Default Replacing running lights

I have a quick question about the lights adjacent to the headlights (i.e., the inner lights). I have a 1998 GS4 which does not have daytime running lights. When my headlights are on, those inner lights are really, really dim. I'm wondering if anyone has replaced them with something a little brighter. I'm not looking for anything radical, just something a little brigher to compliment the headllights (which, by the way, are non-HID). What have you guys done? Any pix? Thanks.

ur DTRL is ur actual high beam light bulb that bulb is a dual flint bulb... most ppl call the little small bulb a wedge bulb.. if you have stock HID 4100k and want to match it, there are numerous bulbs that can match it off the top of my head Polarg M6 bulbs. but if you have something more along the lines of the 6000k go with either Polarg M4 or get those LED wedge bulbs..

check the lighting section....you will find tons of threads on this.

btw...as joshoowa mentioned....most CL peeps call them "inner lights".... wedge bulbs. The DRLs for GS models that have them is actually the 9005 High Beam bulb at low wattage.
