Default Which Brand Bulbs for yellow DRL?
Basically I been lurking around but haven't really decided which brand bulbs I wanted to go with for my DRL. I wanted to go for that yellowish jdm look but having a hard time deciding which brand bulbs I wanted to go with because they are all around the same price. So my question is for those who have yellow DRL which brand did you decide to go with and why? I'm stuck between Putco, Nokya, and Luminics.

On my G35 I ran both Nokyas and Luminics, and I feel the Nokyas had brighter, more usable light output.

Which one lasted longer? I want something more like a golden yellow not a fan of the pale yellow

Putco, golden yellow.

Hard to capture the correct color, I'll try again!

just to make sure our DRL/HighBeams are 9005 right and not 9005XS? do they make a difference?

IS2FITTY, the difference between XS and regular bulbs is that XS is straight connector... doesn't have the 90 degree bend like our bulbs.. they work just fine... Also, let me know what bulbs you end up getting, I got the ones from iJDMtoy (replace my burnt Luminics) and was truly disappointed....

I just ordered the Putco Bulbs, so hopefully it will turn out the way I want it too
