Stilline, my LED strips quit working. Could it be the resistors? I have disabled my DRLs and instead use the LED strips that you and I have and now they quit working. I have checked the battery on the remote and it looks good. I have 2 remotes but cannot find the other one.

Yours still working?

It was the battery of the remote ON-OFF. It is working again. As a result I bought a dozen of the A27 12V battery!

Yey!

Good deal! I noticed the remote I've used since day one was getting a little sketchy, so I grabbed the other unused remote and I'm back like new. I'll replace the battery in both remotes someday down the road.

Is that an FSport logo on the side?

Talking FSport Badges

Yes, it sure is. The gunmetal color of the FSport badges perfectly match the bars in the grill and both sets of wheels, the GSpiders and the GS wheels. There aren't enough of these cars in my area for anyone to know the difference. I've even had a dude approach me at a cruise in and tell me that my Lexus FSport was really cool. I giggled a little inside, but sincerely thanked him for the compliment.

Now I wish I did not put in my side markers so I could do the same! Darn...

StillLine do you have spacers?

Yep, sure do. 25mm rear and 20mm front. Looks perfect to me.

Mine are still working great after two years and dozens of power washes with a high pressure sprayer.

I finally got around to in stall my LED DRLs.




Looked pretty cool





Installed using 3M double sided tape and bracket provided.





Pretty bright





Like Sorka suggested, I connected the pos to the black relay, upper right pin.





Connect Neg to chassis (not to battery terminal)





Added in-line fuse for protection.

That looks great. I prefer that look much more than the yellow COB style! Nice work!

You guys are lucky with the 06 and up, you have this nice little area in the fog lights for a nice little LED for DRL.
