LEDs are definitely brighter and it also eliminate the factory Amber... I also changed the 2 lights above the sunvisors and the trunk. The trunk was so dark before but now it is super bright! I bought those from v-leds.com too.

I wonder if oncoming drivers will start to flash their lights at you thinking that your high beams are on.

During the day,I drive around all the time with my factory HID'S(low beams) on. If I install this kit for the DRL's,can I have them both on at the same time? (4 lights at once)

No it won't... when your low beams are on the small wedge bulb "dummy lights" turn on in that slot not the DRLs

OK,I think I got it now.

That "small wedge" bulb you speak of is a 194,correct? Can you reccomend a 194 bulb that will be white or mimic the look of something similar to the 4300 color?

Yeah, I got it from v-leds also... It doesn't match perfectly but it better than the Amber bulb.

Here is a pic of the low beams with the "dummy light" aka 194 LEDs

Thats a great pic,I really like the look! I went to the V LED site and there are a few of the hid white 194's. Would you happen to recall the part number for that 194 bulb? Also,are your fogs leds to?

As far as the Fogs.. they are just yellow bulbs. I like the 2nd Gen GS look with the factory yellow fogs... Maybe I'll upgrade to 3000k HID kit but I am pretty satisfied with them right now.

Hope this helps!
