Vleds V3 Triton for DRLs? Don't try this at home!

As I promised before, I was going to maximize the output of stock DRLs by fitting Vleds V3 Triton in there, even though Tritons are not meant for 9005 HB3 housing which is in our DRL's and also have different wiring.

To make it short, it took 4 hours of labor (without my personal participation it would take twice as more), included rewiring power cables, machining 1mm off the Triton bulb base (because it didn't fit into the bulb socket inside the headlights) and making ugly fixation bolts to fix it to the headlights because oem 9005 HB3 bulb is much wider than Tritons base.

And the most funny part in the end - luxmeter showed that Tritons aren't much brighter (if brighter at all) than my older Vleds LED towers (both with voltage maximixing relay also by Vleds). It could be either faulty luxmeter cus visually Tritons are somewhat brighter, or the bulbs are actually equal in brightness. But color match with my Triton parking lights is 100%, and I'm really crazy about color match

Was it worth the efforts? Who knows But anyway don't try this at home
