Do we lose high beam function with the LED bulbs?

Hi,

Upgrading your DRL / High beam bulb to an LED bulb will result in very little light output which will most likely render your high beams useless. You may want to take a look at one of these 9005 halogen bulbs to enhance the color and maintain light output.

its the second picture not the last ....and it is on full power when you use the module so it don't get no brighter even when you flip the high beam switch......so this mod is choice either you want to loose high beam for looks or use halogen bulb and keep your high beam.

Ok I've got a question... I already have DRLs from the factory (Canadian car). If I get a pair of those LED bulbs from V-LED or iJDMTOY, will I get output like the first pic above or the second pic? And do I just need the bulbs or will I need a special module to regulate voltage on the LEDs?

I do NOT have my highbeams on in any picture. But thats how your highbeams will look if you turn them on. Using this DRL kit will disable your high beams, but if you have HIDs you shouldnt need them. I dont.

All of the pictures have only my DRLs on. The highbeams are NOT in the ON positon.

You need the module for it to work. Every car has DRLs from the factory but they are the ugly yellow color. Thats because they are your highbeam bulbs, but running at a lower power. Thats why replacing them with this kit will get rid of your highbeam function.

All halogen bulb will be yellow when in DRL mode you can only see true color if you flip on high beam...
