Your high beams will have a nice color, but in DRL mode most likely you will not get the desired effect, as they will run at a reduced power. Still would like to see an improvement. Take a picture with an old/new for a comparison in DRL mode.

Those bulbs are very pricy, let us know how they work.

These are the ones I'm using and they are about twice the power/light of OEM and are whiter. The high beams are awesome (same temp as OEM HID).

Kos, if they use twice the power of oem, will they burn hotter? Do you have pics with the lights on?

Koz

They are only 35 watts more then OEM (65/100w).

You have to remember that when using them as DRL the voltage is reduced to well below normal and they come with free high wattage adapters. The only time they are getting full voltage is when you use your high beams. Again with the adapters there is no problem. I've been using them in my IS for over two years with no problem at all. The only way to determine the difference is if you take pic with one OEM bulb. It is about twice the temp of the OEM but it is not white. The high beam is awesome and looks exactly like HID (brightness and temp). I refuse to lose my high beams. I need them for popping slow pokes and driving on non-lit back roads. I pull a travel trailer.

The lights should be here Tuesday so there should be pics up by Wednesday. They are a little expensive so I hope to get what I pay for. I too need my high beams to be good and bright for the back country roads and slow pokes on the phone in the fast lane.
Koz, can you tell any difference in the DLR from stock bulb?

Koz

You will see the difference but it will not be that much more then the OEM DRLs. It is worth the cost to get the amazing high beams alone, even at $50. I've spent a lot of money in lighting.

Well guys I put the new lights in tonight. I am very satisfied with the high beam very clear color, but as everyone thought the drl color is still slight yellow. It did improve over the silver star ultra lights it replaced which were slightly better than stock. At some point tomorrow if it stops raining I will take some day time pics of the drls. here are some pics
the passenger lamp contains the new Luminics the driver contains the silverstar ultra. the parking lights are led so they look kinda blue but are clear. The pictures are really not a good reflection of the actual color but it gives you an idea. The last picture shows the size difference. It really is 30% larger.

Koz,

How is heat from bulbs you have selected? I am using also 5k from vleds but not as bright (still very bright, but no heat).

I have just ordered new Amber 7443 for turn signals to replace the previous generation. LEDs are closer to the base so they should reflect even better even with the same power. Will post some pics when those arive.

The forward facing running board bulbs have a heat sink. I have checked all the bulbs and there is no problem with any of them. I also have the dome light bulbs in the running/parking lights (above the head lights) and the running board bulbs in the reverse lights and all are working great without any heat problems.
