Wait... on egay there are like 160+ results for yellow 9005.

Or you can do what I did and get a cheap HID kit for the highs.. Takes a while to warm up, but looks damn good. (use only if you keep them on for long periods of time like me)

From what I know...there isn't a good way to do that and our "roadlamps" are plastic unlike the TL's so they cannot support any quality bulbs except LED's.

If you get LED high beams, would they be as bright as regular highbeams? I'd be looking to run them with the headlights on the main roads.

Would I have to re-aim them? Has anyone done this?

^ I think you can buy a DRL kit to hook up to your highbeams. It would run them at half power i'm pretty sure.

leds will NOT be brighter than oem. only thing brighter than oem bulbs for halogen lights are HIDs (if you buy the correct temperature bulbs).

you want to run HIGH beams at NIGHT on the ROADS? you want to blind people? or you mean during the day?

DRLs are doable, i posted something a few months ago. basically there are drl kits made, and they're universal.

DRL - daytime running lights???

I believe so...that makes sense.

That would be cool.

Anybody convert theirs and would like to share their experience?

Could I just convert the high beams?

If you do the DRL switch on US spec cars, will the low beams be on at the same time as the "low powered high beams" or how does that work? I know the CAN Spec CLs' have the DRL function....

How does the US spec DRL conversion work? Will the low beams be on still with the "low powered high beams" - that make up the DRL feature?

its an aftermarket kit and yes you can actually choose what percentage of power (full is 100%) you want to run, just look into them if u want to.
