My local buddy has those in his car. They are a bit more blue than mine, and have pretty solid output...but definitely less bright. What's funny is that my VLED's are stronger than my low-beams when you are staring directly at them..I have the choice to DIM them but I haven't.

Well I got mine installed on my lunch break a few minutes ago. I like them and they were pretty easy to install. On my next break I will upload pics and possibly a video. Plug 'N' Play resistors.

To be clear, you didn't have to do anything other than plug in these bulbs with the resistor pack in-line and the result is DRL in white and amber turn signals? You don't have to add a constant 12v source for the DRL?

No a 12v constant is needed for the DRL portion.

Can you take a picture of the wiring?

If you don't wire it as DRL, it uses the white as a parking light right (like the lower intensity amber with the stock bulbs)?

Yes that is correct

^just to clarify, white LEDs come on with parking light only, and flashed amber-off when turn signal is on? Also, no splicing with resistors, just connect plugs? (sorry, might be obvious question but have not seen resistors light this before)

So this isn't a DRL and turn signal all in one as the title states. This mod changes the parking lights from amber to white but leaves the turn lights amber. Seems like you could just install clear bulbs instead of amber to get basically the same effect for a lot less money.

Great news! Glad we have an alternative!

You're not going to find a incandescent bulb with the type of output the VLED produces. Nor, is the refresh rate as crisp as an LED bulb.

You're not very bright at all.

Our interior lights are clear but yet everyone still swaps them out for WHITE LEDS.

According to you, clear incandescent bulbs will produce the same white color as a white LED. So why does everyone swap to LED lights for the interior?

Makes no sense right?

Smh.

It is a single bulb so how do you plan on making the clear bulb blink amber?

The parking/turn bulb mod is separate from DRL mod, which would be accomplished by cutting the parking light wire from this socket and wiring to a constant or accessory ON fuse so it's always on with the car.

I got a set of white/amber LED for cheap before I found out about the ijdmtoy ones with built in resistors, so I'm going to try those harnesses from Amazon that Dreamer posted above.
