In your opinion, are the LEDS bright enough to be used as daytime running lights?

Yes, they look bright an make my truck look different from anothers like mine looks super cool...
1756660
Yes, absolutely. That's how I have them hooked up, they come on when I turn the ignition on. The only problem is that I haven't had them installed that long (6 months or so) and some of the LEDS have quit working. I chalk it up to bad soldering since LEDS don't actually burn out. The LED assembly can be removed from the housing with two screws (each cluster of LEDS) and hopefully re-soldered, but I haven't gotten that far.

They are very bright, night and day, in ny opinion they could function as daytime running lights.

i havent been able to get the LEDs in my headlights to turn on. Not sure if they just dont work or if im not wiring them correctly some how. The headlights have been great otherwise, just wish the LEDs worked.

I would say yes....these are really decent lights.Now i got some phillips that are twice the price for use in the in the kitchen and the are a little more brilliant.These replaced 40 watt incandesent bulbs in a bathroom fixture,and they are just a tic less bright but i really dont notice it.

Very few cars use their headlights as their daytime running lights, because it drains power and wears out the headlights.I run these on my motorcycles, which do run their headlights whenever they're running, day and night. The literature with the bulbs suggested they'd last about half as long as standard bulbs.

Yes, but I don't believe these are DOT approved, so you might run the risk of a ticket if caught on a public roadway using these as headlights. Other than that, I would use a relay with your setup.

Yes. The light output is decent. Not .5 or 1 watt strong, of course, but enough to be seen in daylight.

Not really. They are fairly bright, but directional, as with most LED bulbs. I would use their colored light to light a surface - ceiling, wall or table - but use additional small warm bulbs for decent peripheral illumination.

The threaded area is made of plastic so temperature is their main concern. LED's should be fine.

Not bright at all. At best good for a Daytime Running light. I bought them to use as reverse lights and they are still sitting in the garage. Have not found anything to use them for.

I had someone install them. They're not super bright, however I believe they're more decoritive than for illuminating the road.

They appear to be alright with a spot but I am only using them with bright LED spots. Sorry. I don't mind testing it out though.
1789891
Yeah, we put LEDs though and they work great. Changing out burnt bulbs would be a pain so I would highly recommend a good LED.

I love them....night use should be fine if there is lighting. But these are more fashion than effecient. You should be fine

Yes for the brights not daytime running lights.. But honestly when I had them in my car as the brights they were dimmer than my low beam so it's not worth it.. If your looking for that cool blue tint get an hid kit.. I believe 8000k is light blue and it will look similar to the LEDs just a lot brighter.

DLJ, I've been running mine for quite sometime. They replaced 12v 4w incandescent bulbs and here is what I can say about these. The lumens is close to a 4w, the color is slightly cooler but still warm that people can't tell it's LED. The match up very nicely to 20w equivalent LED spotlights I put on the same system. And the beauty, not one bulb has gone out yet, running daily on a dusk timer for. 4, 6, or 8 hours depending on daylight season.

Yes, they are. That was one of my concerns, as well. I didn't want the look of the older solar LEDs. You may notice a little more brightness but not much.

That is somewhat dependent upon the fixture and bulb type. They will run incandescent and dimmable LED (as long as you have enough wattage in LED bulbs running on the circuit) just fine. There should be very few exceptions otherwise, so I wouldn't hesitate to orders one if I were you.
