Hi guy, I first got the 2011 headlights, and didn't like the 100% bright at night because it too bright for my taste, but I got the 2012 replaced for the bubbles defective, and now the new 2012 LEDs look much nicer even at night and for some reason the new 2012 leds not as bright compare to 2011 leds?, but this is what I like it now compare to the 2011 So i just order the 5 terminals relay and would try to do like 100% bright switch to 50% bright when low beam on, it should work like the OEM but the more I look at the new one is the one I like and also I am kinda lazy to take the bumper off so I need your though about that?
here the 5 terminal relay below I would try to hook up?

this is the add on fuse that I use to run from IG2 fuse

this is where the add on fuse replaced the 10amp fuse on the top as in the pic

when you run this wire make sure you have to cut the green wire from the bottom af the headlight which from three wire came out from the leds dust cover, after hook up the leds will turn on every time the car start

 

if you can find me which wire is "low beam +12V wire", I may give it a try and let you know. Coz you know, I have to re-do my installation and take the bumper out

 

sorry I didn't focus on the low beam 12+ volt, therefore I don't know which wire? but it is not hard to find out, all you need the light tester and stick to which ever wire has power and switch back and forth the low beam switch if the tester light goes off and on too that is the wire for the 12+ volt low beam

 

you don't have light tester? get one and probe it all!

 

come on it takes less then 10 minutes to take off the bumper

 

Whatever you like, but I like them at 100% day and nite.

 

100% at night and day

 

Yeah after the new 2012 leds installed, i am kinda like the new look now it not too bright compare to older one (2011) it one it just right for me, and also iam kinda lazy to take the bumper off and put it back it the pain

 

so how do u keep the LEDS running 100% brightness day and night?

 

but isnt the green the 100% light output wire??

 

Im confused....

I thought the 2012 headlights have the LED at 100% brightness all the time, in DRL and lowbeam mode

 

I had a dealer install the new 2012 lights that I bought from Sewell on my 2006 IS. Sewell told me they would function just like the 2012 models. They said is was simple plug and play. WRONG. The problem is I want the LEDs on 100% of the time when in "auto" mode during the day. (In other words, I want the LEDs to function as my driving lights) Right now, in auto mode during the day, the yellowish driving lights are on and the LEDs are off. (In auto mode at night, everything is fine) What's the best way to fix this? I've seen on this thread to have the dealer disable the yellowish driver lights and connect the LEDs to the ignition circuit. Could someone give me a detailed, step-by-step way to do this?

 

You can have the dealer turn off those yellow DRLs off. They usually don't charge for it. As for your LEDs to function as true DRLs, you need to do a little modification in wiring, or if you don't want to do any wiring mods, then just turn on your parking light and the LED strips should turn on.

How much did the dealer charge you for installation (if you don't mind sharing)?

 

i think some people have a fear that they're going to take something apart and not be able to put it back together again. so they find an alternative instead and say they didn't want to.

 

The low beam 12v+ is the thicker blue wire going into the headlight at the bottom. I wired mine up for 100% @ ignition on, then 50% @ low beam and I love it!
