Okay, this is the procedure on how I replaced the DRL/high beam halogen 9005 bulb to LED.
This should be the same for sedan and coupe without OEM led drl.
A few things first:
The light is White and not blue. My camera does not pick up the colors correctly in the dark.
1. I do not use my high beam at all. Not once, not ever, so the light output at night time to flash someone or to light up a dark road is NOT a concern of mine. If you use high beam, invest on some better bulbs @ vleds and be prepared to pay $$$.
2. The DRL lights does not stay on with your low beam headlights. When it gets dark and I turn on my headlights.. the DRL light turn off. So It really did not matter to me how bright they are at night time since they do not stay on with my low beam. Even if they did stay on.. My HID would be much brighter.
3. The only reason why I changed to led was that I really did not like the dull yellow stock drl light so I wanted to change to white. It really did not matter to me how bright they were at daytime. I just wanted the white color "look." It did not have to be very bright where you can see my car a mile away.. As long as you were able to see my DRL during daytime on the opposite side of the intersection.. that was fine.
-Yes, there are DRL led bulbs on the market that are very bright.
-Yes, you can wire up relays to run the DRL lights at full power.
-Yes, you can buy the oem headlights with the oem led strips for the audi look..
-Yes, these are not very bright. ( bright enough for me )
This is just a simple way to switch out your yellow lights to white without any warning lights or major flickering or having to use drl module or resistors.
Only downside is the highbeam becomes useless.
