Finally got everything installed...
I think you guys have the term DRL confused with the city lights/parking lights (wedge bulb). The city light only comes on when you have the parking or headlamps on. The DRL's which are your high beam bulbs come on when you release the brake pedal (granted you did not have them disabled by your dealer via LPS).
If you're getting flicker from the wedge bulbs, there are one of two things that are happening. 1) Poor connection/contact with the bulb with the socket, 2) LED wedge bulb is of poor quality.

The parking/city/wedge bulbs are also LED's, but they require no module. I'l include another pic just so you know I'm talking about the DRL's.

These are my DRL's, running at full wattage with the module installed. I think Btwanky's pics might have been of his parking lights, but these are my DRL's.
You know, I was a little concerned about that when I got them. I've been pleasantly surprised at how bright the LED's are when you are using them as High Beams. I've run on dark roads at night, and didn't notice too much of a difference from the stock High Beams.

^^ I see what both of you guys are saying...
To sum it up, none of the OP's pics (btwanky) show an illuminated DRL Bulb..
My guess is they were either turned off at the dealer or his post#2 pic was taken with the car off or the car on with P-brake engaged..
He sure did change his city light/parking light (194 wedge bulbs)
mm767cap - when you engage the HighBeams, do your DRL LED Bulbs produce more light or do they just fire up to the full power with module as shown in your picture.?
Thanks

They run at full wattage regardless of whether they are operating as DRL's or High Beams. There is no change thanks to the module.
Yeah take a look! I really like mine. SUCKS that you have to go back in though if you decide to change them out. If it makes you feel any better, I had to go in twice too. I changed out the PL's and the DRL's, and then found out about the module and had to go back in and add it to the DRL's. I really like the end result though. Worth the effort.

Does the module cost extra $ ??
&
Does it fit all inside the bulb access panel? or does it plug into the DRL ignitor??
Thanks Joe Z
I probably didn't describe that correctly, but it's pretty obvious once you are in there what you need to do.
Here's the link to the part.

When you are talking about your DRL's, are you sure you aren't referring to your parking lights? These are the DRL's. The parking lights are the smaller bulbs in the same housing and show up when your lows are on. The picture makes it look like just the parking lights are showing up. Maybe its just the image though...


Thanks.
