The DTR lights are halogen bulbs...also known as your high beams running at half juice...therefore cannot be replaced with an "LED day time running light." You are probably thinking of the parking lights (aka city lights) which are in the upper corner of the DTR halogen bulbs. Those bulbs are 198 wedge bulbs...which can be replaced with 198 LEDs...

Check out autolumination.com or superbrightleds.com for your LED needs

The largest is probably 12-LEDs, but you're going to need electrical tape to hold them onto the socket since the bulb head is oversized. If you want a snug fit w/o the tape, get a 5-LED bulb.

the low beams and fog lights are 8000k. they look greenish in the pic but they are blue in person.

well, the hids are illegal... but the cops around here dont care too much about that.

i'm thinking of swapping the bulbs out for some 600k's for the low beams and some 3000k's for the foglights.

Yellow fogs would look nice on a silver lex.
