Might need an extra component for DRL

These headlights work great as the 12v high beam in my 2006 Lexus RX330. However, they may require an additional component, a CANBUS compensator/decoder, to function properly as DRLs at 6V in this and some other vehicles. With a suitable decoder/compensator they are also fantastically effective as fluorescent lamps. In fact, they are much better than the original halogen bulbs, maintaining their color temperature of 5700ยฐK on both voltage inputs. Have you ever noticed old Lexus models with sickly yellow daytime running lights? This is what a halogen bulb looks like when you turn it on at half power. With them at 6V or 12V they look *very* close to the bright white stock Xenon HID low beams. Based on research by the Lexus Core User Group, I believe that other Lexus models using the same bulb with 12V for high beam and 6V for DRL need a suitable CANBUS decoder/compensator to work as DRL.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
