They're amazing and bright. My friend has the morimoto DRL LEDs from them, they're bit on the pricy side though, as you can see 120$. You can expect them to be VERY bright and last a long time though.
Some people buy bulbs that cost like 20$ for the pair from china and then complain about it not being bright enough or failing.

You sir, seem like you're willing to do it right the first time and spend that dough. I like that.
I will say though that there are bulbs that are cheaper and offer similar brightness.

The bulbs themself are plug and play.
You'll need a DRL harness to accompany the bulbs. I like the iJDMToy harness, it does the job simple and well. Cheap too.

do it.
high beam on our Type S doesn't use this bulb so you don't have to worry about that.

I'm guessing the retrofitsource will offer this harness that's needed as well as the LED bulbs?
