buy the V- LED relay so your LED's don't flicker.. and get the 3w DRL off ebay i hear that works great. i have the 1watt but it's the same DRL besides the fact it has more watts.. the 1 watt you won't see in daytime which is a good thing. then when it gets a bit darker outside my car looks meann with the partial blackout headlight housing

one thing diff is that you have a bunch of LED's which you can see reflecting off the housing. the 3w i spoke of is just one strong LED firing straight

LED headlights, low beams, are only a few cars now adays, i believe new priuss have them, LS 460l and the audi r8.... i think don't quote me.

i doubt they will have an aftermarket equivalent anytime soon. because leds just don't project on the road.

.... but don't quote me hah

A little off topic, but since you all got V-LED DRLS, I thought I would ask it here.
How do you guys get the cover put back ont he back of your headlights since the V-LEDS come with a module to prevent flickering?
If you dont put back on the cover, you'll get condensation when it rains, like me :/

The module fits best in the lower corner closest to the fender.
