New CREE DTRL bulbs available
 
My friend on the FX35 forum sent me a link. It seems like JLC the people who made the bright reverse lights have invented this new DTRL. It looks very bright HID like. The infiniti forum is doing a GB perhaps we can do one? Or join in with them?

I believe the car in the video is a TL or a TSX. I would love to get these. They are plug and play no need for relay.

guitarplayer16 06-03-2011 09:50 PM

lmfao at the song...


Yup, it's a TL in the video.

These bulbs look very bright!

Locomaaan 06-03-2011 09:54 PM

Aretardedorange 06-03-2011 10:18 PM

Here is the link. http://www.infinitiscene.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=12967

TripAcez 06-03-2011 10:19 PM

Cant they make a GB here? Id rather not have to sign up to their forum for a gb.. :-/

Aretardedorange 06-03-2011 10:26 PM

Yeah I saw we make our own. But if we go with them we can have a cheap price.

ABP_04TL 06-03-2011 10:49 PM

Damnnn, dat is nice

Aretardedorange 06-03-2011 10:50 PM

I believe the owner of JLC is a member on AZ. Maybe he can chime in and give us AZ a even better discount?

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 10:38 AM

bump anyone else interested?

con5tant 06-05-2011 12:04 PM

Interested. Subscribed

SilverSVT 06-05-2011 01:29 PM

Subscribing also, I hate the look of the halogen DRLs.

mau108 06-05-2011 02:11 PM

Interested as well. But must be able to ship to canada.

Thanks

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 02:33 PM

Alright. I will add your names to the GB on the infiniti site. It should be cheap the bulbs. We have 30 people on the infiniti site already.

So add your name after me.

Nrp603 06-05-2011 04:01 PM

how much you think they will cost?

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 04:57 PM

Hopefully cheaper then $40.

vp55 06-05-2011 05:45 PM

So these are just bulbs, no relay or anything else required?

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 05:49 PM

Yes these are PLUG AND PLAY.

ggesq 06-05-2011 06:49 PM

You all can feel free to join any group buy on any other forum but since they are not vendors here, unfortunately, we cannot allow a list to be made here.

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 07:00 PM

Is it okay if we compile a "list" on here by just saying who is interested? Like if people respond saying "I am interested add me to GB list on other forum" or is that not allowed?

Thug 06-05-2011 07:01 PM

i'm interested as well also have a question ....how did he make his DRL come on at night?

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 07:05 PM

To make DRL come on at night just click the stalk 2 times if your in auto. Hard to explain. But mine is set at auto. If you go down one ( one click ) it goes to parking lights and one click after that is just DRL.

As previously stated, you can join any group buy on any other forum. Just sign up over there and join their list. However, making a list here is not going to work. Thanks.

.was referring to the video about the DRL operating at night mine are on auto all the time so i didn't know they could operate at night

con5tant 06-05-2011 07:18 PM

if you just turn the lights to off then the DRL should come on even at night

Thug 06-05-2011 07:33 PM

I just tried this and it doesn't work for me i clicked all settings:
turn all the way towards driver turns everything off
1st click towards dash board turns on parks
2nd click towards dash board turns on auto
3rd click towards dash board turns on headlights
my DRL seem to operate only on auto!! and not at night as the ones in the above video maybe i'm missing something

i just tried that and they didn't work i'll try again with the car running this time to see if it works

con5tant 06-05-2011 07:42 PM

hrmm... that's weird man. mine work all the time whenever my normal lights are off

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 07:44 PM

Car has to be on. Otherwise they don't turn on. I think car has to be in gear. I remember when my car is in P but turned on the DRL are off if I have the parking lights switched on but as soon as I shift into gear they come on.

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 07:45 PM

Ok infiniti forum is saying with current members on the group buy expect bulbs to be in $25-$30. Guys just sign up and join there list. If we get enough people maybe we can get the price to be $15?

Thug 06-05-2011 07:50 PM

feels weird joining an infiniti forum and having an Acura but oh well...lol:thumbsup:

Roger555 06-05-2011 08:29 PM

Any specs or pictures of the bulbs? There are dozens of Cree emitters out there. Also a month or so ago I was experimenting with a custom DRL setup with several Crees in the DRL area but I could never get it to fully utilize the reflector so I scrapped it.

The problem I had was the LEDs while very bright looked like a quarter sized dot when viewed strait on. The reflector was not being used.

In that movie they never show it straight on in the video and you cant tell from the angle they show because a camera at night is always going to exaggerate and make the light bloom.

Hopefully i'm wrong but i'm sure they will try to sell them @ 50/each. They better have a nice heat sink too or they wont last long.

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 08:44 PM

I will try to get the owner to chime in.

Steve 21 06-05-2011 08:53 PM

Thanks for the link, sounds great hopefully it works out good

Thug, it does feel weird driving an acura joining an infiniti forum. I like when it asked which car you drive haha

Aretardedorange 06-05-2011 08:57 PM

LOL I said "other" on that.

tlmailman 06-06-2011 05:11 AM

Thug, I believe that most US version of our car doesnt utilize the dtrl's. Mine dont come on without turning on the headlights.

Thug 06-06-2011 05:33 AM

After several attempts trying different things they finally came on i found that to be weird

EFItech 06-06-2011 06:07 AM

im down i've been wanting to change my drls.......wonder whats the price
