ahhhh this sucks i have the older version where the lights are half powered.... when i got mine over a year ago it was kinda a pain in the butt! they first sold me two DRL harnesses then that didnt work only one ligth came on and DRL light was on then they said i needed the resistor set up so i got that back then but the lights are so dim that even during the day time its kinda hard to see that they are on pretty much a waste of $$ i wish they had some more of the new version available then it would be worth it

Did you mean you can't plug the resistor harness right into a halogen bulb? I would agree that wouldnt work...
I couldn't imagine why you can't use this harness to power HID's or regular bulbs. The OEM DRL sockets just switch the relay on, and then there is a full 12V provided to each socket on this harness... It's not like the current draw from a regular bulb or HID would cause any type of problems with this.

I would like to state though, that while the harness could work with regular halogen bulbs or HID bulbs, I forgot to mention that these bulbs do burn hotter than the LED's, so you can run the chance of melting that area of your headlights as the original halogen bulbs ran at a much lower voltage, so be warned.

While it's do-able, it's not recomended.

here's a few quick pics I took of my TL-S.. Loving those Daytime Eyes!








I know they look blu-ish.. but it's Crystal White (in between 5k & 6k)... same goes for the Interior LEDS.. those are 5k LEDs.

What you guys think?

I believe he said that those 9 were the only "only harness" sets they would be selling. After that, they plan on selling a Harness + DRL LED kit. for like $89 or $99.

WhiteTLS, mine are 5k, I am guessing yours are 6k? Mine look very white to me in person. I have 6k bulbs inside and they still don't look as blue as your interior, maybe because I have the black/grey leather. Strange... I plan on doing the backup lights next. Man I love VLEDs! I used to hate my DRL's now I LOVE THEM!

You can but you will get an error light in the dash. This harness cancels the error light and allows FULL power to the DRL's.

are you using a DSLR? if you shoot in RAW, you can color correct your photo to the flourescent lighting to show a more accurate color of the LEDs. Im pretty sure the pics dont do it justice.

Harness isn't for sale by itself anymore, and I don't believe it will ever be again, just that limited run. Now, you gotta buy it with the bulbs.

Maybe if you e-mail VLED and beg, but I doubt it...

I installed mine today.They look great but I noticed the driver side is a bit more brighter than the passenger side. Its a minor difference thats only noticeable if your looking for it. Does anybody else have this issue?
