Default I think this is complete bulb swap :)

D4S 6k x 2
H11 6k x2
9005 DRL Hi power led x2 with decoder
194 flank vanity mirror x2
194 foot light x2
194 courtesy door light x4
194 parking light x2
194 dome light x3 (2 front ) (1 rear)
194 flank puddle light x2
921 reverse bulb x2
29mm festoon dome trunk light x3 (2 on the side) (1 in the hatch )

That's much it pretty much it , I didn't swap the turn signal out because I like how it much they match the mirror
Interior was loaded with this pads which they come with universal socket

I think you forgot one

Looks nice. You have covered everything. Which brand H11s did you use? I'd reconsider changing the blinker bulbs. The color difference is barely noticeable. I have the Silver Visions in the back and Stealth in the front. They're not the same bulb size for the 450h in contrary to what the manual says. Found out the hard way At least I have replacements rear blinker bulbs if I need them.

See for yourself. But don't ask me which side is OE. I forget

Yeah I didn't want to change the signal , I mean I could have done it with the Leds I even have the resistor to prevent the hyper flash ! But It flow so much better with just stock front /mirror/ rear signal that's why I didn't bother to tap the resistor into the factory harness ..

Neat, I think I have most of the lamps swapped out. I used Vleds, yours do seem brighter.

With your new 9005 DRL, do you have high beams?

Sorry to be ignorant, but I don't know what that is. I see you listed 9005 DRL Hi power led x2 with decoder.

Is this the bulb you are holding? Where did you purchase that?
What is a decoder, hard wired option?
Does it fit inside the housing?


TIA

It's all good man , when u run led as DRL it only give out half of the output as they normally would so u would need to get the DRL module to run it property without them flickering ..

I bough those DRL at my buddy shop , if u want i can ask how much his selling them for ..

The hell with it I went ahead do the led signal as well

You will need resistor to prevent the hyper blink , other wise it's gonna look funny !
