I just received mine from FTEightySix. Not sure if this is their new batch or not, but if anything goes wrong, at least there's warranty.

By auto, you mean the DRL's get dimmer when the headlights are ON?
And is there still jumpers to choose whether you want both on or off?

They haven't updated there website yet . I've been waiting for this on my 10 series since I prefer plug and play as much as possible to wire tapping.

And most importantly, completely waterproof and shockproof! Unfortunately this meant no more adjustability, but we think it's at a good average level of brightness for the DIM function.

Both modules (BRZ and 10-series) will be fully in stock next week, and FINALLY will remain that way for a very long time.

Thanks!

Did anyone order EU/AU/JDM module lately? Me and my friend got EU modules (new version - without the adjustable brightness), both had the same 'no DRL' issue.

After i emailed them, they took the product off the site. No idea if there are problems with USDM version, but i see it's not available either.

Ordered full led set and now these are unavailable hopefully they can get some where both are at full brightness whenever they get more in stock. I enjoyed having both drl's on at full brightness

I had the USDM version and had the same issue, the replacement module they sent did not work either.

Interesting you say that now, I just installed mine and noticed they don't dim AT ALL when the headlights are on, the DRLs stay the same brightness. I do think the DRLs are dimmer now than before (haven't tested yet but planning on unplugging one side to be sure) but I didn't want them just dimmer all the time, that wasn't the point of this, the point was to have them at MAX brightness during the day when the headlights are off, and then have them dim when the headlights are on so as not to blind on-comming at night, what's the deal DD? You guys neglected to update the product page too, still states "Additionally, this module uses PWM dimming in order to automatically dim the DRLs to 50% power when you turn on your headlamps, just like many OEM vehicles, so the DRL isn't too bright at night." which seems incorrect now. (plus there's that video showing adjustable modes which is also no longer available)

Hello,

The module dims when the parking lights or headlights are turned on. They are still pretty bright at night, but they're dimmed. If yours is not dimming at all, please contact us. The only change is that it is not adjustable.

For everyone else- we are now seeing a problem where some relays (the extra brown relay itself) don't make full contact in the fuse holder socket. It is extremely frustrating because we are having a very hard time testing for it- it seems to be on a vehicle by vehicle basis. We are actively testing a number of BRZs in order to determine exactly why the relay is not making connection.

Thank you.
