How bright are these compared to OEM DRL LED's on high end cars? A good DRL should be like high beams, you wouldn't want to use them at night.

not very bright but noticeable. They are blue white in color and if you have hids, you would want to get 6000k bulbs to match the color output of these drls. First thing you need to do is power them before you mount to ensure all the leds are working...some of my first one came DOA...once you know they all work, them apart and re-enforce the solder points...then when you put them together, put a bead of silicone on the edges and them screw them tight. Otherwise you will have water get into the housing and then short the leds out.

The brightness is just enough to be visible during the daytime. At night, it is not as bright as the headlight or the OEM DRLs. IT's more of an accent lighting. I hope it helps.

They are not that bright. Basically each led light it's as bright as a dome light

The current draw is very low which is great, but I don't think they would be very bright as headlights. The ones I got run under 10 watts and they do not have a focused beam.

Lights are great, the only draw back is the high beam low beam design. When looking at your lights they will seem to point in one direction due to the orientation of the actual led chip. Depends on your reflector in your headlight.

The light is actually brighter than the stock halogen bulb. The only negative thing is that the high beam does not seem to be as defined. I use this on my motorcycle along with Vision X lights that I use with the high beams. They do perform very well.

They will not be strong enough for regular headlight usage. In fact no led product out there is strong enough yet except JW Speaker lights. But they don't make fitted bulbs like conventional halogen. Don't waste your time trying to find LED headlights yet... Still a year or two away... Your best bet is to go to theretrofitsource.com and get HID for headlights or their halogen bulbs... They are the best and well priced. If you still want to try and run 9006 LED as headlights then you will want to run resistors even if you don't think you will need them because you run the risk of melting your wiring harness or something worse.. Resistors work to trick CANBus systems but also work to dissipate heat which you will need to do. Happy Hunting.. You should enjoy theretrofitsource.com

no they stay the same brightness but my headlights are brighter than the DRL anyway. That connects to the battery and goes off and on when the car is turned on and off.

to be honest i am not sure, however just as any other LED they are quite lasting especially the power consume so low and not heat producing to the housing, like other viewer said they are last long ass time, (though i am not sure, but i agree, cause it's LED NOT HALOGEN which cause not gas or heat) i bought two pairs (set of 4) a set for DRL parkking and other for back up my DRL is everyday use whenever the car operated and its working fine since i bought it. The value on this bulb else where would cost you $30 jtech is selling lower cost and i trust them with the products they sell. I've order many LED from them all from jtech brand they are great. to be honest i am not sure, however just as any other LED they are quite lasting especially the power consume so low and not heat producing to the housing, like other viewer said they are last long ass time, (though i am not sure, but i agree, cause it's LED NOT HALOGEN which cause not gas or heat) i bought two pairs (set of 4) a set for DRL parkking and other for back up my DRL is everyday use whenever the car operated and its working fine since i bought it.

Technically the wattage of these bulbs (100 watts) is above the average standard halogen headlight bulb wattage (55~65 watts), so you could get a ticket if a police officer was to inspect your car looking for "illegal" headlights. I have been using these bulbs as my high beam lights for over 6 months, and since I only use my high-beams when there are no cars in front of me or coming toward me, I don't foresee having a problem with law enforcement. If you plan on using higher wattage bulbs as your regular headlights or fog lights (my fog light bulbs are also 80 watts), I would suggest you just make sure your headlight housings are aimed low enough that you do not blind oncoming drivers and risk getting pulled over.

You would need a DRL harness which is basically two 50ohm resistors in parallel. These lights are not bright at all you would lose your high beam functionality. I would advise you to buy Cree high powered LED bulbs. You can get them from VLEDs or Subispeed.com. if you still want to go ahead and buy these I would buy the DRL harness from iJDMTOY.com.

This is just s head lamp. If your vehicle didn't have them before adding these lights will not give you that function. Canadian models use a resisted high beam for drl. USA models do not have drl from factory.

I put these on 85 cj7 and worked perfectly. They are much brighter and look good in my opinion.I have heard if you change the front turn lamps to LEDs you might have an issue with the flasher but I cannot confirm.

I have these for an 07 Corolla that has daytime running lights, and it does work - I think the DRL part is more related to the car/ecu programming than the bulbs themselves. The lights will run slightly less brightly with the DRL as opposed to when the headlights are fully on

Yes fits good, makes a more plasma look to the lower DRL/Fogs. Bulb life however were about 1+ yrs before they started going out in sections. Overall the look is awesome over stock! Sorry, yes fits NICE! Note: these bulbs are a tight fit but just keep the bulb straight when inserting in the DRL housing and lock!

I thought they were way brighter than the stock interior lights. They are also slightly bluish compared to the stock yellowish.

Hmm I have the same ones and they work perfect for me. It sounds like you may want to try to get your waranteed. When all the led's are lit these are super bright.

Call your local auto part store and get the headlight number,if your oem light is h6024 you are good.also this headlights run a lot hotter and brighter than normal oem lights.make sure your wires are ok/decent otherwise you won't see much of a difference(lights will be dim) also spect a low life spam. from what I heard and experience in older cars they will last you about 6 to 8 months before they burn out

I personally would not black out headlights as a safety factor. Typically making headlights brighter is the trend recently.
