I bought Yellow DRL boards from Ali for $44. Results inside.

Do the boards from AliExpress not include thermal paste or pads?

If not, I'll need to crack open my computer-tools case to see if I have thermal paste remaining.

The ones I bought came with thermal paste.

Mine arrived today with a tube of thermal paste.

Update: We installed a different set on another MKV yesterday and they turned out great. He actually got them off amazon, so you don't have to deal w/ ali shipping and have amazon buyer protection. Price was about the same.

Tip: We did notice that this set had a blue protective film over the LED's so be sure to peel it off before installing. Also, there wasn't any thermal paste on the back, so we had to apply some fresh paste and clean off the old paste from the heatsink.

Even in direct sunlight shining right into the headlights, you can see them super bright, as seen in pic below:

This is amazing news! Curious if we have something similar in store for RGB modules.. really want to "paint match" mine if you will...

Did you click the link? There's an RGB model.

Ahh I ended up going to the end for the Amazon equivalent as it would be much faster shipping with prime... that being said there is no RGB option on the Amazon page.. will continue to check their profile if maybe there is a separate posting

Is the general consensus the rgb modules are less bright than solid color? Enough so that it could be questionable?

Still one of my favorite mods. Simple and makes a huge difference imo. I went with IND last year. Good to know Ali is just as good.

Yeah I’ve had really good luck with Ali and order quite a bit from them. It’s usually the same stuff you find on Amazon too but takes longer to ship. It’s worth it to save a lot of money though. I was just hesitant since it’s something for a $60k car.

Did you buy the Yellow or Amber ones?

 

[MikeyG_U2]

OP,
Thanks for this. I was just about to order some expensive ones using a Black Friday discount, but the discount is the same as the total price for these from Ali Express. I'll give these a shot (ordered just now), if they fail, not a big loss.

Finally got around to installing these today while swapping on my Summer Wheels/Tires. They accidentally sent me blue ones instead of yellow I'm really glad that I tested after installing just one of them. Would have been super mad had I done them both...

The blue looks cool, but I'm not willing to tempt Johnny Law to pull me over for having blue (Blue and Red are typically reserved for emergency vehicles).

Now I get to see how responsive the seller is 6-months later...

Well, joke's on me. I accidentally ordered blue... Even though the title of the product is CSL Lemon Yellow DRL LED boards For Toyota GR Supra, they offer it in multiple colors and I didn't pay attention. Also my return/refund window is long past.

So I learned a valuable lesson to share with you all, pay attention to the options when ordering these from Ali

I want to pick

Do these stay yellow when the low beams are on? I would prefer to only have them yellow for DRL. Not sure if that’s a option…

 

[30MilesOffshore]

@chachaanteng they stay yellow 24/7, the only time they change a different color is when you put on the turn signal (who does that? lol) and then it will blink the color of the OE turn signal (orange).

Are there options that changes back to OEM when the low beams are on?
