They're great!! Super bright even in the daytime. I have nothing but good to say so far.

Just did my DRL/fog light mod. So now, my fogs are my DRL's at full power, not dimmed instead of the dimmed high beams. What's also cool, is that doing this mod gave me the option of using fogs with parking lights only and no low beams! Indicator still works on the dash and fog light switch works as advertised just like before I did the mod.

Are you saying that the indicator works when used as DRLs? You running Outbacks?

No the indicator does not work when in DRL mode, but does work as normal with fogs on and headlights on. And yes, I am running outback fogs. No pics unfortunately.

Not too happy with USPS right now!! Jdmtoy 2 day shipping has turned into almost 5! I tracked the package and it still says delivery expected March 12. It went from the city I live in to a city next to me for some reason and is now going back to my city! I went to the office to pick it up but they said they don't have it and I won't be able to obtain it because it's in a processing facility. Unreal. UPS and Fed ex next time for sure. Even tho they suck too. Wahhhh!

Sorry it hear about the shipping woes. Have had all kinds of problems with USPS, but Fedex and UPS will leave ANYTHING at my door ON TIME. Not concerned about anything disappearing since the people across the way that have Amazon Prime have at least 3 packages on their doorstep EVERY day.

Stay away from USPS...

Boo. Seen that happen before :-P

When I order from Amazon, sometimes they send my orders with a company called Lasership. Had two packages show up three days late and one that never did. Luckily Amazon refunded, and it was just a ten dollar light bulb. I even tried to get their customer service to avoid using them for me to no avail...

Just did mine, I'll post pics as soon as I can get flickr figured out with iPad and posting pics here....yesterday I did the "mod" that changes DRLs from dim high beams to full power fogs. I like it a lot because I always thought it was stupid to have dim high beams as DRLs and this way, I think it looks better, plus it keeps me legal (insurance wise). I had originally thought of also making the eyebrows AND the fogs DRLs. I need a diode to make it work properly so I haven't done it. After installing the eyebrow ijdmtoy plasma LED bulbs, I don't think I will incorporate them into the DRLs. Only reason I decided against it was because they're not bright enough to really see that well in the daytime. Don't get me wrong, they're definitely brighter than stock, and look great and fit fine, but they just don't have enough to make them highly visible for DRL purposes.

That being said, I'm going to try to figure out how to post pics and I'll update if/when I do!

Nice!

I think it's the angle of the top of the lens reflecting the sunlight which kills the perceptible light.

From the pics they look more 5k than 6k. Are they more blue in person than the pics suggest?

I hope they are closer to 5k than 6k. I can't stand blue tinted lights especially when paired with yellowish tinted halogens. The closer to pure white light, the better IMO.

Yes sir! And by the way, did you replace your license plate lights with led too and if so which ones? The ones I got are super bright but they don't fit all that well and they keep shutting off :/

In the picture yes, but even in person you can hardly tell they're on when I was backed out of my garage, and today was overcast! Not bright enough for me to incorporate them into the fog drl mod I've done.
