Rick Baye Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 While I absolutely love the Daytime Bright Lites version with Phillips DRL's, this mod is expensive no matter if you do it yourself or get the guys over at DTBL to do it for you. I have converted all front facing lights over to 6000K (55W HIDs and Type 2 VLED Switchbacks) and now am frustrated with the final lights that just don't match, the verticals. Just had a little baby girl, so my wife would kill me if I were to spend $200+ on those bad boys, so looking to do a patch job until she stops monitoring the accounts so close, lol. Has anyone opened this housing up to see if you can simply replace the single fire LED with a 6000K high output (CREE anyone?) to get the color match? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) I would imagine you could. Just depends what bin Cree you can get. Luxeon might be a better match. It should just be soldering the new led to the factory board. Having said that, I love my DTBL DRLs. I just didn't tell the wife and made sure I stocked up on formula for my daughter BEFORE I purchased them (wife still hasn't noticed the lights are different).

PrinzII Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I am going to need a defibrillator and smelling salts for one mod I have in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnight99 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I just ordered my DTBL DRL/LED's. Just sell it to the wife in terms of vehicle safety. With more lighting on the road, you are better protecting the young one. That's my business case for my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellbine Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Not to mention a DRL insurance discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Is the defibrillator and smelling salts for your wife after she hears what your doing or are they for her to use on you after she kills you? After she hears how much this particular mod is going to cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
