I just put these in..and in broad daylight..you can hardly tell they are there? When looking from outside of vehicle I can clearly see them but when driving in daylight not really.

I have a 2013 and recently put new bulbs in the same spot you’re doing in this video. It’s way easier to unscrew the bumper by the wheel and just go through there. Saved me so much frustration

For any trying to get to driver side. Best way is to turn the wheel left and get thru behind the wheel well. One clip and 1 screw. So much easier

Not the DRL's but, I was wondering how to change that strip. DRL's you actually pointed to, the inner most light... Good vid though.

[@flashhobbies]

Marvin Brown you can’t, because it has the high beam in the same bulb

[@jtmil26]

Hey, are they actually DRL’s? Most accord models use the high beams for DRL’s and shine them at 8v.

[@flashhobbies]

jtmil26 yes, so the high beams still run, but yes, these are drl

[@christianrabino8520]

Howd u make those drl? Cuz in the day it my led strip doesn't come on . only at night

[@jorv1971]

Ok

[@eyedunno8462]

@@flashhobbies No, DRL is a light that is independent of accessory or night time lights. The 9th Gen Accord using 6v operation or the 9005 high beams; partial voltage so they get the point across and not blind drivers during the day. Many cars utilize this as stock halogen bulbs can run at multiple voltages - LEDs cannot. The "parking light" is T10 socket that the OP has utilized comes on with either accessory or night time mode. They do not remain on when the vehicle is running during the daytime. You COULD wire them up as DRLs! Simply find a 12v spare in the interior fuse box, use an "add a fuse" harness, perhaps run it to a spare rocker panel on lower left dash (many aftermarket button say DRL or FOG and fit the OEM Honda housing) then run it straight to the strip lights.

[@abigailraines]

[@glanzera]

It's not actually a "Daytime Running Light" if you have to turn your parking lights on for it to illuminate. Your actual DRL is on at the end of the video, the high beams at reduced brightness...

[@flashhobbies]

I set my car lights to auto and the turn on when the car is on without turning on the headlights. They also work with the alarm system. When I unlock my car they turn on.

[@pankajmistry4600]

Nice improvement to the stock drl’s

[@flashhobbies]

I think so too!

[@Striker50_]

These aren't drls

[@carlos53k]

My friend did this and all he did was change the light bulb to an LED... The strip looks like the strip you put on. Why because the one bulb and the way the headlight was made was to mimic a light strip. Just like the stock yellow bulb but LED light bulb makes a that difference.

[@Tiffany.Detailer]

That was my thinking. I just bought a 2013 Accord EX a few months back. Everything is mint condition besides the ugly yellow headlights. I just bought H11 LED’s for my low beam that’ll arrive in the morning. What is the name of this bulb type? I’m trying to figure out how to buy an LED bulb, instead of buying a whole strip. Same as your friend did. I want the bright strip look, without buying a whole strip light. I just don’t know what this housing type is called/what led bulb fits in there if that makes any sense.

[@carlos53k]

@@Tiffany.Detailer I have the same car as my friend. I ended up doing the same. Just replace the light bulb with these LED bulbs. It will mimic the strip, look nice and white; and it looks amazing. I also bought a second pair for the reverse lights. Don't do this method in the video. www.amazon.com/dp/B01EJKIUP8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_O0uHFbGEVXQCE

@@carlos53k Awesome 🙂 Thank you! That link will work for both the front lights as well as the back? Only asking because I have no idea what bulb the front (or back) take, and Amazon says those bulbs are for “backup reverse lights only”. I just don’t want to get the wrong thing or mess up my “new” car 😅

[@carlos53k]

@@Tiffany.Detailer Your welcome and yes these reverse lights are the exact needed for the front LED strip part, it's an illusion with one bulb.

[@Tiffany.Detailer]

@@carlos53k Lol I spoke too soon! After reading the reviews on Amazon, it looks like it’ll work for the front lights as well! I hope they last awhile! It’s exactly what I was looking for, instead of trying to put a whole long LED strip inside the housing that’s total overkill because the way the light is built, it makes it look like a strip anyway, and that’s what I wanted; what I have now, just brighter and not yellow. Thank you so much! Definitely buying these! 🙂

[@bhear1231]

What were the blue bulbs that switched to yellow that you mentioned at the end?

[@vladyu7441]

Those are called switch back leds. I have them on my accord but you will need to install resistors with them so they do not hyperflash. I have had my setup on for almost 3 years now and the leds and resistors are still good. The best place to get these switchback leds and plug and play resisters is at JDM Astar. their leds have lasted me the longest. Just keep in mind that resistors reduce voltage by turning it into heat energy so if you run leds that claim to not need resistors its because they have them integrated in the led which over a short period of time ( About 6 to 12 months) the soldered contacts on the led chip will become brittle from the constant expansion and contraction from heating up and cooling down. My setup has also been in 3 accidents and i managed to remove them and reinstall them each time without replacing resistors or leds. The leds will cost you $35 The Resistors will cost $25 per set of 2 which is all you need. You want to mount the resistors on the frame which runs right beside the headlights so the heat is transferred from the resistors to the frame of the car. The resistors get extremely hot, DO NOT let anything lean, cover, touch, or come in contact with anything you dont want to catch on fire. I have had these mounted on my frame with 2 screws for each resister and i have not had any problems with heat or or operational problems for 3 years now. As long as you install everything correctly, they should operate popperly for a long time.

[@eyedunno8462]

They are physically different but yes they do have them ableit on the opposite sides of the headlight. However unless it is a touring trim it's still a T10/194 bulb/socket. All 9th gen accords have a dedicated reflective housing on the bottom on the headlight assembly for parking lights, but only touring trims utilize LED DRL and as individual SMDs, not as a strip like seen in this video. Theoretically, these strips should work for the coupes too, though would still have to wire them through your fuse box for DRL application as default would be parking lights - which is a clumsy way of saying they are only an accent light on 2 and 3 of the headlight switch, not constant on DRL.
