Default Yellow DRL's

So I've been lookin for some yellow 9005 LED's for a long time now. I have no clue where to find them, they only sell them in white... any ideas?

What bulb are you talking about? If you are talking about that little bulb it is a 164/198 size. The high beams are 9005

I wanted to put them in my highbeams, they would still be 9005 right? And the 164/198 are the little running lights in the low beam, right?

what year are your headlights? that would help a little. if you want the driving light in LED they are what the gentleman above said. if you want the HIGH BEAMS to be yellow, look into yellow bulbs or HID's. I don't believe you can get 9005 in LED.

I dont know why would would want them in the highbeam spot, those are 9005 but that doesn't seem smart to me. Do you ever use your high beams?

http://superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/s...t=CAR#1157-x12

link should work but superbrightleds.com has it, i was thinking of doing this also but u need to get a seperate harness and wire it up to turn on when the car is on, otherwise u wont have DRL's since the TC doesnt come with it. you will loose your high beams and trying to just drive with only ur high beams on wont work since the headlamps have to be on



good luck i might go for yellow leds or cool white hopefully its bright

tkevin07 i think me and u are on the same page here. We should colaborate and get this project rollin. U dont think we could just plug in some 9005 LEDs into the highbeams and that would work. I personally dont really need my highs.

That would not work because the low beams come on too, so there would be no point.

It depends on how much light the LEDs put out. Since the high and low beam aren't independently adjustable, you could still be a nuisance to oncoming drivers.

That little bulb you posted it not a 9005 bulb, that is the bulb that goes in the low beam side, he wants a led or something that he can put in the high beam.
