If I decide to leave the 4300k in what is the best match for the parking light? I don't want the parking light to be brighter compared to the 4300k.

The parking lite (citylite) next to the drl, change it to vled 9smt white bulbs. Trust me on this, you will not regret it.

I'd like to do this also. In your opinion, are these a good match for the stock 4300k HIDs?
Also, where can I get these?

Thanks!

EDIT: Found these: http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=40_114&products_id=348
Are those the right ones?

So does the Vled 9smt bulb match the stock 4300 HID bulbs well?

What about the Hoen-USA City builbs?

Also, what is a good match for the 9005 DRL/High Beams if you want to change those out?

There is no match for the Drl cause they are not on at the same time, so therefor whatever color you like. and thats what I am trying to find, If anyone still has the DRL turned on what color are you using and where did you get them. Post a pic if you can

Here are the correct labels as detailed in the Lexus factory service manual:



This diagram clears up the whole "city light" debacle (there is no such thing) as well as clarifies which lights are really "parking lights," and "front side marker lights."

Ahh now DRL... this is a bag of worms...

OPTIONS
1. get some service dept to turn it off.
2. get a 9005 LED (but you lose hi-beam)
3. get whatever you like to match the lows when hi-beam is on BUT you'll still have that ugly yellow when you dont use your hi-beam.

I went with LED, i dont use hi-beam AND i think it looks cool like a mini-hid

That's because people like you keep calling it the wrong name...
