Did you end up installing the Sylvania LED DRL/high-beam bulb in your HS250h? If so, did you end up losing DRL functionality? I was looking at LED bulbs for the high-beams, but I am currently on the fence about whether or not I should install LED DRL/high-beam bulbs if I would end up losing DRL functionality.

Hello.
I also want to replace the headlights with LEDs. I have read many articles on this subject. What I didn’t understand was that some lamps are with a radiator and a turbo cool fan, and some are without. They write that in some cases those with a turbo cool fan interfere with the audio system. Is this true, has anyone had this problem?
Personally, I'm considering these options...
Please advise what to choose
thanks in advance

I installed various LED bulbs with turbo fans. There was no interference with anything.
LEDs get very hot . Passive radiators are unlikely to remove enough heat from the LEDs, will cause early failure. Colling fan is a better solution.
Let us know how bright and focused the SEALIGHT bulbs work.

I have multiple sets of LEDs that are many years old, and still going strong. I've replaced 1 set, when LEDs were still "new" to the market in the last decade.
All others' I replaced pre-emptively as better tech (or chips) came out but removed in good working order...

I installed the Fahren and they were bright but there were some dark areas. I also had to raise the headlights. To raise them up there is a 7 or 8 mm nut on the back of the housing that you turn counter clockwise to raise the headlight housing. It is silver color and stands out against the black plastic headlight housing.
I then got some 8 sided LED bulbs - but had to raise the aim even higher to see farther down the road. I think they are acceptable now. There is a broad bright field of vision. Even with the aim much higher nobody has flashed me as if I had my high beams on.

In the end, I'll probably end up with this.
They come with a good discount and I think to order.
Will they install on the HS250 without any problems? Just waiting for delivery to my country for a long time, I don’t want to make a mistake ...

They install easily, just make sure the post is vertical so the LEDs face each side. Most of them allow you to rotate it into position. They install by lining up 3 tabs then inserting it and twisting. You just need to try it until the bulb is in the proper position. Then you may have to adjust your headlight angle as I described above in post 20.
