Non-LED alternative for DRL
Non-LED alternative for DRL
Hi Guys,
I've been wanting my DRL to be a bit whiter/non-yellow. I was contemplating going LED but I wasn't too keen about loosing my high beams and also from what I read, the LED's don't last too long, even with the new DRL modules that are out. So from my research, I came across the following: Mtec Cosmo Blue 9005 65W bulbs. I like the fact that they look a bit whiter and I still have functional high beams. Plus the great thing about the Mtec's are that they come with a lifetime warrantee...if they blow out, I just send them back in the original package plus $6 for shipping and I get a whole new set...not too shabby. Anyway, on with the pics...passenger side are the stock bulbs, driver side are the Mtec's:

...was it a PITA to install? Can you share what the cost was for those bulbs? Thanks much...
looks great....I think I am going to look into these.
Edit: I just read on a few Toyota boards this is what they have used and had good success!

FYI: not sure if this applies here also but read this as you may need to get this due to the wattage of the bulbs?

Looks the best out of everything I have seen from what I want and you dont loose the high beam.

My girl got them on Ebay...search for "mtec 9005" and look for the Cosmo Blue type. Make sure you don't get the ones that are 110w, get the 65w. Also, get it from a authorized Mtec dealer to get the lifetime warentee...Darshana S...
