Default Day Time Driving Lights - Brighter?

My '98 GS400's day time driving lights don't seem as bright as some others I see.
Can I just switch to a brighter bulb? If so, do you know which I should use?

Your '98 doesn't have daytime running lights.

Yes, changing the bulb will also make it to a different beast, much faster..like 2sec off the 1/4..

try it..

Lol.

@OP, I'm sure you could run a higher Watt bulb.. I'll check the bulb type and find an OEM replacement bulb with a higher output and let ya know.

194 bulb? Some call them city lights. You can replace them with a wedge led.

I don't think changing the bulbs will make the car any faster.
But going "Waaaaaa....Waaaaaaa!" really load while driving definitely works. (lol).

What's a wedge led? Is that what I see in the pic?
