im confused, i thought our highbeams were the DRLs...so isnt it just the 9005 bulbs?

jcat_350

The OP did an HID kit on his high beams, using a relay to get rid of the DRL (50%voltage) function.

Just search for any d2s 6000k bulb. I recommend Xenonking.com, Xenondepot.com is a forum sonsor.

yes, it is the 9005 bulb. The DRL function is simply the high beam running at 50% voltage.

So, the DRL doesn't come on when not using High beam? I guess it doesn't come on.

Question: My reverse light is a 921 base on Sylvania web site but OP is using 7440. Are they the same? I have a 03 GS300.

When (not if) I upgrade to 01+ tails, I'm planning to use the

Of course that is the most expensive because 5W High power is some serious buisness. You could probably get away with less, however that would be my recommendation for the best.

Normal power LEDs have a clean white look to them, but going with a High Power setup is going to give an incredible spread of light.

Is everyone clearly understanding how HID High beams and the Daytime Running Light situation works? Let me know if anyone is confused and I can try and do a small writeup to clear up any misinformation I am not running any type of relay or module to Disable my DRLs, I do not have DRLs with my HID high beams, but I've never found DRL's to be useful anyways, and my City light setup is bright enough to notice as is. Plus I roll around with all lights on day and night :P I'm working on a plan to sneak a city light in the low beam housing behind the turn signal area.

Alternative for City light. I didn't find the one I replaced bright enough.
here is a list you can pick from:

http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/f...m/1/menu_num/2


I did the outer brake light. It was not much brighter than the bulb it replaced. However, the color is more red instead of orangy red/bright red when you step on the brake. Also, your brake warning light will come on.

The license plate light was just a little bighter than I wanted. I would go with something with less lumen rating on it.

It would be cool if you can split the wires to from the blinker to the side marker and use one of the bulb I listed earlier (blinks alternatively with amber and white). I don't know if the bulb will fit...but it their is room - shove it in there and seal it

The side marker is cheap anyways. Just destroy it if you need to replace the led.

Nice work, I love your setup.

I know very little about exterior front lights and there are a bunch on the 2nd Gen GS, I am a little confused, the two smaller inner frontlights I guess are also called "city lights" and are the DRL as well as high beams, looks like there are 2 bulbs in each of those smaller inner front light housings.

Does this 19.99 LED throw any light or just illuminate the inner DRL light housing with a brighter LED type light which would still be nice? Is it just a simple screw in/plug in type deal or do I have to mod it in any way to get it to work? I noticed when parked in front of a big glass window that one of my bulbs from the headlight assembly is out which is a fairly weak regular light that is on when you turn the HID headlights on, is there a LED or bright light for that light? I might have to run outside to make sure exactly what light that is as I am a little confused trying to think if it is in the smaller inner DRL assembly or the larger outer assembly that holds the HID headlights.

Is your wood in your interior stock? It looks a little lighter and a different nicer shade from mine, I like the color but maybe it is just the lighting in the picture that makes it look different.

Jackson, your car looks great! The price of the bulbs does seem higher... Superbrightleds.com seem to have less expensive bulbs, and the twist-lock NEO4 instrument bulbs for behind our radio & HVAC controls. I think their white is like 5500ēK, though. What are your thoughts?
