Those pics are great, any ideas how much only the bulbs would cost? I have the stock 4100's and they have a yellow-ish tone.

I had the same contrast with my stock fog lights and the HID. I actually purchased the Sylvania Extreme White or whatever they call it - they were about $25 each at Kragen and they are really bright and match the HID nicely...

What bulbs and wattage are you using for your DRLs? I was thinking of upgrading mine to match my HIDs.

haha, actually my 98 gs4 does not have any DRL so i don't have to worry about it. but i heard that there is no way you can match it coz' DRL is low voltage high beams and with any superwhite bulbs there you get BLUE light during the day.

for night time driving light i have the m4

actually i have hid headlight and fogs on my other acura already, so i don't feel like doing it on the gs4 as well (look too boring). i am looking to get a set of stock yellow fogs and put superwhite inside to make them brighter. that should do it

I agree with Rominl - there is no real DRL solution since it is such low voltage everything looks yellow. YUCK!

I did, however, throw some Polarg M6's into the wedge bulbs for nightime driving - wow that's bright!!!!
