i got my drl's disabled and am contemplating if i should get replacement white or blue bulbs for them or stick with the refractor 5's only, i'm worried that since the drl's are always on, i might have to replace the bubls quite often.

Those are way too blue!! I would think those would actually be illegal. Blue and red in the front are illegal in most (if not all) states.

^^^ exactly what he said.. cops are gonna pull u over for that.. red and blue are illegal in the states.. cuz they're supposed to be "cop colors".. but anyways.. it would look better if u had like 8000k HIDs.. to match at least.

The top right pic looks like the IS has a mind of its own and its glaring eyes haha. It looks good but yeah, you're gonna get pulled over for those eventually.
