JLC Lighting DRL LED with Module for '09-'12 TL

THe DRL LED are holding up. No flickering or error message. I think 18SMD is good enough but the 64 SMD tends to be 10-15% brighter. So the cost of 18 and 64 are not much.
If you are going with CREE for the DRL, I would say it is useless. Because on the high beam housing you notice closely there is a cap or a shield in front of the bulb. The reason why is to prevent brightness on on coming traffic. Unless you take apart the headlamp housing and take out that cap then yes it is workable. I am in the process of doing that in a few weeks to clear my headlamp and also take out that cap in front of the high beam housing.

They are modding with a built in resistor to get rid of the hyper blinking. We tested on my car and when it signal, it was hyper blinking. So they are doing a new batch with a built in resistor.
If you are just using as a brake light or reverse light then you are ok. I tested them too and for the brake like is pretty bright and so is the reverse light.
Oh on the side note, I modded the signal with bright led strip and used a yellow tint film as well. So no need to mod the circuit board. Will put everything back up later this week.

Been really excited about this bulb lol.
I'm hoping it does a relatively good job of filling in the reflector [for day time].

I have the CREE reverse and in the day time it's just a dot, I doubt the cree alone would shine nicely for the 3G front and rear turn signals.
But I didn't feel like purchasing the LEDs--cause if they didn't light up sufficiently than I'd have to return them. I didn't feel like spending 50 or so bucks on that 'maybe'.

How did your vinyl hold up so far?
My buddy's [on his bmw's angel eyes] shrunk a little but it was good afterwards.
