a member on here has these I believe for the highbeam/DRL lights, it looks good however you need to use resistors to prevent bulb out warning and also you lose highbeam function if I remember right.

I don't believe you lose high beam function. Maybe Miguex can chime in on it, since he's the one that did the mod.

LED bulbs are only for color... you won't be able to use them as your high-beams as they will be very dim. I would guess that they are comparable to a 5W-10W bulb.

I have this mod done on my Lexus and they look great as my DRL.
