Wanted to change my stock yellow high beam (DRL) bulb to an LED bulb i bought from jdmtoys I also changed the parking light to LED and it works perfectly, so after changing the high beam bulbs it worked for few seconds then stopped working... I put back the stock high beam bulbs and it still is not working did i blow a fuse or something? Now when I turn the high beam on my headlight turns on instead of the high beam.... Can someone tell me what went wrong ![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)

i changed my DRL to LED also. for it to be able to work you need the decoder kit. bought it from JDMtoy also. this is the one i bought and it works perfectly

It sounds like you blew a fuse, you're headlights should always come on when your high beams are activated. However, I'm pretty sure you loose high beam functionality when you switch to LED or HID. But if you put the stock bulbs back in without the decoder and it doesn't work then you blew a fuse.

I opened the fuse box saw the #15 fuse took a few of them out but can't tell which one is blown not even sure which fuse is for the high beam I'm a nooby when it comes to stuff like this

Just checked out the owner manual and seems like #15 is the fuse for the highbeam, but not sure which fuse box its located in if I'm not mistaking car has 3 fuse box location and a few fuses that are #15

Just checked the fuse and one of the #15 (blue fuse) was blown!
Changed it and now works perfectly. Installed the LED now looks perfect.
Will upload some pictures now.
