Question General Headlight questions Please help

Alright well I have a couple questions I was wondering someone could clear up for me.

The daylight running lights are the high beams but just running at a lower voltage?

Also I was planning on changing these to match the color of 6k lows and fogs I'm planning on buying so

what is the bulb called and which brand would you suggest to match?


Also if these are changed are they just plug and play? But if thats the case won't the have a higher voltage meaning I won't be able to use my highs since it'll burn out?


THANK YOU

Yes Drl are just high beams at lower output.
The bulbs are 9005 and there are a couple companies such as Vleds, ijdmtoy, and oracle.
Yes most are plug and play. Most systems come with a module that eliminate flicker due to voltage jumps.
I think if u don't use high beams that much than get the led kit to match your lowbeams. Your highs will still work but not as bright. If u use high beams slot than just replace ur 9005 to and better bulb such as Phillips or Piaa.

^ Adding to what 509IS350 said, NO halogen bulb will be able to match your 6000K lows and fogs. Another option you have is to have the dealer disable the DRL functionality of your 9005 bulbs.

go to vleds.com and get the LED DRL kit with the relay. It matches HID's quite nicely and really gives the car a nice look
