thanks SRGS300. it seems changing the fuse is an alternative to getting the relay harness.
Can anyone with the 68 SMT led from v-leds.com tell me whether it has that disco ball effect when seen in person?

i believe that any led you place in your headlight is going to look like a disco ball in a picture. but not in person.

just took these with my phone... hope that helps

if you live in an area where highbeam is not really used then this is a good mod. if you live in the middle of nowhere by all means keep your halogens as it will be safer

One other option is to add a white LED bulb to the city light that is bright and disconnect the drl relay . This way it will not add its own color and you still have proper headlights. Never remove high beams and replace with LED's . Its vanity over function , all you need is one bad driver on the wrong side of the road and trying to get there attention to you with a lighter or small LED bulb will not work.
Here is a pic of GS I did with a large LED bulb with 1.5w SMD's on it.
On the left is the SMD and the right a plain filament bulb. Pics are super crappy since I had to use a video camera to take them as my camera was dead.
I also have a set on my 03 GS as well which are clearer.
On my GS the left is with my new SMD's and the right is an old 1 watt smd .
With the SMD they are brighter than the DRL by themselves.
It will make you want to upgrade the Headlight bulbs to a 6000K colour as well.
