Anyone have any good quality DRL suggestions?
I originally purchased the iJDMTOY Super Bright Xenon White lights from Amazon, and when I went to purchase, I only saw good reviews so I thought, hey, great, this will work perfectly.
Well, 6 months later, and both lights are all but shot. One is flickering here and there, and the other is straight up strobe effecting it. At this point, I'm worried I might set off someone with epilepsy while rolling down the street, and I'd just rather not live with the guilt. So... I ask you all, who has some good recommendations for ones to install that won't, you know, rave it up shortly after installing?

Honestly I just bough a set of Amazon that I liked. They have been in for roughly 4k miles and I haven't noticed an issue with them.

1st and foremost, the knockoffs are $0.50-$1 to manufacture and have a 25%+ fail rate. I would first contact the seller and get them replaced under the standard 1 year warranty.
If not, I recommend contacting the seller Aaron on Amazon, his CREE bulbs have been great for our us. Do not buy anything except for authentic CREE LEDs. |

Diode Dynamics, made in USA, three year warranty. Bests bulbs and service I've seen.

I turn mine off during day light hours they last a lot longer. They sure don't help you see any better in day light.

Check out Phastek. I got a set from them and they match the stock HID pretty well and have been running very well. I also have it so they stay on when the headlights are on so anytime my car is running so are they. No issues to date.
These are what I bought: http://www.phastekperformance.com/20...s-led-p13w.htm EDIT: Don't forget the promo code welcome5. It will save you 5%.

I got mine from iJDMtoy.com 4 years ago and haven't had any problems. I got the wire harness from Gen5DIY.

Just a follow-up on this... I ordered the Diode Dynamics last week and just installed on the car last night. They already look a hell of a lot better than the iJDMTOY I got on Amazon, as the color matches that of the halos for a better look when driving around. Not completely ready to give the big ol 2 thumbs up until they've been on for a while without issue due to what I just experienced, but so far so good. Really like the 3 year warranty, as iJDMTOY was completely unwilling to work with anyone despite their crap product.
