2010 RX has massive DRL design, does having LED's in them cause a bulb out warning, will I need a module, etc.

Found some great write ups from you guys for everything else!


Thanks

What do you intend to install? Do you have OEM HID? If so then the DRL LED upgrade is just a PNP bulb. If you have halogens then you lose your high beam or you won't have any usable light.

Thanks for the reply.

I ended up ordering LED DRL bulbs, 3k HID Fogs, all LED interior lighting and reverse bulbs. ( have HID's) Should look great. Just wondering if the LED DRL's will throw a bulb our code/warning. I ordered capacitors and wiring harness for the HID fogs too.

hi guys,
just a comparison between ebay 9005 6k LED vs 9005 6k HID, cant decide which one going to choose, LED due to less glare and runs cooler or the brighter HID with glare, still waiting for Vleds interior LED's next week,

Driver side= HID Passenger= LED

3K HID fogs

You shouldn't get an error codes since this isn't a "Can-Bus" type system. That's more for the german cars.


I think the LED will suffice IMO. You're just looking for DRL's and you already have OEM HID for that intended purpose of more light. What did you use for the parking light? I have a 5K LED for parking but it doesn't match anything so I'm back to stock for now.

Also how did you turn on your fog lights without having the headlights on?

hi CometVR4, i think youre right, DRL LED will be enough, thanks, parking light used 6k LED from V-leds, for my fog testing only i have use separate relay wiring harness.

^That looks good. Did you need anything besides the bulbs for the LED DRLs?

vince22

just interior and puddle LED's and xenondepot 5K D4S bulbs, by the way white dome or blue bulbs? I have tried them both.

Nice job vince22. I also like the clear white LED DRL better. HID is too bright. And definitely go white on the interior. It highlights the parchment interior better.

vince22

Thanks Anita, Ok final answer LED DRL and white interior....

kitlz

That's great, vince. Can you tell us which LED DRL bulb you went with.

vince22

Anita, got this from ebay listed as CREE 9005/HB3 LED 11W WHITE 6000K

Did you need any additional hardware for those bulbs, to achieve full power/ or bulb out warning, etc?

Hey Vince,

I have a 2010 RX-350 with HIDs and I really like the look of the LED DRLs.

What is involved in swapping out the bulbs?

Thanks

hi vince22. May I ask where you go the led bulbs for the interior white colored ones? I think it looks really good. Also is it easy to change out the dome lights?

Thanks
