Default VIPMOTOZ IS-F Headlight Install

So there was a thread that stated no one tried the VIPMOTOZ headlight from ebay on the ISF.

Install was very easy, although the ISF I worked with had suffered front damage before so had to spend more time mounting the lights in place.

Just installed mine on my IS250, did you install LED DRL (highbeam) or HID KIT for your lowbeam?

I bought the eBay one, it comes with regular bulb for everything. The stripe led only lights up when your lowbeam is on or city light (first switch). Its all plug and play - They even give you a hole where you can drill to plug a hid kit for the low beam. If you are deciding to put a led bulb for your DRL/Highbeam you may need a decoder if its higher than 12v.

So the led stripe isn't the drl, it has another bulb for drl? Any way to make the led stripe the drl

So, with that, do you or anyone know if the hi beam/drl will also remain on simultaneously with the LED strip or LED strip by itself on DRL only?

May be use an Add-a-Fuse to an ACC connection directly to the lights, so they come on when the car is on.
