50W 9005 CREE LED Daytime Running Light Bulbs on Lexus ES350

Posted on by

The 2007 and up Lexus ES350 uses 9005 sized bulbs for the daytime running lights and it is quite obvious to see the benefits to upgrade to LED lights. The factory incandescent halogen bulbs provide a dull, yellow color that is nothing special or noticeable. The 9005 LED bulbs that this ES350 has installed turn that around by providing a more crisp and stylish HID-like color that is sure to draw attention driving down the road.

These LED bulbs use ten 5W high power CREE Q5 XP-E LED diodes per bulb and all operate together for a combined output of 10W. Since there are eight CREE LED diodes on the side, it provides the 360 degree shine to fill up the housing while the two on the top project light outwards thanks to the magnifying optical lens. The lights are also rated at 6000K so they are our classic Xenon White color so it would go great with our other Xenon White lights. Keep in mind that even though these high output bulbs are very bright, they are not intended to be used for high beam lights at night. Your high beams will still operate, but they will not provide you the same amount of light output as they once did; these are more for aesthetic purposes only.

These lights would not work by themselves so they require our Lexus R4 setup which includes a pair of canbus decoders to prevent issues such as flickering and error messages. Using the 9005 CREE LED high beam and daytime running light bulbs by themselves may cause issues such as partial light up, flickering, and errors. The setup is completely plug and play so it requires no modification of the wiring and is very easy to install, but make sure you follow the instruction guide that comes with the kit so you install it properly.

50W CREE P13W LED Bulbs for the Chevy Camaro Fog Lights

Posted on by

The P13W is a new style of bulb that is slowly becoming more and more popular among many car manufacturers. It was first introduced on the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro with factory HID headlights for the daytime running lights, but has slowly adapted itself to be the factory fog lights for the newer Toyota Highlander as well as the daytime running lights for the newer Mazda CX-5 with factory HID headlights. Whatever the application may be, we have an affordable solution to replace those lights with an LED bulb that is more efficient and stylish than the factory incandescent bulbs.

These P13W LED bulbs are powered by ten 5W high power CREE XP-E LED diodes per bulb; with eight on the side and two on the top accompanied with a 3x magnifying optical lens, they provide a 360 degree coverage of light while providing projection. The bulbs operate at 10W, but have a maximum capability of 50W; these bulbs do not constantly operate at 50W due to issues such as overheating that will occur. These lights are available in the 6000K Xenon White color only, but should match most factory and aftermarket 6000-8000K HID lights. The P13W CREE LED bulbs are plug and play with the compatible applications and requires no modification to install which makes it a perfect DIY item.

BMW 745Li Using LED Strip Lights For Daytime Running Lights

Posted on by

LED strips seem to be the recent craze in regards to automotive lighting modifications thanks to its ease of installation. As long as there is enough room on the vehicle, these LED strips can be fitted with some slight work. Our LED strip lights are all universal and do not have a specific application; we provide measurements of how long they are so that the customer can measure their application prior to installation to make sure it fits.

On this 2003 BMW 7-series, the customer decided to install the LED strips right above the fog light on the flat area. This particular LED strip did not come with adhesive tape unlike our other styles so for installation, you need to supply your own adhesive tape or use silicone epoxy to bond the strip to the vehicle. There are two wires that power up these 20” 48-LED strips which are connected to any power source you would like the strip to be on with such as your parking lights for running lights or 12v ACC+ wire to act as an LED daytime light strip; the possibilities are almost endless. The LED strip is also flexible s it can conform to unique shapes; on this 745Li, the outside edge slopes down slightly and can be compensated for by bending the strip.

iJDMTOY 9005 LED Daytime Running Light Kit for a Lexus IS-F

Posted on by

The Lexus IS-F is equipped with standard daytime running lights from factory just like the previous IS models. Before the LED daytime running light bar was made standard, it utilized the high beam bulb at a lower output to use as the daytime running lights. The daytime running lights for these cars operate at roughly 6-8v which is about half power of the high beams. Unfortunately, the factory incandescent LED bulbs are a generic yellow color and do not look right on a luxury sports car like the IS-F. We have an LED DRL kit for this car and other similar Lexus vehicles that transforms the yellow into a modern HID-like color.

Replacing just only the daytime running lights with an LED bulb will result in issues such as error messages; this is why we have included a pair of can-bus decoders with our kit. These can-bus LED decoders connect directly to the factory harness and does not require modifications to install; the factory dust cap will have to be removed from behind the daytime running lights though, but that will not create any problems.

Our LED DRL Replacement Kit is available in either our classic 6000K Xenon White or exotic 20,000K Ultra Blue; we recommend Xenon White due to its popularity and acceptance as a replacement light color. Ultra Blue is available, but we do warn that the color may be too exotic and may attract attention from law enforcement. Each bulb has 68-SMD LED diodes on it and produces enough light allow the car to be safely seen during the day. However, due to the design of LED lights and their low wattage output, these lights would not be suitable for use as high beams; these are an aesthetic upgrade for the daytime running lights.

2006+ Honda Civic 9005 High Beam LED Daytime Running Lights

Posted on by

The daytime running lights are on whenever the vehicle is operating for the 2006+ Honda Civic so it’s a noticeable part of the car. The incandescent halogen bulbs that originally came with the car are very generic and do not give it any unique qualities to the car; our LED DRL replacement kit is aimed to provide an aesthetic and unique look. The 9005 high beam DRL kit comes with the LED bulbs, wiring harness, and resistors to prevent any error messages and flickering from occurring.

The high beam LED DRL Kit for the 2006+ Honda Civic uses 68-SMD LED Bulbs that are available in either 6000K Xenon White or 20,000k Ultra Blue; this customer opted for the 20,000K Ultra Blue which are considered for “off-road” use only due to the exotic color. The whole kit is plug and play so there is no need to re-wire or cut any factory harnesses; you will just need to secure the wires and position the resistors to a metal surface away from wires and plastic. While these lights are perfect for the daytime running lights, these would not be an ideal replacement for the high beams at night due to their low intensity; these are purely an aesthetic upgrade.
