Nice I like it alot only thing is I wish it would look a little more whiter. It looks a little blue to me but maybe it looks different during the day time? Also did you use the bulbs only or the vleds module?

Fellas...no module. But here's some info for ya. They are a nice bright white but not like a see in the dark bright you know. It was just a simple swap, twist the bulb and replace. BUT YOUR HIGH BEAMS SUCK NOW!!! Or maybe i'm just used to the brightness of my lows, But when i flick on my high's i can barely notice a difference.

hmm...so doesn't the module..allow it to use half the energy? But w/ yours its giving the full power? I figured the high beam wouldn't be that good of use...but I live in the city...and my HID fogs are good enough

AT its a constant flicker. But its soo fast it looks like its one beam. When you get close up you can see it blinking. And i'm getting another trunk mod done at the same time as the paint repair. When the paint dries for the suprise the paint for the trunk bar will be done at the same time.

The bulb will be running better with the module...it will look brighter! If u get the VLED ones it will be pretty bright u probably could drive with the DRL's at night kinda bright. My piaas run much brighter with the module upgrade! But if you like the flickering, hey...its all G!!! And yes, the HIGH BEAM function is pretty useless, but hey thats why u got HID's on the lows and the fogs..if u did that upgrade! Good luck!
sorry to bring this forum back up but i have DRLS and i am wondering whats MODULES you are talking about get back to me please

click on the link thats on the first or second page that goes directly to the vled site module page... its pretty easy, just look for the link and the page displayed should have some vled modules on it, if not then its the wrong link.

i think its on all LS430's maybe its just the way our wiring power runs through. I've seen them on other cars, and they don't flicker at all....
