Hi guy, I first got the 2011 headlights, and didn't like the 100% bright at night because it too bright for my taste
, but I got the 2012 replaced for the bubbles defective, and now the new 2012 LEDs look much nicer even at night and for some reason the new 2012 leds not as bright compare to 2011 leds?, but this is what I like it now compare to the 2011
So i just order the 5 terminals relay and would try to do like 100% bright switch to 50% bright when low beam on, it should work like the OEM
but the more I look at the new one is the one I like and also I am kinda lazy to take the bumper off
so I need your though about that?
here the 5 terminal relay below I would try to hook up?

this is where the add on fuse replaced the 10amp fuse on the top as in the pic

when you run this wire make sure you have to cut the green wire from the bottom af the headlight which from three wire came out from the leds dust cover, after hook up the leds will turn on every time the car start![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

sorry I didn't focus on the low beam 12+ volt, therefore I don't know which wire? but it is not hard to find out, all you need the light tester and stick to which ever wire has power and switch back and forth the low beam switch if the tester light goes off and on too that is the wire for the 12+ volt low beam

I had a dealer install the new 2012 lights that I bought from Sewell on my 2006 IS. Sewell told me they would function just like the 2012 models. They said is was simple plug and play. WRONG. The problem is I want the LEDs on 100% of the time when in "auto" mode during the day. (In other words, I want the LEDs to function as my driving lights) Right now, in auto mode during the day, the yellowish driving lights are on and the LEDs are off. (In auto mode at night, everything is fine) What's the best way to fix this? I've seen on this thread to have the dealer disable the yellowish driver lights and connect the LEDs to the ignition circuit. Could someone give me a detailed, step-by-step way to do this?

How much did the dealer charge you for installation (if you don't mind sharing)?
