    what's the point of sylvania's silverstar turn signal bulbs?

    The only reason I got these is because they look cool (not amber) when they are off in the reflector housing. oversize image

    Any benefit to running low beam lamps on instead of DRLs?

    Interesting that going from 50-100% voltage increases intensity by 90% Leta go back 10 years then. I'd love to know what cars use low beams for DRL. My 1996 Passat had headlights and parking lights that never turned off. It was the dumbest thing.

    Interesting. Which current year model car has low Beam DRL? I haven't seen any.

    Any benefit to running low beam lamps on instead of DRLs?

    Thank you for the informative responses. My main point is that there is a reason automakers use high beams and turn signals for DRL when there is not a dedicated DRL strip. They're may be a couple exceptions but almost all cars in the USA do not use low beams as DRL. Regardless of the laws, low...

    Any benefit to running low beam lamps on instead of DRLs?

    Without knowing exact details of what requirements are for DRL perhaps low Beam headlights would meet the requirements. But automakers do not choose that route. They do use high beams and turn signals, as retrofit kits also do, but they do not use low beams or foglamps because the beam cutoffs...

    The DRL strips have a beam pattern that is closer to high beam (at lower intensity) than low beams. Low beams will be less visible from a distance. That is why automakers that do not have dedicated DRL use the high beams at half brightness.

    Tapping into high beams with DRL (daytime running lights)

    Yes. Do your own wiring.

    Tapping into high beams with DRL (daytime running lights)

    What kind of lamps are you looking to add? To use with your low beams? Off road use? When do you plan on using these lights?

    Transplanting '16-'17 Accord LED headlamps to 2013 Accord Sport

    All functions properly tested and wires labeled! Now to get connectors to interface with the factory lights to solder to the new lamps wiring. I do need to take them apart and fix some inner trim. Oversize Pic! 800x800 maximum size Oversize Pic! 800x800 maximum size Oversize Pic! 800x800...

    Transplanting '16-'17 Accord LED headlamps to 2013 Accord Sport

    It took an extensive amount of work and aiming for the last accord I had, where I retrofitted Honda S2000 AP1 projectors into my low beams. I was able to retain the factory adjustment mechanicals on that car. https://photos.app.goo.gl/5MUA31V0HXqojYPT2...

    Transplanting '16-'17 Accord LED headlamps to 2013 Accord Sport

    First thing I do in any car I purchase used is to make sure all the lights work and are aimed properly, same with any lighting modifications.

    Transplanting '16-'17 Accord LED headlamps to 2013 Accord Sport

    Yes entire assemblies. They are a direct fit save for a little gap where the 16-17 grill "horns" would go. It's been done before. Here is a red one. Mine accord is black.

    Transplanting '16-'17 Accord LED headlamps to 2013 Accord Sport

    I just bought a pair of the LED headlamps from a '16-17 MY Accord, as an upgrade to my 2013 Sport. Do you have a wiring schematic available for them to help me wire them up?
