Putco and Nokya make yellow bulb in 9005 (DRL) size. I would go with them as I tested both brands for my fogs and had very good results.

Here's some pictures from this weekend.

When you painted your calipers the first time, and removed them, did you use anything to seal off the brake lines?

I am going back and forth whether it's worth painting them removed or just leaving the lines attached and painting then hanging.

I only inserted the screw back in the line hole and taped it.
I did a complete bleed job after the installation!

Haha guess that works. Maybe that's the direction I'll go. Thanks! Car looks great one of the ones I originally saw when researching ISF that made me want to buy one.

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I didn't updated here. I just finished paying the car so I will be able to mod it a little more.
I repainted the caliper in yellow and decided to give the G2 paint system a try. The finish of the paint once cured is awesome but the application is a bit touchy.
I applied some custom ''F Brembo'' decals to finish the look.

Looks great! I'm beginning to like the yellow calipers on this car more and more... Contemplating changing my res ones to yellow actually, lol.
Congrats on full ownership of the car!!

Wow, I just realized those Velgen wheels are very reasonably priced and look great. Happen to know the weight by chance? Car looks awesome by the way. Congrats on paying it off. My car payment is pretty low and at 2% interest it's not much of a priority but will be nice when it is haha.

I searched a bit and in 20's they weight 27lbs and 29lbs. So a little less for the 19's. They look so much better in person, I receive a lot of compliments on them!
