DRL Slim Decoder 06 IS350
#3
I got mine off ebay. $30 for the LED bulbs and decoders. First set they sent didn't work well enough and flickered. They sent out (at no extra cost) larger ones that have been problem free for over a year.
Unfortunately, I don't really have any useful info. Just that yes, you can get cheap working decoders that will (with patience) fit in the housing.

Thanks for the info. I'll think I'll order some if you guys aren't having overheating/melting issues!

I believe some of them are built into a heat sink housing, I would not recommend using them without the heat sink.

BTW, the decoder's housing from JDM do not serve any heat sinking purpose (just a simple plastic housing). It is better to safe and wrap it in high temp tape to protect the light housing. I actually checked my decoder after about 6 months of usage and no sign of over heating.

Some people said the flickering isn't that noticeable but i could not live with it. It was somewhat annoying especially when you drive behind cars with very reflective rears (i could only imagine how annoying it is for the people in front of me).

Not sure if this is what others have noticed but the flickering without a decoder looks like a strobe light (not to mention a flicker even with the decoder).

Yes, it looks like strobe light up close. The measured the voltage put out by the decoder and it was around 14V (vs. around 6V from OEM DRL). My JDM decoders do not flicker at all (a good test is check it with another car's rearview camera (i.e. park behind another car with rearview/reverse camera) and you could see the flicker as it is extremely sensitive to flickering
