daytime running light bulb

[nuchieboy]

alright guys i tried searching but i could not find anything on the different available bulbs to put in the running lights/high beams. i saw those led bulbs on ebay and i know that they dont provide much light but i figured i have hids and i can see pretty well without my high beams...i just want to do it for the look...if not these bulbs do you recommend any other bulbs? thanks guys...remember im just looking for the stand out part not actual brightness

If you want it to stand out, get yellow bulbs. There has been discussions on what bulbs are good

Thread refers to low beams/fogs but same concept. You want to know what brands are good..

h11 syvania ultrastar??

MTEC, Luminic, PIAA

I have MTEC Super White bulbs. used are DRL, its not white...its got that dull orange because of lower wattage. when highbeams are on, its white.

I would of put LEDs but I use my highbeams to flash a-holes.

what do you mean by when the high beams are on they are white? the yellow color changes to white due to high beams? how does that effect wattage

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

the DRL's us a lower wattage so it's not the same brightness as the highbeams, during the day. so it's more yellow, but when you hit the highs on, more wattage = brighter.

The voltage is reduced..................

don't go leds unless you have plans to get bi-xenon projectors bc u will loose flashing capability. if u get bi-xenons then i say go for it.

Its visible. But if you're flashing someone, dont expect it to work.

I have no idea. With LEDs, they run at a lower wattage so I have no idea what would happen.

DRL's run at a lower wattage, hence yellowish look.

Thats why I didnt go LEDs. I need the flashing capability.
