Default 2007 Lexus GS350 daylight saving lights

Hello, been a while since 2017.

My car has on right side of daylight saving light burned out.

i am thinking getting LED like the oem headlights LED.

This can be good on this car? https://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts...SABEgKl_vD_BwE

The link you posted is not LED. OEM headlights are HID. LEDs are great. They run fine on my car but I disable the DRL since the LEDs does not handle low voltage. It will cause them to flicker in DRL mode.

I think if you change the DRL to LED's you would lose the high beam function.... I think.

Depends on what led bulb you get. I didn't lose the high beam.

Usually the DRL's run the halogen high beams in series, which means they each see half voltage during the day. If an LED kit is complete and comes with a relay, you won't lose the high-beam function, though your LED's may be on a full brightness during the day which can be blinding.

If you use a standard plug and play LED, it may flicker during the day because of the half voltage (or not turn on at all), but the high beams should work fine.

One option is to do an independent fog light mod and use those as your "DRL", and then disable the high beams as DRL and convert to LED.
