Very nice JDM yellow, I think it goes well with the white on your low beam.

Been thinking about doing this for a while now to match my putco fogs, not sure I want to lose the actual high beam function... They do look good though . Got my putco bulbs at xenondepot, club lex approved vendor I believe.

Well these bulbs run at 65 watts instead of the 55 watts that the stock DRLs do, but the extra 10 watts shouldnt be a major issue. Other than that, Ive never head of any complaints.

I think your confusing these with LED DRLs. You dont lose your high beams with these. Just swap out your stock bulbs, its straight plug and play. I have pictures of my high beams on the previous page

Ahhh ya I misread one of your previous posts and thought the color just got deeper, but not actually brighter.

Those Putco Jet Yellow Halogen Performance Bulbs are awesome. We sell a lot of them and they work great for Fog lights and for DRL's as well. They do have a nice deep yellow tone to them
