XenonDepot DRL PWM LED Driver Available for Pre-Order

[XenonDepot]

Thank you for the continued feedback on the Xtreme LED Pro kit with the DRL LED Drivers!
[MENTION=278575]vipers28[/MENTION] - Let us know if you had any other questions.

Will you eventually have a single kit that incorporates the anti flicker module and the proper 9005 LED's for the 4R? It seems rather ridiculous to throw away 1/2 of the kit for those of us that still want to buy high beam LEDs. I understand having the driver available for folks that already have LEDs but what about those of us that have held off due to the problems that have existed since day one with the non incandescents?

It’s already available and has been, when you order the LEDs just select the DRL driver option, you get the entire kit ready to go.....you’ll get the latest drivers and they work great no flicker on my 2018 whatsoever, such a huge upgrade to factory

I understand your concern, but we don't sell our regular LED Drivers separately so taking them out of the box would leave us with a part on the shelf. Unfortunately, we don't have any plans to offer the Xtreme LED Pro kit with JUST the DRL LED Drivers even when you choose the DRL LED Driver option.

Got mine installed yesterday and quite a bit of use so far. I have a video of the install and results that I will have shared in the next day or two. What I can tell you is that install was super easy, less than 30 minutes with filming, and there is no flicker that I can see. Pretty dang happy about them.

installed the DRL kit on my 19 this past weekend! Looks great, super bright as high beams and the DRL function works amazingly. nice color, no flicker (that i can notice)

Thanks for the feedback guys Looking forward to the pics and vids!

Does anyone have a video yet of the new module? I would be interested to see how sped up the pulse of the leds are to reduce the flicker compared to their initial modules. If you have ever watched stuff like top gear, you will know even high end cars with led DRLs pulse on camera. Its just a very fast pulse on camera which means you cant detect it with the human eyes.

The effect on screen will vary depending on the frequency of the emitter and that of the camera recording frame rate as well as video format and frame rate. It is going to be different all the time. That being said, here is a video I have of mine installed this weekend.

Great video, you made it even easier than I thought, I did not remove the one strand of wires as you did.....but used them to connect the plug from the OEM bulb to the other end of the driver, I guess if yours work fine then it’s not needed, looks like I have some wire “clean up” to do this weekend

Thank you very much XenonDepot for going the extra mile and making these DRL-compatible drivers available. I've been running your LED high and low beams for about a year now and they have performed very very well; however, it bugged me to give up the DRL function. And now I don't have to. :V

To people who are on the fence I can say that the flicker is barely perceptible by the naked eye and only if you are looking for it. It will make your videos look interesting if you shoot at high frame rates. For example this is what the DRL mode looks like at 60fps as taken by my iPhone:

As for the slight flicker, yes you will notice it on video and in certain cases in person but for when it counts in daylight it won't be an issue.

So I just got my HID kit and DRL/ High beam LED kit from Xenon Depot today and wanted to get them installed. I didn't have any issues with the HID install but when installing the 9005 LED's with the new DRL driver, I have no DRL lights, but the high beams work fine. I tried even the older model LED driver and the same result. I tried reversing the polarity on the plugs, but then there is no high beam and no DRL. Of course it's Friday night and I have to wait to call them Monday. Any ideas?

Read the thread.

Read the thread.

At first I thought, "That was helpful :blabla:" then I read the thread...

Remember to take the e-brake off when checking/installing to see if it works fml

Some vehicles need you to be in gear and in motion (or at least have your parking/emergency brake OFF) in order for the DRLs to activate.

Damnit...:dammit::doh:

They work just fine. I was just too tired to read. Thanks!

[MENTION=12905]XenonDepot[/MENTION] was part of the pre-order...and you very graciously replaced my v1 drivers with v2 (that eliminated my flicker even though v1 was still very hard to see any flicker) and they still look fantastic.

My son followed me the other day and the truck looks great with the LED DRL's. They don't blind...and my son followed me for over 100 miles and I couldn't see any flicker from my review mirror. The HB output is 100% better than stock. Great job and thank you.

I've order both H11 and 9005 Pro LED with PWM on 01/08. When ordered said will ship (even now says the same time) between 24-48 hours.
It's been already 3 businesses days and still shows processing...
For me, this is not a good start, you promise 24-48 hours and after 72 hours, the same message. My credit card was already charged, almost $300.
How long does it takes until it will ship? What's the warranty process, same like this? I'm asking because I have 2 4Runners and maybe will get another set, but looking at the shipping/delivery time, maybe look at other brands with faster shipping times.

Thanks.

It looks like Xenon Depot is no longer owned by "Art of Light Inudustries" out of Canada. The receipt I just got from them is from "The Retrofit Source" out of Georgia. I have reached out to Xenon Depot on Instagram for more information.

...also, Xenon Depot's website is now listing their address as "2195 Defoor Hills Rd Suite M | Atlanta, GA | 30318" - the same address as TRS.

I ordered a set of interior LEDs from them on the 10th never got a tracking email or anything (but the invoice email said the retrofit source which threw me off). I had to reach out to them to see what is going on. They pulled money quick but no tracking email. Customer service went to complete sh*t. Sorry to say but I am very disappointed with this whole deal of them being bought out. They use to have amazing customer service.
