Default Dumb Question about City Lights 194

http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...-led/6-6k.html

Can anyone confirm that these bulbs fit into the inner headlights socket fine? I've bought the flat wedge bulbs from here before and they fit just fine but these bulbs look alittle bigger and there supposedly brighter so I just want to make sure that they will fit into the sockets ok.

Thanks

Yea bro, i even put these ones in mine, and i would recommend them over what you've linked

They're actually pretty bright for an LED, it makes a noticable difference in usable light when they come on, but it's pretty short range. Anyway it fills up the whole inner bucket with light without "hotspotting"

The driver side install is kind of a biatch but it's doable

it'll probably fit but if they're a little longer you might have some more trouble fitting them back into the housing.

I'm wondering, I've seen other GS driving during the day and their inner day time lights are on, but mine don't do that? They turn on when I turn the headlights on at night though

I wondered this too, I know for CDN spec it's like this:


Switch "off": high beams 50%
Switch 1st position up: high beams stay on at 50%, inner 194's come on, rear tails come on
Switch 2nd position: outer lowbeams come on, high beams turn off but will now come on 100% if pushed
Switch 3rd position: auto

Maybe you have something burned out

I believe that the 01+ have drl's and the 98-00 don't have that feature
