Default Hi beam/drl led kit

Looking for assistance on a 2005 lexus es330? Need help with the proper wiring of changing the old DRL/HI beam to an hid high beam or a LED DRL with high beam option and or install a descent pair of DRL-LED with no hi beam option? Is their a plug n play kit that everything just works without glitches and flashy dashboard lights?? Thanks JDCJ

I don't recommend you go with an LED high beam as its not nearly as bright as an incandescent bulb.

HID High beams are not recommended either because of their long warmup time and the ballasts don't like being turned on and off frequently, so you can't flash anyone.

If you still want to change up the look, try a halogen high-beam bulb with a different tint on it (Silvana Silverstar, for example), or you could add auxiliary LED running lights and disable the DRL.

The ES330 doesn't have any bulb dash warning lights for the front headlights.
