Default 05 ls430 - led drl

I want to change my stock DRL lights to LED.

Does anyone know if 9005 LED bulbs will work without the decoder?

My old ES330 required the decoder w/ 9005 LED bulbs but i do not see any options/packages online.

Anyone know?

What do you mean decoder? I've seen kits that used something like a resistor to do it.

The DRL's are the high beams running at 6 volts. If you change to led you lose the high beams. You can disable the factory DRL's via TechStream and run aftermarket units. This will look better. Phillips makes a nice set with their own controller that automatically turns on when you start the vehicle.
