Default DRL/Highbeam

Hey cl, i am looking for some drl/highbeam (halogen) bulbs that will get rid of that stock yellow look and give me more of a hyperwhite/ultra white look. I am not looking into LED's because I want to retain the functionality of the highbeams. any suggestions are helpful, thanks.

Yes you can have the dealer shut off the drl's and you will only have the parking light bulbs to contend with and keep the high beams functional.

If you decide not to keep the high beams

1) take the fuse out for DRL/High = no oragne light during the day
2) LED DRL = look at my signature pic

^ Bulbs won't help. Either turn your DRLs off or replace them with LEDs and lose your high beam functionality.

I have the 68 LED (size:9005) bulbs with the modules.
Haven't seen the new 2x brighter ones, but mine is REALLY bright at night.
