CJITTY, so I see you have the Datasystems controller. So why are you keen for Carista to try and add a suspension-lowering option to their App?
I think that addition to Carista would be great for others who don't need to spend $600 to $900 for a controller if they can do it through the app...

Latest mod: Powered LED DRLs

Pros:
*Very Bright In Daytime
*Crisp White 6500k color
*Fanless, less parts to fail
*Module and LED drivers fit in housing
*No more giving up high beam for nice DRL color. In high beam mode they are very bright.

Cons:
*Too bright for Dawn and Dusk periods
*LS uses PWM and thats why module is required to avoid flickering. Module puts leds at high beam brightness even in DRL mode. Not all cancellor modules are the same. I specifically had to use the PWM version from xenon depot
*Very bright, but not quite the long and wide spread that halogen bulbs provide for high beam, but it is about 75% there which is fine for my limited use of high beams at night
*So far no heat issues but will keep an eye on it since the dust cap seals everything inside housing.

Parts Needed:
*Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Module via xenondepot.com $30
*Rolinger 5th Gen Hi Power LED Bulbs via Amazon in 9005 bulb type $40 pair

YouTube Vid of them in action

Looking good and I like how it's minimum points of failure setup you got going being fan-less as well. I'm sure the video although great doesn't do it justice for how it looks in real life.

I've been seriously considering stealing your look for over a year now. I've got a grey pebble beach 600. But I just can't bring myself to justify the mods, even though the car looks so crazy good.

Looking great, CJITTY!! Can you turn on the LED and HID fog lights at the same time?

BTW, it's great to see you (and your car) came thru OK from Hurricane Harvey's damage in Houston
