LED DRL issue 2005 EM2
I replaced my DRL from halogen bulbs to a LED bulbs and when in DRL mode only the passenger side comes on. Although when using my highbeams both LEDs work brighter than ever. Also the passenger LED that does work is much brighter in highbeam mode compared to DRL mode. Any suggestions as to how I would get both LEDs working in DRL mode, maximum brightness preferred?

Re: LED DRL issue 2005 EM2
Gonna need to find LED bulbs with a working voltage range that dips down to 6V. I know TRS has some, albeit pricey ($120/pair), that have a working range of 6-30VDC., meant for DRL/high beam purposes. AFAIK, most LED bulbs out there are happy at 12VDC
If you (or those reading) don't know, most DRLs, including the 04+ civics, work by using the high beam bulb at 6VDC, but when high beams are activated, full 12VDC is applied
