Recommendations to swap out stock DRLs for 07 TL?

I know that there are quite a few posts about it but I wanted to create another one, with hopes some answers most new users like myself can use. I have recently been trying to swap out my DRLs with plug n play LEDs which claim to have load resistors built-in. However, Ive gone through 2 different pairs (from carID and wholecellularusa on Ebay that both were "bulb out" and about to return the second pair.

Could ya'll recommend any white lights (plug n play) or LED kits (including harness/load resistor that werent too difficult to install)? I just can't stand the stock DRLs anymore. Also, does anyone know what is the wattage on the bulbs (9005)? Pictures and links to the lights would also be wonderfully appreciated too!

Check out a thread by member The Machine. I used his method, which was an IJDMTOY set up with relay harness and load resistors. I then swapped the included bulbs out for some nicer bulbs from VLED.

Plenty of pics in my progress thread show the DRLS on. Although my set up is slightly different because the stock lens that had been in front of my projector is now in front of my DRL.

Even though I don't have any more to my DRL's, I do have front and rear VLED V3 Triton signals which are incredible lights. With that said I would really look into VLED products like Kurt suggested. Infact I wonder if any if their V3 white units will work in the DRL's...humm I may look into this myself.

They don't make them in 9005.

Curious about this as well, please let me know if you end up finding ones that you like. Still confused as if IJDMToy or VLED is the route to go.

ijdm cheap quality but works, bulbs are shit though.

VLED higher quality and more expensive.


I went the VLED route and it works fine for me VLED Harness, load resistors and bulbs. ACURA HONDA LED DRL HARNESS
