Exclamation 3 x Halo+LED DRL...how/where can I mount these ??

Ideas ???

Would be looking nice...in the fog light enclosures maybe ??
These light can be delivered with blue , yellow or white halo rings and the halo's can be implemented as yellow turn signal lamps when needed...

Input please

I would love for someone to come up with a factory looking LED for the fog lights. That is really the only thing on the car that looks dated.

Hi,
What sleekmr3 is doing to the LS460 is way beyond my skills :-(
But in the foglight ???..have never used them anyway....and these 3 LED lights would double up as both fog lights AND DRL's ..... anyone of You making a try and do a write-up ??

Why go to a detailist in Japan for Yen 8500 (w/todays exch. rate is US$ 79) , when I got a price of US$ 55 for a set FOB ( that is ex freight....Free On Board) ......

Regards
Arvid

Those aren't anything more than projectors lens with LEDs behind that to light them up. They don't actually function as lights to help illuminate the road. Only for looks.

I miss the halos I had on my 7 series and would LOVE to incorporate them into my LS' headlamps, even if it required some surgery to do so. I hope someone finds a mod to do it.

I see that. But did you look at the picture on the right? Have seen what a projector light looks like... Like an entire part? This does not throw a beam. Just for looks

I tend to agree... the 50W/ 6 ohm is the rating/specs on the resistor that prevents hyperflashing, errors, etc

I would not replaced your OEM lows with the aftermarket ones, the OEM ones are far superior as you can see below...

That's what it's for. Almost all the Japanese multi projector retrofits use these...and they don't function as lights to illuminate the road. Just for show. You then put another projector somewhere else that actually functions as the headlights

Yup... they are being represented as LED DRLs, so it's all good. Interesting to see how people might utilize it
