I bought some 1 W LED 9005 bulbs to replace those sick looking yellow 1/2 powered stock bulbs.

i place both led bulbs into the high beam harness and they don't light up together. if i remove one led and replace it with the stock 9005, the led lights up.

can anyone chime in why both led can't light up together. it seems like there is not enough power to light up the led bulbs.

i guess it's serving it's purpose in that the DRL doesn't show, so it's currently a dummy bulb. How do I get both LEDs to light up??

Thanks

 

you might mention this is on a 2nd gen IS.

also - try posting in the 2nd gen IS gen forum [if the mods don't move it], you'll get 10 times the views there.

 

it's actually for a 2nd gen GS. Thanks for your help mike.

 

you know what? I think that's the problem -- these were for the IS....maybe the GS uses a slightly different bulb for the DRL?

 

the gs uses 9005 for the highbeam which is the same as the IS.

 

Yup even the my wifes ES uses a 9005 bulb for the high beams. But I'm going to make mine yellow.

 

I'm assuming you've already swapped bulbs on each side just to make sure it's not just a defective bulb ?
