im thinkin of geting hyper white 9005.. i know theres a lot of threads with vleds bu i wanna be able to use my highbeams. what do u guys suggest

 

It will not make the yellowish/cream look go away, this is due to reduced current in the line for the DRLs. You will have a little bit better visibility in the high beam activation.

 

Only way to get rid of that yellow WITH the ability to use the highbeams : blue headlight overlay.

 

Has anyone tried Sylvania "Cool Blue" halogen lights? I've never seen them personally but it looks like they give a slight hint of blue. Not sure.

 

I had those in my last car and they are more of a white not really blue at all. Anyways like Brian said it wont get rid of the yellow look to the daytime running lights because its not using the full current.

 

the highbeams are also your DRL's. what happens is when the DRL's are running, the bulbs are running at 50% power and when highbeams are on, it's 100%. regardless of what color bulb you get, running it at 50% will give off that yellowy/creamy color.

that means if you get a cool blue bulb, DRL's will still be yellow but high beams will be cool blue. the only two known fixes for this is a colored overlay which will allow you to keep the highbeam function of the 9005 bulbs or get an LED 9005 bulb which will run at the same color regardless of DRL or highbeam functions since they run at such a low wattage.

it should be noted that the 9005 bulb highbeams aren't necessary. rather, the low beams will automatically be directed higher to give off the highbeams. the 9005 bulbs are merely served as "extra" or "backup" highbeams and so that people can tell easily you are in fact running highbeams with the brighter inner lights without these, your bi-xenon low beams running highbeams will just look like low beams that glare.

 

your low beams with AFS still pointed upwards when you use your high beams...i replaced my DRL with an LED light,ahhh i hardly use the high beams anyway, i do mostly city drivings here in SO.CAL...

 

i got the mtec superwhites 4350k @ 120W...it's still al ittle yellow but it's a LOT whiter than before...i'm satisfied :P

 

The overlay won't help THAT much with the light color change. There's almost no difference with the overlay. I know this 'cause I have them and it doesn't make a difference and so i just changed out all the bulbs on the car.

 

well keep ur stock bulbs then if u want to keep ur high beams. do u want drl to be on or u just want to switch the yellow?

 

i have the same on my drl the mtec 4x right??? im also running those on my fogs but jdm yellow 4x with these and my hids i dont need my high beams.. but when my high beams are running they blind ppl too bright..

 

i'm not sure if it's 4x but they are damn bright when i highbeam...they got rid of enough yellow and i'm satisfied...it's pleasant =D

 

wats the website where u bought the mtecs.. arent 120w too powerfulll

 

i bought it on ebay from this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=360072917732

ships super fast...from taiwan...got to my house the next day...shipping to canada is only $10!!! for US it's $8! lightning fast...quality product...highly recommended

130W is a lot...but DRLs are running at 65W...which is 20W extra on the circuit (taking into account both bulbs)...i've spoken with a bunch of electricians and they said it's not a problem ....if you are running 100W each bulb during DRL...then ya u'll probably end up melting harnesses or something (but then it'll be whiter haha)

hope this helps

here are some pics =) my first time posting pictures so bear with me






they aren't pure white...but it's definitely a lot whiter than before....btw, taken with my camera phone...pics turned out ok lol

 

Brian is correct. Due to the lower wattage of the DRL, any bulb you put in there will have a yellow look. It won't look yellow like stock but a faint yellow. Best way is to get LEDs for the DRL, but the the highbeam function will not work.
