Now he just needs all the reworked bushing from FIGS to put that bad boy back in the car and kill the wheel hop.

There are proper headlight LED replacements now, up to 80w. I was just looking at them yesterday after driving home at night in my Supra wishing I had HIDs. There is an interesting thread in the CT200H forum about LED headlight replacements.
Essentially, that bulb acts as the DRL at normal output. When using high beam, it gets brighter. All I did was replace the halogen bulb with an LED bulb. The ebay link states "fogs" but it differs from car to car. For us, 9005 is the DRL bulb.

Some of us turned off the DRL. I wouldn't put a low wattage unit in my high beam spot, but that's just me. I'm looking at the 50w units since they will also function as a high beam with 2700 lumen output. The low wattage ones aren't even 1000 lumens.
