DRL question
I recently just changed my drl/high beams to led bulbs. But i notice I had to also change a t10 bulb to led as well. The t10 is used as daytime running light instead of the 9005 led bulb I purchased.The 9005 bulb only comes on when I turn on the high beams. Is this correct? I read the other thread and people were able to use the actual 9005 led bulb as the DRL. I didnt even notice the t10 bulb until I was changing out the bulbs. Any input?

I have LED's as my DRL's on my LS430 and I used actual 9005 bulbs. There is a harness you will need to get for the bulbs to work properly.
Here is the setup I used from V-Leds.com: http://www.v-leds.com/Vehicle-Specif...70276-3-1.html
They also have a 5000k LED setup if you want pure white bulbs.

The bulbs were ebay ones. 120 smd led 9005 bulbs i got for 24 bucks. and they flicker for drl but highbeam is fine. I will be purchasing decoders for 7 shipped for the pair. it is the 50w 6 ohm resistor so it should fix the flickering and be brighter. I may post pics to compare with resistor and without resistors.

Old post but I was trying to save space and re-use something older.
Just got 9005 drl's which I have no problem with other than there is a slight flicker, that I can tell, it's very quick and you can't really tell from a distance; but with the high beams on it works fine. I have resistors from a previous install but I don't know quite how to wire it/them on a LS430 9005. It wouldn't be like the 'kit' that people have now. Any input on how to wire the resistor directly to rid me of this problem?

I just ordered a resistor kit. So hopefully that will solve the problem. As I stated previously that the high beams work fine, and I know that the drl runs at 30% maybe? So with the resistor kit should solve the problem and will it be as bright as the highs or just get rid of that slight flicker?

You need to step up the voltage. A resistor will limit voltage/amperage which is not what you want to do.
