DRL - 9005
Fog - H11

I bought my LEDs from Advanced Automotive Concepts and iJDMStore

Very easy to replace both the DRLs and Fogs from the top; the Fogs you will need to reach down a bit, but its easily possible.

I bought my fog lights on e-bay from over seas and I did not have a problem and they work fine.

I don't like shipping from oversea, what happen if it doesn't work, how would you return it and get a refund? And shipping is very slow.

Forget the PIAAs for the DRLs. I tried them and wasted my money. Since the bulb is exposed in that large housing the shading doesn't really reduce the yellowness of the halogen bulb. Basically only looks a little less yellow than stock.

The Fogs are another story, since the housing is a lot smaller it'll come out looking more white at night. If you look at it directly though the bulb will be yellow. No getting rid of the yellow in a halogen bulb.

If you want that white/bluish look for the DRLs go with the LEDs. Comes out looking a lot better than driving with your Xenon's on during the day as well.

Not the greatest pictures. The fog lights are now 4600k halogen/xeon. The are much less yellow than the stock bulbs. 5000k may have been better.
