For a long time, DRLs have created challenges for LED kits.. No more, though - We've come through with the right solution! Get yours here: www.xenondepot.com/led-headli...
THE ISSUE
Many vehicles run the high beam headlamps at reduced power to provide the DRL function. This is usually done by what's called PWM, pulse width modulation: instead of a constant, steady feed of electric current, the bulbs are fed a stream of very brief pulses of power averaging 50% of the steady-feed voltage. It's done this way because the maximum safe, effective and legal brightness for a DRL is much lower than the minimum for a high beam headlamp. It looks terrible, but it meets legal requirements, it's cheap to install, and that's pretty much all the automakers care about.
THE PROBLEM
LEDs bulbs are different than halogen bulbs. They're instant-on and instant-off, so PWM feed doesn't dim them - it just makes them flicker, which is not only noticeable and annoying, it's also illegal. Many companies claim you can fix the problem by using what they call a "canbus decoder" or capacitor-based "anti-flicker" module to solve the problem, but that's wrong. Some of those devices may eliminate flicker, but your daytime running lights will operate at full high beam intensity and produce lots of glare during the day and dusk - Don't be that guy!
THE SOLUTION
The all-new Xtreme Pro DRL Driver, designed and engineered in house and available exclusively from XenonDepot, is a smart two-stage LED headlight bulb driver that enables flicker-free true OEM-style dual-intensity DRL and high beam functionality for our line of Xtreme Pro LED bulbs. When the vehicle calls for daytime running lights, the Xtreme Pro DRL Driver powers the bulbs at 12% of full intensity, - with zero flicker. You get lights that function correctly, the way they're supposed to, with perfect true-white light in both modes.

Is there a hyper yellow bulb that you can use for a DRL in the 4runner?? I have a 2021 4runner Limited on order and to my knowledge on the 2021 limited the 9005 inner bulb is only used as a DRL. Both high and low beam now is coming from the projector in the 2021

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

You could use the Xtreme Pro LED in yellow, you would just need to make sure that you got that DRL harness with the bulbs! Let us know if you have any other questions, have a great day!

2013 ram 1500 (vertical fog lights) 9006: XTREME LED PRO - Yellow fog lights Will I need to use DRL harness for just fog lights?

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

Not at all, just the bulbs and PWM modules on this truck!

[@psalmtrigo3916]

I have some questions before adding my order on your websites cart. I do have 2007 toyota Camry Hybrid and i did bought a Philips LED 9005 highbeam/DRL but i have some issues on it. The DRL is fleckering most of the time while when i use the highbeam i have no problem with it, so then i tried putting Philips canbus adapter hoping it will resolve the fleckering problem but it won’t. And i ended up phoning the philips company and they says there products won’t work in my vehicle.. So please can you give me an idea to resolve this issue in your product which one i need to resolve the fleckering issue? Thanks

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

A PWM module should help fix this issue!

[@FannyHill520]

Can I use this on my 2018 highlander le plus? My drl flickers

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

Sure!

[@irfanspace]

i got and i am getting very light flickering , a kind of vibration ? on both bulbs when i turn on DRL mode .

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

You did install the DRL drivers that came separately and not the ones that come in the box with the bulbs, right?

[@T4TEST]

@@XenonDepotOffRoad Absolutely correct

[@t-dot-win1943]

Is the driver compatible with Morimoto 2stroke 2.0 9005 LEDs?

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

That driver is not compatible with the 2Stroke 2.0 LED bulb. Sorry about that!

[@nutthaponkumglum4650]

The lumens that you've shown on your website is the lumens per one LED bulb or pair?

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

These readings are per bulb! 🙂

[@Toxicwolf61]

Xenon Depot, Does a 2015 GMC Canyon require this driver? I'd rather just get the GTR 2 if thats the case since it'd cost $180 for each light with the driver included, please let me know, thanks

[@Toxicwolf61]

Additionally, If the truck does need the driver, will it all fit underneath the dust cap ?

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

Send us an email to [e-mail] and we’ll help you get the right info and products you need for your Canyon.

Received a pair of h7s for my 2017 outlander. Having an issue installing them. Power supply setup is fine. But, once I go to insert this new bulb into the light housing, i unable to get it lock it. They circular piece that I saw in the video doesn't have that blue gasket. Like I'm missing a piece for this to lock in place. Any suggestions?

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

Can you send us a picture of the bulb youre trying to install? [e-mail]

@@XenonDepotOffRoad I found a $10 adapter online after I watched this video. I am waiting for to arrive. If that doesn't work, I will share a photo.

Is good for 2022 4runner sr5 premium?

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

Unfortunately, we haven't checked on a 2022 truck yet. Sorry!

[@nanooo2077]

$210 for the bulbs and pwm drl drivers??? There aren’t any less expensive options?

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

Unfortunately not.

[@johnvu8305]

I got this for my 21 4runner Limited. Even though 21s now come with LED, the DRL still uses the ugly orange looking halogens. I got the LED with DRL driver. However, when installing, I noticed it fits a little loose so there is movement. I tried taking the o-ring from the factory bulb but it didn't make a difference. Anyone try this on a 21 yet? ** Took a look again and for some reason it's full on brightness too.

[@RCGJR_]

Planning on doing this to my 2021 sr5, yes i know it sucks that the drl’s are still halogens, did you figure out the issues yet?

[@johnvu8305]

@@RCGJR_ I gave up and returned them. Couldn't get them to dim to DRL mode. Since I can't really see the light output with the DRL on, I figure the heck with it. Hopefully as more 21s are available, someone will come out with something specific for it.

[@RCGJR_]

@@johnvu8305 yeah, our 2021’s are pretty new, let’s give it sometime for aftermarkets to get updated.

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

@John Vu @Nothing With those 2021s, they should work just fine with the Xtreme LED Pro lights in there with the DRL driver. Due to a universal fit, the LED bulbs will have a little bit of play, but this will not be enough to effect the beam pattern or light output! As for the DRL not dimming, if you have the amber DRL, then your high beam will; not dim from the factory so the new bulbs will not. You have to have the DRL that uses the same bulb as the low or high beam for that DRL to come on with that high beam bulb. Let us know if you have any other questions, have a great day!

[@johnvu8305]

@@XenonDepotOffRoad Looks like I'm out luck as it's now a dedicated DRL since the Low and High are now in one LED. Do you think it's possible to use the 9005 CMB as a dedicated DRL?

[@Fox250R]

375 for low beams ?

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

That is correct!

[@johnnyjimj]

Does this work on cars that DON'T use PWM for DRL, but put the headlight bulb in series instead?

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

Vehicles that don't use PWM would work properly with the Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0.

[@Jwdude123]

$14 dolla canbus/anti flicker caps fix this too.

[@XenonDepotOffRoad]

Thanks for that info!

[@mathewsenn]

and you only need one per vehicle, not per light

[@Josh.Davidson]

No, they don't, they cause the bulbs to be 100% bright and blind people. Capacitors act as lowpass filters and smooth the PWM back into a higher voltage - high enough for the LED drive to output brightly.

[@Viggggggr]

Lame this is just a AD
