I found 2 more that is in the 1200 lumens range






But I am not sure if they will fit due to the added length.
I bought the same one Cali-duck posted.

I recently bought some 5730 LED from JDM astar and they are fantastic, mostly the color is very pleasing bright white with no hint of blue.

 

Since these are your DRL, I don't think you need such high light output, but those bulbs look pretty sweet!

 

Just installed the 800 Jdm led I think its not visible enough tho I like the color,

I think the longer projector one would be perfect because this is too short to reach the forward of the shield

 

Oh no some the front LEDs are not lighting up now after the next long drive

Going to send back and get the Cree ones

 

Well the search continues. The JDM astar all LED turn on when the bulb is cold, but after driving a bit, some of the front LEDs are out. This is with a 65F temperature, there is no way it will survive in summer. I don't think the 800 lumens are quite accurate either, at least not when used in the outlander's reflectors, it doesn't reach far enough in the housing and I also noticed the light is not very visible until I put my eye level with the headlight height. Which didn't happen with the stock bulb.

Now looking for a bulb that is rated for DRL duty which means it is constant on. Giving up a bit on lumens would be OK as long as it can handle the heat.

Just bought one with 6 LEDs only and uses a reflective cone to distribute the light, will update when I get it. They have the same design using 9006 so it is probably a low beam replacement application instead of being designed to reverse light for a few seconds.

 

Bummer OutlanderGT! Going to keep an eye on my DRLs now...

 

Ordered these from Amazon ($27)



The vendor is called Z8LED, they have a lot of unique bulb replacement stuff. These have 6x "CREE" SMD. Not sure authentic or not.. but very happy with the color and how the light distributes in the reflector housing.
I don't have to kneel down to see them on anymore.

I was able to see my DRLs reflected on the cars in front of me.
With the JDM one previously I was mostly not able to see my DRL reflection which tells me they are not very visible.

Here are some pics of them viewed from different angles. It gives the car an updated look and less strain on the power (stock 1156 draws 2.1amps and these less than 1 amp)

 

My JDM ASTAR 1156 units have been good the last 2 weeks but it's winter so we'll see how it goes in the summer. I have no complaints about the light output especially compared to what was in there from factory. I don't need to light up the road.

 

My point exactly. I'd invest in better DRL's if they were for seeing, but they are for being seen. For now $20 is my limit.

 

Well, what's the verdict?
