Updated pic for you:



This photo was taken with a DSLR in "proper" lighting as opposed to my iPhone photo before to which your comment was referring to. Just showing the 04-06 people what it looks like to have LED DRL lights in the stock housing.

do you still think it's cheap / out of place?

 

^ Those look pretty bright. Where are they from?

 

superbrightleds.com .. not sure which model it was but they are HB4 LED DRLs and IIRC they are about $5 each

 

anybody else have just 2 LEDs on the front work and only 2 rows on the LED length work? i just instaleld the kit from JLC Lightings and the LEDs are not working correctly but I installed it just like other people did theirs...any advice??

 

picture of what i was talking about in the previous post...

 

successfully installed the kit from JLC after some help from Jack at JLC (posted a youtube video to help me out) and from member KB1Spec. the thumbnail below shows the stock vs JLC's 68 SMD LED module. the color looks great and the LEDs are bright but not too bright. i'll take some more pics in the daylight soon if anybody is interested

 

nice, can you tell us where you grounded it? or maybe take pictures to help others out in the future

 

i will open a new thread in the next few days since i took 10 or so pictures on things i learned in the process (correct grounding, where to mount, that type of stuff). i'll post the new thread link in this thread when I create it (and learn how to post pictures that aren't attachments haha)

 

Nice, would love to get these!

 

it's easy to post pictures

1. go to imageshack.us
2. click the 'browse' button. go to your picture folder. you can select either just 1 single picture, or up to multiple pictures at the same time (ie. 10 pictures at the same time, just hold down CTRL + Left Click on each picture u want)
3. for "image resize" make sure it says 'do not resize'
4. click 'upload now'
5. if you uploaded 10 pics, you will now see 10 diff pictures. click into each picture 1 at a time and on the right hand side click the blue text that says 'Embed this Image'. it should drop down to 4 links. you want to copy and paste the one that says "FORUM" to here.

 

Did ur kit come with a decoder to fool the system and not have the internal DRL light turn on in the inside panel?

 

They usually have a module and a relay harness to by pass the MID error message on the dash and also give you full 12V power instead of 6V. But the drawback you will lose your highbeam while the DRL are engage.

Here is my set up from JLC Lightings for my 4G
Im also currently using 18 SMD LED Bulb but will be upgrading to CREE which is 2X brighter than conventional SMD LEDs

 

The difference looks great!

 

You shouldn't lose your highbeam, as the high beams come from your regular headlights (by virtue of being bi-xenon projectors).

Just curious, why didn't you spend the extra $5 and upgrade to the 68 SMD LED bulbs? I would do that, instead of the CREE bulbs. The CREE bulb DRLs Group Buy has been a total shitshow on the Infitini Forum. I'd give the corresponding Azine thread a read, before I pulled the trigger on it. Caveat emptor.

4G don't have bi-xenon. Unlike the 3G TL.

I was initially testing there DRL LED and that time they ran out of 68 SMD LED. I am in the process of swapping out my 18 SMD today and they going to test out the CREE LED/SMD Combo for the DRL LED.

 

Here are some CREE/SMD LED combo bulb I will be testing out. Got these from JLC lightings

I only tested out the amber. They also have red for brake light or signal and also white for reverse or signal

Bulb Type 3156 and Bulb Type 7440











CREE SMD/LED (Left) SMD LED (Right)

 

The 9005 bulb type for the DRL will come out soon and will be testing once it is out. These work perfectly for the 3G because for the 4G there is a shield in front of the high beam assembly. Where as the 3G high beam dont have a shield in front.

 

I know not the right thread for this, but its aligned to the topic of interest.

I want to replace my reverse lights. Are these bulbs going to fit?

They will. I got these for my reverse light

 

Where are those from?

 

Did an install with LED DRL's on my'06 tl, didn't work; added resistor, worked in temporary setup (tape splice, etc). Finally installed fully, now not working.....believe most likely is my DRL module (heard some older tl's had drl module probs....)

 

thats weird for you guys with the ijdm kit, cause I have the orange DRL kit and my light still isnt on...guess I got lucky!

 

So some of u guys got by with plug and play, no kit and no error code on dash? Lucky. I got the ijdm 120 SMD that I'm so anxious to get installed but trying to figure out which harness and decoder to get or if they're needed at all. Might get JnCs next year so may not even deal with it all now. Was really hoping for a plug n play.

Damn, just got the kit instead. Is it an easy install for someone not so handy?

 

Fairly easy install you can pm me if you have questions on installing to a 3G

 

^thanks. I ordered the kit that's $19.99 from jdm. Will see how far I get.

 

Just wondering if you installed the kit yet and if you got the drl light?

 

so do we know of one kit that works properly as a plug n play?
I have read about a couple different kits but sounds like some people get lucky and others dont
