Default Daytime running lights

Hey guys,
I got a 2008 LS460L. I replaced the daytime running lights but they flicker and don't stay on.. I'm looking to change them again and need some advice on brand or which works best. I want 6000k in headlights and fog lights. Any recommendations?

Most here have had great results from The Retrofit Source. Here: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/

They flicker because the drl output power is about 5volts (less than half of full power) which is why they flicker...

Ok so how can I eliminate the flicker? Would a load resister help?

Not a load resistor... but more of a capacitor. . (Like the decoders mentioned above) they hold a charge building up to 12v then dispense steady power to bulbs or ballasts
