Did you only need the harness for this mod or did you also need the resistor that vleds requires?

i bought mine IJDMTOY.com and it came with harness and what they call decoder(resistor) so all you have to do is plug and play.

Will this work on the car as well? It's a super cheap replacement compared to the one you got. Has anyone tried these or know anything about these?

Doesn't the daytime running lights work on 1/2 the power of the highbeams....how does this work? Doesn't the leds need fulll power. I can understand the LEDS working on the highbeams but what about the daytime running lights.

I did this replacement too. It was a direct swap with the high beams. I was stupid and got the blue lights and if you are thinking about doing this from ijdm.com the blue ones are very illegal. They look good but it is a pain and now im regretting doing this cause I need my high beams. Plus to use them you have to keep your high beams on so they dont run naturally during the day.

Namngo. The DDM LED products are actually decent. I had spent a lot of money in the past with my JAG S-Type got the full PHILLIPS HID headlight system for $500. Got the DDM system for pennies for my GS and can't tell the difference. Also they offer lifetime on their merchandise. You can't go wrong with that. For the DRL I actually put in PIAA bulbs looks pretty classy with a little goldish tint when on, when you light up the high beam it turns bright WHITE similar to LED but not quite. But I have noticed it helps when high beam is needed. Although the DRL/LED looks nice it's quite annoying for the others on the road, IMO.
