Premium LED DRL: Base vs F-sport
Hi, Lexus specs two different part numbers on the premium LED DRL, one for the base model and one for the F-sport. I think they behave differently, I'm trying to do an upgrade so I need some help identifying.
Long story short, I bought two premium DRL individually (Left and Right) via eBay. When I tested them on a tester, they behaved differently.
One light does not have the low power DRL LED and requires two Ground wires to light up the normal "nike" white DRL LED. The other light has both the normal white DRL LED and low power white DRL LED, but requires only one Ground wire to power up the normal "nike" LED.
So to make my questions simple, does the F-sport model comes with a *Low* power white nike LED? Or is it the base model that comes with a low power white LED on the premium DRL?
To try it on my car would probably require me to take out the bumper, but I really don't wanna do this just to figure out which one works.
(I'm onto a pretty big project here, will come back with possibly a DIY later that may interest quite a few base model owners)

If you add the bulb type DRL, there are *THREE* types of DRL offered for the NX in North America. I was talking about the two nike / premium type of DRL. See different part numbers below.
I believe they are wired differently, one may come with a dim/low powered nike DRL. I wanted to figure out which one is for the F-sport and which is wired for the base model. (Lexus does not stamp the part# on this DRL, so it makes buying this thing on eBay very difficult)
