(DRL)Day Time Running Lights Upgrade
Greetings,
I have the base model 2019 Lexus NX 200t and I really want to upgrade my day time running lights. The fact that Lexus did this blows my mind but whatever.
I've read a few posts on here with people that upgraded their DRL but there's not a lot of information about it. I reached out to two Lexus dealers and both service departments had no idea if it was possible or not. Yet, I found two posts on this forum where members said they did it.
Does anyone have more information on how to upgrade the DRL? When I reached out to Lexus Service, they had 3 different part numbers. Which one do I order? Do I need a different connector? Please elaborate.
Thanks,

I will admit, the base model DRL strips are ugggly and cheap looking. I BELIEVE there are two other types of strips. The premium and lux run a LED strip with LED blinker running the horizontal length of the strip. And the F-Sport does the same but the LEDs for the blinker actually run up the vertical of the chevron instead of just horizontal. I bet that's a semi simple change out. Might have to do some wire stripping, soldering and etc though.

The "swoosh" check mark LED DRL are standard on all models, but there is a base one and 2 others. If you look at them closely they are different. The base model is LED except for the turn signal which uses a regular bulb, which you could change to a LED bulb if you want

Ohh I see, so the turn signal is inside the headlight...?

I did not know that the base model did that... I am in Canada and I have an MY2018 NX300 F Sport 3 and mine looks like it blinks like the 2nd picture, my swoosh blinker doesn't light up the whole length, just the lower portion...

All the NX in canada including the standard package has the lights in the second and third picture, we don’t get the difference base model ones no matter what trim level you choose
