#9005 for DRL/High Beam

exact match with the stock HIDS - love the way they look

 

thx,,, i give it a try

 

Get the fogs too. H11. They look amazing on with the HIDS. Price is great for both too. When you turn on the brights you can really see how well they match the HIDS and they are really bright.

 

Do you have any pics of the lights?

 

Do they burn hotter, i.e., have a shorter life span?

 

same wattage - so I would not think they burn hotter - did mine last february and so far so good - will try to get pics soon - the stock HIDS and the Luminics fogs are really an amazing match - the cars looks so much better with them -

 

Pics would be awesome, I've been waiting to order a set of fogs and DRLs.

Also, it looks like luminics is running a 20% discount on twitter. Maybe even more if you call in!

Also, how bright are the luminics when used as high beams?

 

the promo code from twitter isn't working...any others out there?

 

Might be easier to call them. I'm guessing you can get 25% off. I'm definitely waiting for pics though.

 

any updates with pics? I have been looking for some good bulbs to replace the stock drls

 

MY DRL match my headlamps perfectly. I disconnected the darn things.

 

^ do u have a light on in the gauge cluster because the drl is disconnected?

 

Do they burn hotter, i.e., have a shorter life span?

 

No light at all. Just remove the fuse and back to the future.

 

 

I agree Mr Marco... Before and after pics are a must for those that want to buy.

 

I pulled the fuse for my drl, and then just got some LED's put on for the drl's and changed the HID's to 8000 and on switched the fog's to led just for a color match. I'll post come pictures when I get a chance. Side note about the LED for the fogs...the 68 smd led bulbs wouldn't fit in the housing, so I had to use the 18 smd bulb.

 

I picked up the fogs and installed over the weekend. These are a great match for the HIDs. Will post pics shortly...

 

I'm about to order these and post pics myself.

Question about the 9005 ultra white DRLs, how are they during the day compared to the standard stock bulbs? Also, how does the high beam functionality work in relation to the DRL bulbs? Are the high beams noticeably brighter than the stock bulbs?

 

I got impatient and ordered a set for myself. LuminicsUSA has a cyber Monday promotion with 40% with coupon code CYBER, if anyone else was waiting for a set of bulbs. $37 for the 9005s and h11s shipped!

 

Which ultra whites did people get? The Krypton ultra whites or the standad ultra whites? There both available for the 9005 and H11's.

 

I've heard the kryptons are quite a bit hotter, and the bulb itself larger, so I went with the regulars.

 

Can you post pictures please?

 

I promise to post pictures this weekend if no one does so before then!

 

anyone have any pics yet?

 

I have the bulbs sitting right next to me, but my dealer still hasn't fixed my car. They are expecting completion Monday.

 

Sorry to be a nag... but... pictures? LOL

 

Got my car back from the dealership after almost a month. Installed the lights last night, fogs were definitely a pain to do in winter. My first impressions: not nearly as bright as I had hoped, especially the DRLs. The light given off is still a bit yellow compared to the xenons, but it looks quite nice from the front.

I only had my iphone handy so picture quality isn't great. I will take more with a better camera tonight.

Another of the DRLs:

So, did you change the DRLs or the Fogs or the HID's? it might just be me, but I don't see a picture of the DRL.

 

Any chance can you take a pic of the drl during day time? I see your highbeams but it lights up differently when its just in drl mode.

 

I changed both. I'll take some drl daytime pics tomorrow.

 

To ss284 .Which bulbs did you put in the fogs lights?How do the fog lights compare now to the stock bulbs?I would also like to see some daytime drl pics.do you still have the stock low beam hid bulbs?

 

DRLs in daylight. Pretty terrible light output to be honest. HIDs are stock.

thanks for the pics

 

Is there anyway simple way to have the DRLs to always output 12V? Output is much more ideal when I turn on the high beams during the day.
