RE: H2 DRL REplacement bulbs?
I found these on eBay. I know LED's are supposed to be crazy bright but this has 32 bulbs, so my question is, is there some type of regulator so the housing only gets a certain amount of volts, causing the individual bulbs to be really dim because of the number? Does that makes sense to anyone? For example math time...
Say the DRL light socket gets 35 watts of power, would you divide that by 32 so each light would only get 1.09 watts? Sorry for the dumb question, here's the link to the lights I saw.

I saw something like that on the net, except it had a couple of leds facing backward at the reflector to more evenly disperse the light. As to the wattage question, I am not sure about this, but I think those LEDs use less watts than regular bulbs, ie lower watts less draw on the battery. Voltage is still the same, so each light should be bright. If the total number of leds used more watts than the factory ones, then you would be at risk of melting the wires that feed it. IMO.

I put in amber 4157 bulbs for DRL's. They look good and are fairly bright. I can see the amber glow on the road at night while driving. Also I have my DRL's wired up to be on day and night and the 4157 bulbs haven't burned out yet and it's been 6 months since I putthem in.
