Default V-LED Daytime Lights (annoying?)
I installed the V-LED DRL (6000k)
Now I always have people high beaming me and flipping me off.

Anyone else have this problem? Any way to slightly dim them?

Thanks,

You sure it's because of the V-LED DRL's? Could they be flickering or anything? And are they really that bright?

Hard time believing that LED DRLs would be that bright to be annoying people that much. Maybe someone painted swastika's on your front bumper.

I'd flick you off too with those things... So much for DRL, those are spotlights.

^ LED wouldn't be that intense. U'll be fine with LED. Just ppl won't see it with daylight cause led light is too weak.

DRL is never meant to use HID. With regular halogen bulb in DRL mode it's only power the bulb half power, while high beam using the same bulb but use full power.

Thanks, That's probably what I'll end up doing.
Yeah when I installed these I had to bypass the low voltage and use full High Beam power.
