Do you have the '06 and up headlights? If the LED's are not mounted inside the housing (where you would have to open them up), then I don't think I'll do them. I looked at my SC, GS and RX and none look like there's room inside the housing.

I can't wait to see how you make out.

are you going to tie them to the headlamps or with the dRL relay kit that the venders provide.

Got them today. Will install on the SC first, then the RX.
Those are the same in the photo? Those are very bright...$14 is an awesome price. Hope it's easy to install....may need to do to ours!

Here's my simulation on the SC:

DRL or Park Lights, still do not know where I will tap the power from. Or even a switch for on demand use.

For the simulation, just direct to the battery. I just taped the LED's with scotch tape. These are side shine LED's.

There was another outfit on Ebay that sold a relay kit for the led's had a sensor so that basically it would act as a DRL.....

Careful. They are getting dated quickly. I saw a brand new Audi SUV with factory ones the other day and we all laughed. it looked like something BoBo the clown would drive...

They are sealed inside a clear rubber-like strip
