Drl lights
I have a questions about the day time running Lights, ive seen a lot of confusion on here from a lot of write ups , How do the drl ,s affect the the high beams? isn't the DRL bulb a regular 168 bulb like the side markers? so if you wanted to change with a led what would the problem be?

Your high-beam light bulb serves a double-duty as the DRL, also. That is, when you are driving with the head-lights OFF, the LS430 turns on the High-beam light with reduced power to give you that yellowish glow.

I'm "Old School" and an OEM diehard, so I would not likely to recommend any "upgrades". That being said, the DRL bulb is the same high-beam 9005, not the tiny 194. If you want to replace the DRL (9005) with LED, please note that it will flicker due to the reduced voltage. However, there are work-around as presented in the link below...

The 194 bulb can be switched to LED it does not affect anything just the DRL bulb when switched to LED it needs a module to keep it from pulsing and you would loose your High Beam as mentioned above.

I have LED fog lights and to be honest the light output is not great, just my honest opinion. I ran 5k Cree LED from OPT7. There was more light output with the halogen lol but I like the look with my OEM Celsior housing so I have it more for the look then functionality.

I️ got mine from a local auto store but I️ would check with amazon and whichever brand with good reviews and reasonable price just get that. Remember to get a resistor decoder relay so it wouldn’t flicker.
