Lightbulb daylights

can the daylights be changed to xenon lights or a white light instead of a yellowish light? i was reading up on the fog lamps forum...does the same apply to the day lights (bulb or film)? how much will this cost to change? are other colors available? anything but yellow. thanks.

you can put super white bulbs but it will still look yellowish. forget about hid, it won't even be able to power up the hid

I think its just the 9005 high beam bulb, but on daytime running light mode, it is a lower wattage, so most bulbs will look a bit yellow.



I just swapped out the city lights with blue wedge bulbs, and it puts out a nice glow when the parking lights are on....

I have PIAA Xtreme Whites in my high beams (9005) and when in DRL mode, they only burn at half power.
This results in a yellowish tinge that is not seen at full power.

You can:

1) Disable the DRLs all togehter

2) Do the full power DRL mod

3) Convert them to HID like I did
