Hey everybody I have a 2010 IS250 with the stock DRLs turned off and I have used the VLEDs 5SMT 6000Ks to replace the city lights and make the headlights match better. I need high beams bc I drive in rural areas often and it makes it easier to spot deer at highway speeds... so the LED DRL replacement is not an option for me. Has anyone found a city light replacement that would be significantly brighter than my VLEDs so that you could see the inner-headlights during daylight conditions? I'd like to be able to drive with the parking lights on in during daytime hours and have the city lights be bright enough to light up the inner headlight housing so people could see it on a bright day. I saw silverstar 194-168 bulbs... but I'm just wondering if a bulb that size could possibly be bright enough to make it visible in daylight. Whats the brightest you guys have found?

Thanks

 

We sell all kind of LEDs! Let me know what do you need!

 

I highly doubt the Silverstar bulbs would be any better than what you currently have. Unfortuantely, because of the wiring/power limitations, you won't get anything plug and play nearing the brighness of an LED DRL.

For starters, read this: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ive-guide.html

I haven't tried these yet, but check out: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED-B...94378-1-2.html

The new 3chip 5SMT's from V-LEDs are about twice as bright as what you have right now: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED-B...94388-1-2.html

I have also tested HP flank bulbs, which work surprisingly well. They're about on par with the 3chip 5SMT linked above in terms of brightness, but they don't have a forward-firing LED. http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...68086-1-2.html

 

Seems to me that if you put something bright enough to see in the daytime, at night everyone is going to think your high beams are on and flash you. I have the 3chip 5smt from V-Leds for my city lights. At night they give a nice glow in the high beam reflector, but you can't see them in the daytime. The 68smt mentioned above might give you what you want.

 

^ Not quite. The light isn't focus into a beam so it doesn't blind oncoming drivers.
