the drl is the hibeam lite running at low watts thus the yellow. when you turn on your lowbeams the drl turns off.

ok i did the puddle lamps, was pretty easy. the only thing was putting the dam mirror back on and still i think its still not secure enough but i was working in the dark so i gave up. will attempt to secure the mirror on more. instead of 3 screws i see 4 on mines, one on each corner so i just unscrew took the back cover off and twist out the housing and i see the bulb. much better now but will post pics tomorrow night. too tired and was sweating alot dam its heat.

well i found it much easier to have the mirrors facing up cause it's just easier for you to slide your fingers under there...afterwards u just pull on the mirror from the bottom and it'll just come right off...had to use a bit of force...but noone will break this...just use a reasonable amount of force 
a tip to others, once you remove the mirror, on the bottom u will see a white clip...undo-ing that clip will make it much easier to remove the back cover...i thought the back cover was much harder to take out...that thing is in there TIGHT

done i finished. i did the opposite way of takin it apart actually. instead of puttin the bottom in first i did the top for the hooks to go in and the push the bottom in of the mirror. might be easier that way but oh well. it worked for me so now its all good. i just got my drls from warden will do tomorrow cuz its rainin and wet here plus so many mosquito bites. from the look im not sure about the brightness. I used polargs any recommendation for more brighter lights then these or these are the best. next would be drl then interior dome.

you mean the 1watt drls??? their not supposed to be bright the whole idea is to have the drls off but for those who dont wanna argue with the service advisor/risk damage by the monkeys at the stealership, this is the most viable alternative, also in low light conditions it looks great 
for what?
