Guys,
I replaced my DRL's with 6K HB3 9005 + 9005 LIGHT MODULE, got it more then a year ago.
Don't drive my car a LOT, but one of my Lights starts Flickering. I'm thinking its's my Light Module.
Looking at v-leds site, they are out of stock, not sure if i should get one from ijdmtoy, their Modules kind of big it won't fit into "DRL housing".

Any one had same problem???
Any one got bulbs from ijdmtoy and Decoder fits in housing??? or i need to drill cap ?

Thanks.

Update:
Just called vLeds, they said that they are working on new Module and it takes much longer than they expected,
they estimating to be done within 3-4 weeks, but i wouldn't bank on that

Sorry, just saw this comment.

I turn them on at night and keep them off during the day. I think it would be a waste to have them on during the day so thats really the only reason why I used the switch

So I changed the interior dome light in my is350 with a blue LED just to see the difference. Long story short, I decided I'm going with bright white LEDs. Now, I noticed the big dome light changes, but the 4 lights on each side (that actually point in the direction of the driver and passenger) did not change? Is there a different bulb for these?

Thanks,

Veach

The stock LED reading lights? Those will be difficult to change, you'd need to solder on new LEDs. Not worth the trouble IMO.

This write up is awesome, thanks OP! I'm debating between the V-LED interior lights or just getting the Precision LED light kit since it's on sale right now for $35. Anyone use the Precision one?

Are the lights under the dash that light up your feet the same situation?

Thanks,

The footwell LEDs? No you can change them, but it's not a "direct" swap. You can wire a set of LEDs to the oem connection and they will work. There is a DIY for the footwell LEDs here on the forums
