Bigsky64 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Hi all, new to forum. Just purchased a 2011 CPO ES 350 with all the trimmings. I wanted to see if anyone has swapped stock DRL with and LED bulb and if so, provide feedback and specs. Appreciate any replies.
Fast Talker60 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I have not tried the daytime running lights but I did try the tail lights the problem is That led light draw less power and my indicater said that I had a tail light out . Hope this helps 2010 es
gbhrps Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 LED's require a ballast be placed in line with the bulb to draw enough current to satisfy warning systems, flashers, etc., when used in many automotive applications. Search for automotive tail light LED bulbs and some sites will explain how to hook the bulbs and ballast up to prevent issues. Since your ES uses the low beams as DRL's (I believe) you will have difficulty finding an LED to fit the headlight housing, let alone give off enough light to be of any use as a DRL safely, and be of any use as a low beam at night. Good Luck!
gbhrps Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 bigsky64, Oops, my bad! Had the opportunity to do some searching on eBay and came across MANY LED light assemblies for headlights, but ... they're all from China, and ...... who knows how good they are, will they fit, will they work with onboard Lexus electricals? If you're willing to gamble, check them out.
