Must be the picture that makes them look yellowish, but looking into those same bulbs and what I meant as far as fitment is the cap, this bulbs have a rather long heat sink, did the cap go back in place with no problems?

it does have a heatsink, but DRL doesnt have a cap tho..... so it doesnt matter if it has a big heatsink, but just so you know, the one from VLEDs has a small fan behind the heatsink

Im trying to install this on my IS headlights and where my DRLs go there's a headlight cover to remove and replace the bulb and when I remove it noticed that theres not much space between the cover and bulb thats why I am wondering about fitment issues... My main concern is that if I install them my cover wont be able to go back on

hmm, as for IS, i dont think you can install this and put the cover back on, since my friend did installed on his IS, and he didn't put the cover back on

The last one linked by audis886, here IS NOT bright I have that same pair for my fog lights and the light output is pathetic. Good for looks only and nothing else. So if you plan to replace your IS DRL (i.e. high beam with half voltage than normal) you should be OK for DRL functionality but have no useful high beam.

The first one linked by audi886 is that one I am going to install tonight to have useful fog lights.
