Default 6k 4DS HID lights with matching SMD 5 LED parking lights

Well ,second mod to the car after I installed the tint. Swapped out the stock 4300k HID bulbs for 6k bulbs. What a difference! The light output slightly diminished, color is a more brilliant white with bluish/purple hue on the focus line instead of the yellowish white color. Lookes very menacing in person as the inner lights match perfectly with the head lights. Wanted to take a head on shot, unfortuantely the camera phone can't adjust the color of the lights properly without it being to glaring or to dim.

Hope you like, I know I am very happy with them.

How do you get both the DRL and headlights active at the same time? I've also seen some mods with the fog lights so all three lights are on.

I have no idea, maybe some others can chime in on that mod.

for the DRL are you referring to the parking/city lights next to the grille?

The mini bulb (parking/city light) is always on at night. Your high-beam bulbs (also known as DRLs) are off when you turn on the headlight. The OP is taking a shot of the mini bulb being on.

If you want all 3 on at the same time, you need a relay kit, tapping off of your high beams, so that your fogs stay on at the same time.

Where can I get a relay kit? Would I be able to put HID in the high beam and be able to have them on and off? Only issues I was thinking about is with the DRL might interfere with the HID unit... Have try to put LED 9005 in and they were flashing on and off...

Running a relay kit, your daytime running lights (high-beam bulb for clarification) will act normal, except it's 100% brightness through DRL and high beam.

The way this works is the relay will take it's power source via battery, it will use the DRL/highbeams signal as a remote wire.

You can get a relay kit from one of our vendors. Or visit :http://www.hidpro.com/

Call them and order the relay kit, shouldn't be too much, tell them Norman with the Lexus GS sent you, They should hook it up.
