High Beam: 9005 Xtreme LED Pro
High Beam/Daytime Running Light LED driver

I have a similar setup except I went for the Phillips HID low beams.
I REALLY wish I had checked out Amazon prior to my order however as the same fog is $124 and Prime vs $160 I paid :ybrick:. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...H8+/+H16+Philips+X-treme+Ultinon+LED+Fog+Bulb

Concerns me a little that the HID and the LED I also ordered are a bit overpriced.


Also the Phillips interior festoon is cheaper on Amazon too and has a $3 off coupon so it's $10 right now.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077FV1GVX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

However I WILL say that the HID as amazingly bright vs stock. The cutoff seems to work well in my '16 lens and I did not get flashed at all last night driving on unlit country roads. I get flashed all the time in my lifter FJ with just stock now 8 yet old halogens!
There is some light scatter but it doesn't appear to be too bad and it does light things up well.

I'm still debating what light to get for my FJ cruiser. That thing has H4 bulbs and no projector so I'm thinking HIDs are out as I'm sure I'd be blinding everybody. I may try something from Amazon to see if I like the LEDs in there then check around for a better quality piece.

Glad to hear you are enjoying your lights!

Unfortunately, we can't compete with Amazon prices but we try to be competitive as we with the same products. Additionally, we're available for tech and customer support when needed.

With our HID Kits and LED Kits, we don't try to be competitive but rather sell you a quality product that works and gives you great results.

As for your FJ Cruiser, check out this review of the H4 Xtreme LED Pro kit installed in one.

I received all of my ordered items! I'm going to perform the install this Saturday or Sunday. Exciting stuff!

The install is complete, but the LED DRLs are pulsing. The video shows a slow pulse, but they're actually pulsing extremely fast, like a cop car. Help!:shrug:

Issue with the drivers I would presume especially if they are both doing it, which is odd in itself that both drivers are having an issue.

I guess on full power mode when the high beams are on that stops?

Yep! At full power it stops. I guess I'll have to return those high beam drivers.

Hmmm, I've yet to receive my pre-order of the same product, hopefully will not have the same experience but obviously confident ZD will make it right and you'll be sorted quickly.

Sorry to hear you are experiencing an issue but this would make sense with the LEDs installed in the High Beam/DRL as they would either need the PWM Module (Full brightness DRL) or the new DRL LED Driver (Dimmer DRL).

If I recall you did order the DRL LED Drivers but we just haven't shipped them out yet. They will be shipping later this week.

Here's a quick comparison.

Thanks Danny! I just used the LED drivers that came in the package. I guess I'll have fun with the new strobes until I get the new drivers lol olice:

Thanks for the comparison picture!

Sorry about the confusion but in the meantime, I would recommend turning your low beams on so the DRL doesn't come on. This way, you won't damage the LED kit by having it flicker.

Hey Danny,

Here's a video of what the replacement harnesses are doing. Still flickering, but slightly faster. So weird!

THANK YOU Xenon Depot for the R&D and bringing this product to market so this last (well only) thorn in my side about this vehicle after one year of ownership is finally resolved. Won't miss that halogen look :cheers:

That is all...:beer:

I've been adjusting my new low beams. Trying to find out that sweet spot. Here's a video of my current height setting. Let me know what you guys think! :clap2:
