I emailed them and they said you don't need any resistor or anything to make them work as DRL and high beam. Still not sure if they will fit inside the housing with the cover

According to the vid on the site, they're universal. Looks promising though. Might have to get a set. I'll do some research first and see what I can find as far as reviews

I'm not too knowledgeable about our DRL's, but I believe they are the same bulb as the high beam, so wouldn't that get rid of them?

the problem is that led operate at a lower voltage and the use of decoders are needed as well as loss of the high beams. but if these do what they say then I need a set.

According to what they say it should function normal without any kind of decoder and still have high beam

I was looking at that on there site but I also didn't see anything for our application. (9005, 9006) and it is weird that they have load resistors for them as well for 20 bucks, but I am guessing it is for if you want to use them for turn signals... I want a set but......

Someone actually makes a kit for our DRLs that doesn't cause the car to throw a code. I have it on my LS, I just can't remember who made it. It comes with a decoder box.

well that's the thing, I don't want o drill holes in the bulb cover. that's why I was looking at the v3's. and yes they said the resistors are if you use them as turn signals

yeah the ones posted above does require modifications because it is hard to get all that in the limited space in the housing, that is why these will be heaven sent if these work the way they are advertised I want a set but I need some clarification.

Doesn't require any modification. The entire assembly fit inside my headlight housing assembly without drilling anything.

I have the same kit and you don't have to modify as OSU said. It's a pain in the butt to do the driver side but the decoder will go inside the light housing.

Hey man, wait a second. You mean to tell me you were able to get all the piece parts to install the V3 Triton inside your headlight assembly for the turn signals or for your high beam? Or are you not talking about the V3 Triton? I want to get two pairs to use for my front and rear turn signals. The rears should be easy, plenty of space I imagine, but that round cover on the headlight housing seems like real estate would of been very tight...post up a video of these in action please
