Default High beam/DRL light

I know the 3GS highbeam/DRL light is 9005.

I wanted to know if I can plug and play with this bulb?

Or would I need a decoder?

Those bad boys are a beast, do they fit in the DRL socket without modification? If so what happens when you hit the high beams. I have HID fogs so I don't need the light output of high beams but I do want the ability to flash people when needed.

LOL, if anything you should have gotten HID high beams and keep ur LEDs in the fogs brother.

But yeah, those bad boys should fit in the 9005 slot.

HIDs in the fogs aren't as bright as HIDs in the high beams area

Good question! This isn't much of a plug and play well it is but need to mount the ballast somewhere.
