High Beam LED replacement...

thanks for the info, Morimoto's are damn expensive lol...I wanted fresher look on DRLs while retaining high beams and swap from warm to cool look but at $120 I think the warm look is just fine lol

wonder why seller of these morimotos claims NOTE: Not for use in low voltage high/low beam DRL applications

They will likely flicker in DRL mode like my VLEDs.

A few potential reasons for the listing note on the low voltage:
my guess as most likely: could be the lister is meaning not for dual filament bulbs, those with lows and highs in one package. The listing is for h11 h8 h9 which are all single filaments.
other:
could be fakes, a counterfeit might not have added the expense of the second circuit
could be that the lister doesn't know about these, yet the listing seems copied from the Morimoto info except for the added note
could be defectives to be sold for only the 12V section

If all you want is to have a 6k DRL, and you are OK with having the DRL in a higher location, then $20-$40 has you covered, with the additional benefit of LED turn signals. I think I show the part in an earlier post, the switchback. You dont need all the other complex stuff I showed, just swap the signal, run 1 wire, and add resistors/relay if needed for flash frequency. Here's how it would look:
If you want to do this you could make a new thread for just the DRL/turn signal mod and have a write up with pics. Unless there's already one out there.

The 1.0 had CREEs and did work with DRL, the 2.0 use Philips. The CREE were slightly brighter but the Philips give a better pattern. We'll be waiting to hear how the 2.0 go.

Curious if this is the case
These are actually cheaper and newer

looks pretty good, wouldn't mind it in higher location like this, matter of fact I think I would really like this with strong amber bulb initially I wanted something cooler looking for DRL's because they look archaic in contrast with low beam HIDs or halogens, whatever is in there lol

Currently bulbfacts.com shows the 2stroke 2.0 as not DRL also. I wrote to ask why, and how they got to the 6V for the test. There's a difference in 6V from PWM, 6V from relay switching and 6V from a bench power supply for LEDs. Not so much of a difference for halogens.

Bulbfacts got back to me. He used a 6V AC type adapter and they didn't work. This doesn't mean they wont work for us, I believe they will. 6V from a PWM is different than 6V from an AC adapter is different from 6V from relay switching is different from 6V from a bench power supply for LEDs. Halogens won't notice any difference but LEDs will.
Interested to get a report back from lionsfan54

Installed the Morimoto 2 stroke 2.0 bulbs today. Installation was stupid easy. I have not done the flicker reduction boxes yet (on order still) but I can get by. You can really only see flicker if you rapidly move your eye across the beam.
They work fine in DRL mode and the highbeams are a marked improvement. I'm happy with the quality and the purchase. No error messages, etc.
