If their responsiveness to shipping inquiries is any indication I would not expect any kind of warranty support whatsoever.
It really pisses me off that there was zero indication of a buyout anywhere on the website at all.

You guys should check out: Retro-Solutions Store
I am running their Digital brand hids and LEDs. I been running their products
Since 2006 with my Acura using their ballasts and bulbs to this day with 0 issues. Their customer is excellent and shipping eta is under a week. I gotten items as fast as 2 days. The owner is Todd and is super helpful.
I run their products on all of my vehicles’ fogs and headlights.
Their led bulb also works with the 4 runner DRL with no module.
The only reason that everybody runs Xenon Depot is bc they are sponsors on every forum out there. And people in here see others run it and everybody jumps on the wagon.

I ordered them before Christmas to take advantage of their Christmas sale and discount coupon. They arrived the week before Christmas and I haven't installed them either mainly because I was sick (great way to spend the holidays
) then waiting for a pair of dust caps from Toyota (just to make sure) and now it's too cold.Soon as it warms up a bit I will install them and cross my fingers about support if I need it.

If I were to purchase the LED's today do they come with the new driver or would I have to buy it separately to fix the DRL issue?

I believe you have to select the DRL driver when you choose the it you want. It'll ship with the old driver and the new DRL driver (at least it did when I ordered mine at the end of December), so just make sure you use the correct one (it's listed as "DRL Driver" on it).
You are correct, bulbs will still come with the old driver because its technically a universal bulb size whether its a high beam or low beam without being a DRL.
I too would be interested in knowing which brand.
Anyone know if the DRL Driver is compatible with other LED? I'm thinking specifically of the SuperNova V4..
Well I just ended up ordering the XenonDepot XTR HID kit with the Philips 4300k bulbs and the Xtreme LED 9005 with the DRL module.
I shied away from the SuperNova V4 due to it being too high in the color spectrum.
Hopefully this will all match with the OEM fogs I just got.

Last night I installed my XenonDepot Xtreme HID with 4300k Philips bulbs and the Xtreme Pro with DRL.
The results are impressive, to say the least. Tidying up the wires and mounting the drivers was a pain though.
My one concern is the HID bulbs. I’m not convinced they’re fully inserted correctly. When I twist to lock them in they don’t twist far. They just will not twist any further and appear to have a hard stop. However it only takes a few degrees of counter twist to release them. While they are “solid” I feel as if it wouldn't take much dirt road shaking to cause them to come loose and fall out.
My gut is telling me I’ve only installed them on like 30% of the tab and the locking nubs are preventing further turning. I’m fearful of breaking the bulbs. Any tips?

I solved my HID bulb install issue. I called XenonDepot who confirmed the bulb should install a quarter turn and only go in one way. So I headed back to the car....
I took the bulb out and tried again. It still would not lock a 1/4 turn. I took the rubber seal off and tried again. At first I got the game results then with more wiggling it went in 1/4 turn. So now I validated where I should expect the bulb to “lock”. I tried again with the original seal but again I could not get it to go in the whole way. So I looked at the original halogen bulbs (also Philips) and they had similar seals. But these were a little softer and appears to be a might thinner. I swapped the seals and tried again. Success! I did the same with the other side and again success.
So TLDR, if you are having issues getting yourPhilips H11 HIDs to seat properly, try swapping the seals with the original halogens.

Yep - you got it. You have to swap the O rings. They are different sizes.

Other bulbs?
Has anyone tried the DRL PWM driver with other bulbs? or talked to other companies about creating their own version?
I have supernovas, and would prefer to not buy new LEDs... but the DRLs are pretty bright.
In the process of contacting headlight rev. to see if supernova or GTR have something in the pipeline.

I installed the other day, the driver side seems to be in place, and has a straight break line across the garage. The passenger side was harder to get in and now that it is in, I’m not seeing a straight line across the garage. From inside to out the line is slated up. Probably because it’s not turned in all the way? I feel as though the turn I have to make is counterclockwise to get the flat. Anyone have similar?

Just spent 30 minutes fiddling with the drivers and wiring trying to figure out why they were not working in DRL mode. Then I found this. All good now. Thank you for sharing!

So, how well do they work in DRL mode? Just read most of this thread and not a lot said about performance re doing both brights and DRL.
