Well that explains it. The DRLs are yellow so might as well be yellow all the way lol. But I changed mines to white instead.

No high beam (normal driving)



With high beam (full power)

the OEM's are fantastic,they are perfect IMO.
and i think that the "blue purplish" colour is an old thing in cars,and it's for corrola and camry driver's who try to get their car's a better look..and they are always trying to get the color close to white but they rarley do that.. at least this is the case here.

we have a very nice wide bright colour,it's great.
it's nice the title has been edited to clear that it's a taste issue.

Default washer trick

Has anybody tried or checked to see if the washer trick is possible on our cars?

I removed the DRL bulbs and put and LED bulb in there instead...thus elminating them as Hi-beams....but the xenons do click up (or open up) when I turn on the hi-beams.


back on topic -- I find the color ouput is a little yellow for my taste and am considering 6000K. Note-there is a significant difference between our 4300K and some BMW's 4800K color....I had a 4500k kit on a 2IS that looked great...I now have OEM xenon.
