Default JDM yellows in the DRLs

Does anyone do this? I'd like to change them out b/c I can't stand the color of the DRLs. I figure this way I would at least retain function of the highs, as opposed to going the LED route. Any thoughts?

I read somewhere that using the Nokya 2500 bulbs for the DRL will better if a wiring harness is used? Is that true?

is there a reason for recommending the nokya 2500 over the luminics jdm yellows? the nokyas run at 70w, so i would need to pick up heavy duty harnesses (at least for peace of mind). the luminics run at 55w...

I guess it is cause the Nokya 2500 is more yellow than the Luminics? One of the members in CL runs the Nokya 2500 and looks pretty good. I think it was iSuxel? Or something like that.

i run Nokya 2500k In my DRL. 9005
its not going to run at 75W when in DRL mode. i believe its like 35W

Highbeams run at 65W 10W isnt a big deal.

also im running 9006 Nokya 2500k in my fogs.

no issues since.. and my fogs are on alot. exp since i did the stand alone fogmod.
