9005 LEDs for DRL
I recently had a 9005 halogen bulb burn out on the driver's side DRL location and decided to replace both with a set 9005 LEDs I got at the local parts store.
The LEDs installed fine but they won't light up. I know there is power going to them because I retested the connections with the one halogen bulb that worked.
Any one have an idea why these LEDs won't light up? Maybe I am missing something.

For RX300, DRL are actually high beams connected in series through relays.
Check if your LEDs will work with 6v. Also check the wiring [circuit diagram] to make sure the + and - are properly fed to LED [LEDs require the proper +/- connection].
Lastly the LEDs give you whiter light but not necessarily better visibility. If you are not satisfied with light & visibility you can try ultra bright Halogens. The reflector in RX300 and its focus is shaped for halogen light bulbs.
