I have searched other threads but didn't see my question answered, though I know DRL replacements have been discussed.

Anyways, I am looking to replace my DRL / High Beam with something that is bright yet in the cool white color temp range.

I know that in DRL mode the voltage is only 9volts so I wonder if a regular 12volt incandescent bulb like the Nokya Arctic Whites will show full color in DRL mode and if the are even bright enough (functional) to see during the day.

Or should I go with a LED bulb? Though there are drawbacks with LED's too.

I use my High Beams only to "Flash to Pass" since the low beam HID's are bright enough for me.

Any recommendations for a DRL / High Beam replacement bulb that is "plug-in play", can be used for occasional high beam flashing, and bright enough during the day to be a functional DRL??

 

Kowloon did this last year:

Yeah I read that post but it didn't look like they were very functional as DRL's during the day. At least in the day time picture that was posted, the DRL bulbs looked barely lit during the day.

Anyone do LED DRL's? I like to know how they worked out.

 

i replaced my DRL with nokya yellow bulbs and positioned them into my lower fog lights. im running high beams when it gets darker. see my avatar

 

+1 about the leds. i want to know as well

 

im doing custom yellow superflux 4 into 1 LEDs into the headlights. ill be drilling 3 holes into the DRL area and sealing it up with silicone.
