Polarg M4 halogen bulbs vs OSRAM
Can someone let me know if I should get Polarg M4 or OSRAM to match my stock HID? And where I should get them from.
A lot of people asked how the Osram Cool Blue Bulbs look , so here is a comparison to stock bulbs

I had the dealer turn off my drl yesterday. They were very reluctant until I pointed out that this is a dealer customizable feature according to my '07 GS350 owners manual.
They agreed and did it for free since I was having them install springs and do an alignment. I now drive with my parking lights on during the day; with the putco 360's effectively serving as my drl now. Looks just the way I wanted. Thanks Kevin for all of your research.

I previously had those 360s and found they were even less bright but I didn't replace them because of that, I had a bunch of issues with parts of them flickering on and off.

Does anyone know how well the putcos fit in the plug? I tried to install the vled ones for my city lights over the weekend and they were so loose. They ended up falling into the housing when I was trying to put it back in.

I've had both the putco 360 and the newer putco nichia ones now. The 360s fit snug, the nichia ones since they have no plastic base and are just the circuit board fit with play in them side to side and I originally had some reservations about them but they have been in the car for a long while now and have been driven through nothing but really nasty downtown roads and they have been fine.
Great help.

DRL Led
Hello, I installed 194 360 via your instructions(which were awesome btw). However I was told I need a resistor, I was wondering do you know which one I need?

I installed these yesterday. and I love them. A bit bluer than I wanted them to be, slightly bluer than stock HID lights but still a lot better than factory.
If only I could disable those damn daytime running lights.
Thank you for write up. Was very easy.

All you do is have to ask your dealer. They should do it for free as it's a whole 20 seconds of work for them.
