IndyKen Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Just wondering at what point do these little lights above the HID's on my 02 IS300 come on? I've tried it"In gear", "Out of gear", high beams, low beams, parked, lights on, lights off, ignition running. Checked the fuses and they all checked out good. Any advice before I go and run a wire stright to the battery!! (JUST KIDDING). Heck, while Im at it, anybody have a replacement solution for those amber daytime running lights? They are awefull.

IndyKen Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 Nope, tried that too. High Beams, low beams we all scream for.........well you get the idea. I feel like a complete idiot trying to figure out which switch to hit to make these things come on. How bout those ugly yellow daytime running lights? Any suggestions on what to replace them with that looks a little "Brighter"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions on what to replace them with that looks a little "Brighter"? The DRL's are yellow and dim because they are being run on low power through a resistor. You can jumper out the resistor and make them some brighter, or change to Silverstar bulbs and they will be somewhat whiter. Or you can just disconnect from the resistor and they won't come on at all. The following link shows the resistor and cable. http://my.is/forums/showthread.php?t=246780 This shows the jumper installed to give more power to the lights.

IndyKen Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 Gotcha! Thanks for the pic and the link. Here's where you can find my question regarding the exact location of the light I am trying to figure out what it's for and how it works. www.indyken.com/is300.htm Sincerely, K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKen Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 Bartkat, :) THANKS A ton for the mod for the daytime running lights! What a difference! I needed the DTR's as bright as possible because of the two lane road I take to work. A lot of passing in both directions. Those Silvania lights were a whole lot brighter than I expected.

bartkat Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Not sure but it doesn't need to be real big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parking17 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Looks like 16 gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
