adding some DRL's (no 56k)

So as the title suggests I'm adding DRL's, I'm planning on hooking them up to the parking light circuit and installing them in my high beam area. I'll still have high beams but just adding very bright LEDS. My question for all of you is should I go white or yellow? I thought yellow would look cool like fogs but idk I'm undecided I wired up the leds with resistors tonight and am going to install tomorrow. Let me know.

btw since I made a thread, I spotted somebody, two nights ago on the Whitestone bridge right out of the toll plaza, PA plates, white 1g slammed, person had dreads, I waved in my silver CL

I will try yellow than. I looked for amber but couldn't find one's with the output I wanted. I'll post some pics, but they may not be up till much later today.

Well, overall I'm very happy. I ended up using amber turn signal bulbs, the LED's just sucked as far as output.

So they go on with the parking lights and I still have high beams as well. Love the look. Sorry no day time pics, I just got them tweaked the way I want.

You can't see the bulbs either. I do have to match my outer parking lights now, but no biggie.

Also threw in some pics of my new LED interior lights and my neon plate light.







sorry interior pic sucks, took 20 shots could get one good one, but the dome and courtesy lights are now white LED

mods can you add (no 56k) to the title?
