I guess I don't really know. It's an '05 with extensive dealership maintenance history. I would imagine the owner would have had it done. Is it easy to see under the hood?

I don't have one but it should be near the AHC res on the passenger side

Yep that's the one.

Yep that's the one.

So I guess I don't know whether that means I should or shouldn't expect the Morimoto's to work as both high beams and DRLs , lol, sorry I'm just incompetent when it comes to this stuff.

Good morning,

I just reached out to the product testing team and unfortunately, the bulbs will not work for your DRL. Most high beams that double as daytime running lights use a PWM to actuate the DRL rather than just using lower voltage. Because it uses a PWM instead of low voltage, the bulb will just flicker and not run in a dim state.

I asked if we have any bulbs that will function properly for the DRL but unfortunately, we don't have any that will be compatible.

FWIW, they are offering a refund for the bulbs and the anti-flicker module. I might just see if they'll take the anti-flicker module back since I don't really care much about the DRL functionality... at least not enough to pull the battery again to get the driver-side bulb out lol.

We do not have PWM for the high beam DRL function. Only 6V
