put stock bulbs in, they work fine.

Recently bought some 3000k LED bulbs for the DRL with resistor ( ) but they don't seem to work.I think maybe it's the type of resistor I bought?

Seems like most of the guys here on the forums run resistors with grounding wires and to the battery terminal. @thoiboi mentioned these might work: https://www.vleds.com/shop-applicati...ra/r2-drl.html so I might give those a try.

Stock DRL are run in series to reduce the power output. To run LED DRLs you either need to modify car harness (like I did) or buy/make aftermarket harness with separate relay and power source.

I have a feeling that I posted the link to my thread too many times, but here it is again:

DRLs run at 6V. Not all LEDs are rated to run at that voltage and a resistor is not going to help that. That's why I was perplexed that yours worked. So that's means your a set works at that range.

The harness would provide full 12V power that LEDs need.
