I recently installed the LED DRL lamps. Seems now I have no high beams, when I press the lever for high beams I see the DRL led lamps light.

I was not aware thr DRL had anything to do with the High Beams.

Any others have this happen?

That's what happens when you install LED DRL bulbs which are also the high beams. I stuck with halogens to avoid that problem. Right now I have Litech super brights and want to change them to Putco Mirror Whites soon as I figure out how to get the stupid DRL cover off.

ya i have heard that with LED as DRL u loose the high beams..but if u want the high beams back u need to buy some sort of a adapter/unit.. google it and see what is that "thing"

Not sure what "low beam option is"

I purchased the Vled HB3 9005 H10 9145 5K

While I do see the Leds light, they are not even close to my original high beams.

I guess the normal DRL are run at lower voltage and full voltage for high beams?

Does anyone know of a led replacement that will have high beams?

jerry, if you have the LED headlights, your DRL is also your high beam. Put in LEDs and you have nice DRLs but lose the high beams. If you read the specification on the V-LED website, they say you will need a 9005 DRL module and relay harness. I'd give them a call.

I was thinking about getting LED DRLs myself but am waiting to see if they are going to make their platinum bulbs in 9005 size. I like the look of them.

I installed my original bulbs. Cannot find any phone for Vleds.
