Default Halogen 6000/7000k DRL pictures?

Does anyone have pictures of either 6000k or 7000k halogen DRLs running on their car? Such as a the Nokya 7000k or an ebay version of those? I'm debating between going LED and getting a DRL module or getting a 6k/7k halogen bulb for the DRL so that I can retain high beam function. I know since the DRLs are the highbeams at 50% power, chances are it won't look too white. I want to get them to somewhat match my 6000k HID fogs, anything better than OEM would work. Pictures please!

Dont know about for DRL, but my friend got the Nokya 7000K for fogs, and it does not match with his 6000K low beams (this is at 100% power)

I don't have pics, but I tried this with halogens and the results were very disappointing... It was supposed to be 6k/7k in color but ended up looking dull and yellowish since it was only using 50% of the power.

LED DRLs FTW!

So I want to go with LED DRL's but iJDMTOY doesnt have the slim modules anymore so I would have to leave the housing cap open which I don't want to do. Do I have any other options?

Other option would be v-leds... Module fits inside housing no prob. I posted up a DIY on this a while back...

I emailed them a little while ago and spoke to Thura and she said they don't have the slim modules anymore and won't be having them in the future either :/

I'm actually a "he"... LOL

But yeah, we won't be carrying the slim decoders anymore because the popularity is so low and the market is not that big compared to everything else we carry.

For the halogen bulbs, the true color of the bulb won't be visible during DRL mode since it's operating at 6-8v. The true color will only show when it's running at full power at 12v or high beam mode. When it's running at 6-8v, the color will be similar to the OEM bulbs unfortunately.
