Default LED's tried looking

D4S and D2S the same thing but it seems hard to find, Phillips makes some LEDs but they are all H model bulbs is there a way to retrofit something so I can use the H bulbs? I am really not keen on the xenons if I can help it. Why not pay a bit more and get something that uses less energy and last a long time.

Buy a quality bulb and you should have no problem getting 8-10 years out of it.
oh if its that long then not a problem I thought it is going to be a couple of years only.

well i just ordered 2 osram CBIs for me low beams. Doesnt solvethe high beam DRL issue coz halogens are nonsense. So i emailed morimoto this is what they said.

Hey Jay,
The LEDs in the high beam / DRL shared socket can sometimes have issues with DRLs that have a higher voltage than expected.
Since some DRLs operate at more like 10V than half voltage (6V), the LED bulb won't show much of a difference from 10V to 12V like it would between 6V and 12V. Because of this, it's always best to check the voltage of your DRL with a voltmeter prior to ordering, as you may have a very bright DRL using a rather voltage-insensitive bulb like the 2Stroke, that can't vastly differentiate output levels based on a 2V input difference.


Anyone can answer the question?
