So I’ve contacted retrofit source according to them the morimoto 3.0 coupled with PWM module from GTR https://www.theretrofitsource.com/gt...MOD?quantity=1 will give us working drl/ high beam.

post some photos when you guys install them.

Good find I will check it out as they are local to me. Just picked up a 2011 AWD to add to the stable. Do not like the yellow DRL/high beams.

So this particular PWM module will be able to eliminate flicker AND dim LED bulbs in our 460s?

not only the PWM module but also the bulb, apparently everything works together the pwm module is 50 so I’ll just get it just in case but the tech difference is the bulb the old 2.0 bulbs won’t work

50 for the module and 175 for the LEDs, so 225 plus whatever shipping costs. It looks like the LEDS are not DOT approved for use as headlights, but can be ordered as "fog light" use only.

I just replaced my high beam halogen bulbs with some LED's off ebay for 20 bucks. DRL's work fine, highbeams work fine. Not sure why you would need to spend that much.

Looks good and the DRL's seem to be white and not yellow. The LED's are 6000K based on the ebay link you sent. What is the color temp of your HID's?
