LED DRL Questions

[vt_hokie2008]

looks good. my DRL's came in today. trucks in the shop though...f'd up transmission.. hopefully ill get it back by the weekend.

That sucks. I think I'm going to try to find some new DRLs that have more LEDs and are more white. Any suggestions?

Looks good Alex!
Did the install go smooth?
To gain that output back you will need to find an LED bulbs with numerous LEDs.

The install was easy, just a pain to take it all apart for such a short ordeal. I'm hoping I can get to the DRLs without taking it back apart, but we'll see. Those do have a LOT of LEDs, but I don't think I want to spend that much on them. I have 30 LED in there, was thinking maybe some 60s?

i really dont think its that big of a deal. i think yours looks fine. you wont even notice the on with the headlights anyways. ill let you know how mine go when they get put in. i pad $5 a set. bought 4 sets. they have 24 LED's. if you want brighter, why not just go with a cree light?

I like those second ones with the white base you linked better.
You could just keep them how they are for now (like I did_.
If they still bug you in a few months, then you can upgrade them.
The 120 LED ones are expensive, but they will literally double the output from where you are now. The 60s won't do that.

Yea, I'll live with them for awhile and see if I can get over it or not. Next up I'm wanting to paint my emblems body color

Got all my led's in. Drl's, turn signal, side markers, rear tail, brake, turn signal. Drls look to match perfect to my headlights.

How hard was it, and how long did it take for you all to break it down to get to the DRL and turn signals?

It takes me about 10 mins to get the bumper off now, probably 15 the first time. Then three bolts on the headlights and they come out, swap out the bulbs and put in the resistors (I soldered, so it took a little longer). You can probably do the whole thing in an hour I would say, most likely less. I've done it 4 times now essentially.
