hip_hop...pretty much any bulb you get is gonna look yellowish on the drl because during the day that bulb is not on full power...i swapped mine for nokya arctic whites and when they are on highbeam they are very clear, but on drl they still have that yellowish look...its not as bad as the stock bulbs but its still kinda yellow

finally got around to changing out my lights to leds. very happy with the results! i think my interior dome lights may be too bright hahah. i'm actually blinded from the front dome lights. i try not to stare at it but it's within my peripheral vision. i was also able to fit the led festoon bulb in the trunk light. took some bending here n there but it fits! hahah.

i also decided to put blue refactors in the puddle lamps rather than white leds. i had originally decided to use white leds in there but vled sent me red leds instead of white. so since i had the side mirrors all taken apart i decided to throw in some blue refractors that i was gonna use for the door light. i didn't think it would look good but i actually like it. it matches the illuminated door sills and it will also match my door light once i get another set of blue leds. here's a pic of what it looks like:


i like how the blue reflects off the paint. hmmm i wonder how it'll look on a gfm hahah.
