Installed the ijdmtoy LED DRLs ...what a PITA
Easily the hardest bulb change out I've ever done on a vehicle. I don't know how you guys managed to get the decoders in the dust cover either, I just couldn't get it so now I've got slightly flickering DRLs and they are a lot bluer than I was hoping they would be, hopefully it doesn't look riced out

lol I think I may end up doing the same thing honestly, from the pictures online the "cool blue" looked much more subtle than it does in person, at least to me.
Gonna take the car out of the garage and see if the flickering is as noticeable with the sunlight, I'm hoping since they are only on during the day that the sun will take away some of the blue tone and you won't be able to notice the slight flickering as much.

I actually did get the slim decoder but I still couldn't fit that sucker in there. I might attempt again some other day I just had stuff I needed to do today and had to give up trying so I could actually get everything back together in time. It looks much better outside and I don't think the flickering is too bad really. Its weird from a distance you can only notice the light you aren't focused on flickering ever so slightly. Up close if you actually look at the LEDs you can see the pulse but I suppose it doesn't bother me too much. I need to have someone drive it behind me so I can tell if you can even notice from a car. Here is a pic inside the garage, not nearly as bring out in the sun.

RCM, it's a bit blue (at least for my taste).
consider the other LEDs, the xenon look "6000k" i believe.
I have them installed (without the decoders)--it produces an ambient look, doesn't noticeably flicker, but the light reflection "vibrates," if that makes any sense. they look good, and high beam functionality is there. I was not aware of the slim decoders or simply they were not in stock at the time.
to add, it is imperative that if you decide to keep the decoders, you ALWAYS keep your moisture guards on (dust covers) because they protect your lights from condensation..just a heads up.

Ya I have no idea what the rating is on them. Ijdmtoy only had two choices which were "brilliant white" and "cool blue". I will probably end up buying different bulbs. Like I said outside in the sun they don't look so bad but on an overcast day (like the rest of the day was here) and in the garage it looks borderline rice :-/
