Default Daytime running lights
Anyone know the bulb size for the DRL's. At a glance i think they are 9006 but i just want to be sure. I want to change the color. I HATE that yellowish look

Hold on, you mean DRL, sorry for it, they are 9005s. Mean time you can change your little lights in it, buy M4 supper white ones.

But if you change to some other color, let's say whiter, you won't even see it in the daytime

I think you mean D2S for the 04-06 (projectors)
and D2R for the 01-03 (reflectors).

Like GS3tek said, if you changed it to white or blue, you won't see anything during the day.

Who uses they're DRL's anyway? Black didnt you say you changed yours?? As a small fav you think you can show me a quick pic and they link where you got urs? Might do my trunk bar and lights all at the same time.

Sorry for the misunderstanding here, I changed my Low beam and fogs, not the DRL, they are not worth the money since they are not noticeble, I tried it on my GS4 before but didn't like how I couldn't even tell there is light there, so I switch them back to yellow ones again.
If you don't like the DRL, and you don't use high beams like me, just take the bulbs out.

The little bulbs besides the low beams are M4s, I just buy them from local car shops.

FYI, the DRL can be turn off by the dealer using the C-best setting, so you don't lose the high beams function

Well Black thats what i mean you cant really see the light anyway. Dunno white will proably be pointless. Just a thought tho...maybe blue like my low's. Purely just for the color look. Whatchu think?
