for the DRL's, i had rallye lexus turn them off (still leaves the high beams enabled, took dealer only 5 mins to do). if anything i'd rather have the foglamps on with the drls. too bad it requires splicing and a switch which i did not want to do. plus too many bimmers are running that style around here on the east coast from what i've seen.
your car looks nice in pics! i say leave it alone before you wake up one day and see you did rice it out. no one here gives a clear description on where to draw the line on what is "rice" but i know you're near me and every civic/maxima/g35/vw/bmw have the same light mods now that we're talking about. to me, that's enough to join the rice crowd no matter what brand you choose.

"Do not use this bulb directly with our DRL module it may cause issues with some Lexus vehicles. Use one 9005_DRL_MODULE and one HID_RELAY_HARNESS"
So in fact you need to buy 3 items and connect together? They are not plug and play as is? Or am I misunderstanding something?

If you buy the led only then its plug and play. The kit you will need to do some wiring.
I´m a bit confused... From the V-leds.com website:

Not sure why you say Ricey and LED in the same sentence, kinda an irony isn't it?
LED's have a different color/output of light vs. filament. There is nothing RICE about it unless you overdo it but in your case, you are just swapping bulbs so what's the debate?
Either you get 5k, 6k or amber LED's but they all look the same.
Your car is already modded pretty heavily so I don't think LED's will make any difference in what people think of your car good or bad.

they lied to you, they can be turned off. I had mine done the first week with the car. I believe the newer cars actually let you turn them off yourself using the settings in the nav system. At least by loaner RX350 allows that.

I had mine turned off at the 1000 mile check up.

Sorry for being such a novice but...
I love the look of the DRL-leds, but I am not prepared to sacrifice the high-beam. However I also hate the yellow OEM DRLs...
Does anyone have a suggestion on alternative "regular" bulbs to replace the OEM ones with to get rid of the yellowish light they emit?
