Figure Id add a little contribution to the forum since Im new. I installed the LED DRLs today and wow what a difference.
These are the ones I ordered. VERY easy installation and no DRL warning on the dash!

I think not.
Looks like the same type of kit they're using for the 4G as well: https://acurazine.com/forums/4g-tl-2009-2014-123/working-high-low-drl-smd-bulbs-no-error-signs-ijdmtoy-com-798091/

Wow sweet that looks awesome.
Just wondering though does anyone know if this kit just uses load equalizers to fool the system into thinking the standard bulbs are still there? I guess it's ok but I just always heard of those things getting very hot which in turn gets rid of any benefit of using a lower consumption LED bulb.

I think the "benefit" most people are going for is a bright white color instead of a piss yellow color.
I don't think it has much to do with power consumption, bulb life, visibility, etc.

my question is where do you order bulbs (5000K) or how do you determine the type bulb you need i would very much like a headlight upgrade because from what i hear the stock headlights are good but not as good as an upgraded version can someone please direct me in the right direction thanks in advance

Hello... Good AM!
Maybe its just me, but I like the piss yellow drls. I actually want to get a deeper yellow for mine. Creates a nice contrast with the low beams. jDm yo.

Thanks guys, Im really pleased with the way they came out.
Yeah for sure I didnt care about bulbs burning hotter or anything like that. My main concern was getting rid of the ugly look of halogens. I wasted $40 awhile back on a pair of Sylvania Ultras thinking they would burn more white...i tried to return them haha (Btw, the "before" photo is of the Sylvanias)
Honestly, its hard to say which one is actually brighter. Obviously in comparison through the product descriptions, the V-led kit burns 1,000 kelvin hotter which I can guarantee you youd have to put two cars next to each other to even notice such a miniscule difference.
Congrats on the deal with the LED bulbs you got on ebay but im guessing your DRL light is still on. Personally, I cant stand having any warning lights show up on my dash.

Those would look nice paired with some 6k switchbacks. However, I still prefer the looks of no DRL's. I pulled my DRL fuse and have never looked back.

But the bulbs are great though. It is night and day difference compared to stocks. Just wish it matched..
did I do something wrong?

Have you received and installed these yet. Just wondering if you got any warning lights or have any pics.
Discount from them
