stupid question about bulb sizing
 

what is the bulb size for that.....?

I'm thinking about converting the running light to white LED or HID. A link to where I can buy
the bulb or kit would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Those are 9005's and you can also use Halogen Infrared Reflector bulbs in the 9011 size ( I did ).

Search is your friend, but the H-11 HIR bulbs are really good. You just need to cut a tab.

so would this led bulb replace the 9005 bulb running and would it high beam as well?

I'm curious about this too, I'd be interested in making this change if its str8 plug and play

This would not work for anything except DRL. The lumen output is probably about a magnitude off of what a real halogen or HIR puts out for high beams. Since you would have no high beams, you may be considered illegal according to state and federal motor vehicle codes, although I know that never stopped anyone, unless you have annual inspections like we do here in VA. Personally, I like having the high beams.

I dropped HIDs into mine. You lose DRL, you get bad @$$ HID for get out of the way action or night driving.

Ebay kits go for $50 shipped, I went with 10k

Hey do you have a pic of these while in DRL mode? are they the same yellowish/stock color when in the drl? because i have 9005 yellow luminics in my drl and i love them, but i'm working on a project right now and might need to get more of a white colored look.

thanks for all the input guys. I think I will go with either piaa bulbs to make it keep both drl and high beam or maybe with a HID kit but I really want to keep my drl. :rolleyes:

I got the PIAA Super GT-X bulbs with purple tints, let me know if you want them. I decided to go w/ HIDs ultimately.

037, I'm itching to get rid of my DRL...so you put HID into the high beam, do you get the "CHECK DRL" message on your gauge cluster?

I do when I have my lights in the off position.

I just drive with my lights on all the time, so that is rarely an issue.

On another note, you will have to go with a higher fuse, standard is 10 and I blew 2 of those already.

My mechanic said a 20 should be fine since the flow is not constantly huge, but that sometimes it spikes and knocks out the weaker 10.
