High Power LED for DRL
I've been reading extensively on the new products released by V-Led and JLC lighting. Their products claim to have same lumen output as standard halogen which in theory would allow our cars to have some sort of functionality while upgrading our high/fog lamps to LED.

HL22-1200 V-LED
24W LED Digital Plasma - JLC
Has anyone attempted to install either of these products into a 3rd gen and will it fit due to large heatsink?
Appears after reading the thread above the JLC product produces slightly more light due to it's 360 LED surface.

blah!
Why would you want such a bright DRL? Even the VLEDs 10 LED DRL bulb is plenty bright. This 22watt chip will just be a waste of energy and money. And why the heck did they use a samsung chip..
Also worth mentioning that it is a single chip facing one direction. We do have reflectors but the output is going to be odd with a single output LED vs many LEDs. I'd take 5 or 6 XM-Ls over this one samsung chip anyday.

I would get JLC ones over the VLEDS; they fill the reflector way better.

No DRL light on dash, and FULL power.

The JLC is much brighter than the VLEDs product because it outputs in 360 degrees and has a higher lumen output so I would recommend that. A word of caution though, it has a huge heatsink, I'm not sure if there is enough space on the 3G TL, it doesn't fit the 4G TL.

True, that is a huge heatsink. Has anyone in the forum installed either of the two? Rather than take the gamble I'd prefer to go with what is known to work.

Maybe they can tell us the specs of the heat sink size, and we can measure if we have enough space?

Save yourself $40 and just get the $59.99 version.
I have the 6 LED 725 Lumen version and they are plenty bright during the day.

It says
10 LEDs x 5w = 50 watts for the 850 Lumen version
6 LEDs x 5w = 30 watts for the 725 Lumen version
I don't know but that doesn't sound right at all.. How is it that the Samsung chip LED only contains 1 LED chip and is 22 watts but produces 1,200 Lumens?
The XB has ten 5 watt high power CREE R5 chips, the result is absolutely amazing.
6 LEDs x 5w = 30 watts for the 725 Lumen version

do you guys use your DRLs in the night..? I kinda like how mine look at night(I have the xenon white form iJDMtoy), but I notice that I can't see shit at night, but I walked like 30 feet outside from my car and its looks bright from the outside, but you can't see anything from the inside (when driving)

^^No, I use my low beams at night. DRLs aren't meant to be used at night.
It could also get you a ticket.

DAYTIME running lights turn off when you turn your headlights on because your headlights are supposed to be the only source of road illumination which makes the DRL useless so they turn off.
Also your daytime running lights are in a reflector housing. They shoot light in all directions and are not aimed with a cut off like your headlights are. If you drive with your DRLs on at night, the light output will scatter and glare everywhere in every direction which can blind other drivers..
Your headlight bulbs put out 3,000+ Lumens. The higher the lumens, the more light output. Your iJDMtoy xenon white LEDs probably only put out 250 Lumens MAX. Probably more in the 150-200 Lumen range.
I have the new 6 LED DRL bulbs released from VLEDS.com. They are rated at 725 Lumens and you still can't see worth shit trying to use them as night time driving lights.
