Need advice on DRLs, fog lights, and led DRL add-on
 

I'm probably being a bit lazy here, but I'm not seeing what I hope to see. As far as the "yellow" drls, is there a solution to have both white DRLs and still have bright lights? I know there are LED solutions for drl, but don't offer bright lights. Fog lights, I think this will be much easier. I think I want to go with the white (I should say that when I say white, I think I mean 5000k). What are the best options for this?

Okay, for the DRL add-on, I'm talking about a short light bar that was posted in this thread in post #17. https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-...ection-877905/

Does anyone know anything about the lights in that pic or how to replicate them? Thanks for your help!

you will get mixed opinions on the route to take. I took my own route and came up with an LED DRL solution that did not touch the headlight housings. Putting in LED bulbs in the highbeam location would provide a DRL however there are mixed opinions as to the Hi-beam functionality being retained.

I chose to use my stock foglight housings since they already had broken lenses. See my thread here:

They have been working pretty solid since i did the retrofit. also the camera shows a ton of glare, but i have yet to experience anyone highbeam me for getting "blinded". These lights serve perfectly for a DRL, the fog aspect is likely less than the stock halogen as far as output.

They are wired to be on with the ignition and independent of the headlights.

I like the fact that they are in the stock fog light location and don't look as out of place as a bar for example. My opinion of course.

I did a similar retrofit for our TL SHAWD using LED housings, and i need to re-wire them to be on with ignition only. heres the thread:

hope that helps. best of luck and post pics of your progress.

Thanks for taking the time buddy! I do try and do research before asking these questions, I've just been swamped at work and haven't been able to do a lot of searching. I like the direction you went with on yours, they look great.

I would prefer to keep the DRLs in the original location because I'm thinking of adding and LED bar next to the fog lights. I came across these bulbs today: Philips Diamond Vision. I don't know if anyone has tried them, but I'm going to do a little research on them as soon as I can. The are 5000k Halogen bulbs.

Check out VLEDs. I've been using 5K LED bulbs in my TSX for 2+ years and my RDX for about 6 months with neither one having any issues. The DRL is about half brightness, high beam is full brightness. VLEDS

Thanks, I'll check those out! I've recently read about Philips Diamond Vision Halogens being really close to 5000k. I wonder if anyone has tried those out.

I checked out those VLED's. They aren't cheap. Unless I searched incorrectly, it looked like they were $200 a pair. I would need more than a 2 year warranty at that price.

Here is a link to the Philips Diamond Vision bulbs I mentioned. Has anyone tried these out? What are your thoughts whether you have tried them out or not?
