hey Ben. nice..thanks. I changed my interior lights and puddle lamps today with white refactors from ebay. The light looks very nice and white, but I have to admin the dome light looks sort of harsh now compared to the mellow yellowish light from before. It'll take me a few days to decide if I like it, but I think I will.

 

High one more post. I notice the dome light flickers a bit when dimming in and out. Puddle lamps do the same. Is this normal with the 5 LED refractors?

 

+1 well put Ben, finally a diagram that clarifies the DRL confusion.

 

Yes it is, mine do the same.

 

why??? i wonder if the polarg j51ss flicker? im gonna get me a pair for my city lights and side mirrors and the interior the 5 refractors

 

I dont think its normal for lights to flicker....

 

I think its because of how the "dimming" function is handled. See, LEDs are diodes and should be current driven especially if your goal is to attempt a dimming look. However the circuits built my Toyota were designed for incandescent bulbs which can have a dimming look by controlling voltage. So since we are sticking diodes in a voltage controlled circuit we are getting that stepping effect as toyota probably makes the circuit dim by stepping down a voltage and since LEDs are much more responsive you see the steps rather than a flowing change. So my thoughts are this: its not gonna matter what you put in there, all LEDs will step.

 

Anyone had lights burn out? I'm looking for some long life bulbs that are bright

 

will a d2s bulb work for the stock hids?

 

No, stock bulb is a D4S, wont work for longer than 1sec. MAYBE 2sec.

 

ok i just bought a **** load of lights off ebay, 2 168 parking lights, 4 refractor 194 blubs, and 2 3175, so hope you all going to see the finished product soon, all blue leds, but the parking are white keep you posted.

 

2 seconds hahaha i tried :X

 

nevermind.. found my answer.

 

anybody find a place that sells replacement LEDs for the glove box and trunk???

 

Just buy one of these and bend the metal holder a bit, thats what I did and it works fine! Way brighter than the stock bulb thats for sure!
