Lightbulb LEDs for a DRL

Anyone know of a good, high quality LED DRL for our cars that will not flicker and retain a high beam function??? Ive tried a few and Im always getting the same problem. If I cant go LED I guess Ill go with a halogen bulb I guess...

I don't know how you would retain high beam function with LED's. LED's are either on or off and don't change much with voltage adjustment. The halogen bulbs run at half voltage for DRL and them ramp up to full voltage voltage for high beam. The voltage increase makes the halogen bulb reach full brightness because more current runs through the filament. I have 5k hid lows and fogs. I just deal with the stock amber drl. My projectors are bi-xenon so I don't have to have inner high beams, but the more light the better, so I left them alone.

There's no current LED bulbs that will give high beam output.

Hi,

Have you guys tried VLEDS? They're quite pricey but have a great selection with LED bulbs, very well built and great company too. Here's a link to their 9005 LED bulbs for DRL's. They would only vary in brightness or lumens. Give us a feedback if you ever go with them. Thanks!
