Lexus GS 350-9005 DRL led bulbs
I purchased some A/M DRLs bulbs and they flicker when they're on. When I use them for my high beams, they work perfectly. I've purchased 4 different types, some with and some without the decoder. None work correctly.
My question- Which brand works if any and is there anything special needed to prevent the flicker? it's a 9005 led bulb. Thank you in advance.

Search online for an R4 decoder.
I'll make the required mention that even though your high beams will "work", they're no longer useful as proper high beams and may actually be illegal.

I was worried about that as well.... Good thing I purchased my first and only set of decoder that worked. Seller on eBay is "partsbox" and it was $9.79 per decoder (at the time I purchased it earlier this year) and you need 2. Try them. Hope this helps.

Pictures shows here are the 28 leds 9005 bulb from V-LEDS, and youtube video is 2015 Cree led 9005 bulb with the same setup (wire harness and decoder). Anyway I removed it and return to stock with H.I.R bulbs, because with old 28 leds not bright enough for night time use, and 2015 cree led too bright as DRL.......

Interesting. Very different from my module.
Mine simply plugs in between the harness and the bulb.
No battery and ground connections for me.
I live and drive downtown 95% of the time. When I'm roadtrippin' I swap back to halogens I keep in the trunk.
Takes 10 mins.

Not sure if you switched out the wedge bulbs, but I noticed those were the ones that flickered. If your looking for LED high beams, I ordered from HID Powerhouse (a sponsor)
They looked something like these:
High beams are bright and definitely work as high beams. It seems on cold starts sometimes the LED chip bulbs (168 style bulb) will flicker, but once the low beams are turned on they do not flicker.
