Default Model numbers and web site please!!

I am wanting to change the bulbs for the DRL and the fogs. I dont want to do a HID kit though for the fogs, I just want a bulb that will make the DRL and the fogs have the same appearance as the headlights. I am not after the bluish look. I just want the lights to all have the sane hue. Thanks guys



ps I know we have discussed this before but the thread tends to go all over the place. I just need some model numbers and a recommended web site

forget about the DRL, no matter what bulb replacement it will still be the same coz' it's running at 50% power.

V-leds.com ... buy the bulbs and relay module so it won't run 50% power. You will lose your high beam tho...looks awesome during the day...not yellowish anymore.

ah so that's bulbs with relays, not just the bulbs

curious, when your low beam is on, why the inside parking lights aren't on?

Sorry, don't have any pics but the color match is spot on. Couldn't be happier.

Are you talking about the wedge bulbs next to the DRL? If so...it is on.

I got my DRLs from V-leds as well.. You don't have to use the LEDs, you just need the module from V-leds. Once again, you will lose high beam function.

The Module is required to stop the flickering b/c the bulbs are running at 50%. The module send 100% to the bulbs
