Default Mod questions: Led/carplay

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone here installed LED amber turn signals on their IS (2014-2019). If so, can I see how it would look like? (Preferably the redesigned 2017-2018)

I want to convert the stock turn signals to LED.

And another question is that is it possible to make the DRL light into a turn signal too like you see on the RX or NX?
Last question: Anyone successfully install apple carplay into their IS?

Thanks,

Heres a pic of my baby.

I posted a video of how the LED turn signal bulbs look in my thread it’s on the second page.

I haven’t heard of anyone getting the DRL’s to flicker with the turn signals and I’d bet it’s probably a VERY expensive mod to do and super complicated most likely not possible.

Also, a few of us are rocking the 10.25” screen from 4x4 Shop Canada. It’s a touchscreen and runs Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Here is the link to it and the link to my Apple CarPlay review of it.

The RGB DRL Kit i self installed had switch back turn signal integration. Although I turned off the function, its a very cheap, easy mod given enough time and patience. cost 215$ USD If i rememver correctly
