polarg bulbs 168/194, incandescent bulbs have a better light pattern.

I'm having the same issue. Need to find an LED that would match the 4300k lows and fogs color. The LED I currently got doesn't have a good 360 degrees light pattern like a 193 polarg bulb would have. Any inputs on this case? TIA.

Go with LED bulbs for the DRLs. Of course they won't add any actual additional light output but you won't need it since you have HID headlights and fogs. They will match up pretty nicely though.

I would go for a hyper yellow replacement. Gives it the JDM look.

I've tried the Polargs and they don't look nearly as good as a nice set of LED's. I've got LED's from warden_jp2002 on Ebay in mine right now and they look better than anything I've tried. There's a huge thread on this if you search for it.
