Is there any way to change the bulbs to LEDs or something? The current day-time running lights look really cheesy, it would be great to be able to change them somehow. Thanks in advance!

of course you can

 

heres a link that will tell you all the bulb sizes for the 3G TL- (add to favorites as it comes in handy! )

Heres a link to a popular LED site-

I personally havent changed mine YET but i WILL be doing that soon!

 

Some have said that LEDs in the drls aren't that bright so double check that. I got some 55w yellow bulbs in mine and their pretty bright.

 

I have: Nokya 9005 Hyper Yellow DRL's.

 

Just take the fuse out... Looks better with them off.

 

^^ +1

 

I put Silverstars in mine and it's better than the stock bulb but not by much. When they burn out I'm probably going the yellow bulb route too.

 

i guess im the only one here that actually likes them.,... with the car lowered and them on it makes the lights look very aggressive.....

 

i like them but some pple just hate them huh...change the bulb color put leds or just put some hids..

 

how many watts did you get if you dont mind?

 

Yea, dont really like the look either. happy they didnt have them on the 04.

 

+1- did that as soon as I brought her home.

 

there are 2 different ones that I know of. The 35w's and the 55w's. It's best to use the 55's cause the 35's will be too dim. 55's will be bright enough for drls. The other option is to throw hids in. I wouldn't put LEDs in for the fact that they really won't shine the way you want them to.

 

Won't the low voltage of the led bulbs cause your dash indicator "drl" light to remain on?

 

thanks for the response, but in this case i think it might be different O_O i looked up Nokya Hyper Yellow on Amazon. there lowest 2500K bulbs are only 65W, i couldn't find 35/55W on any of the bulbs for sale. I even googled it

http://www.amazon.com/Nokya-Arctic-Y...5505823&sr=8-3

Would this work then? Any feedback would be greatful (:

 

or these? O_O

 

haha just noticed i didnt post up the 2nd link Lol...

Those eBay ones are fake stay away from those. The amazon look ok I think I paid like $20 for mine at a store nit online and I do remember nokya's to have a label like that one. And there are low wattage ones cause my brother bought them and put them in his rl and weren't bright as mine are then he changed then to the ones I got 55w and now they're the same brightness.

 

WHere is the fuse what one do you pull? Help please. i also hate those daytime runners. And the fuse that you pull, only controlls those lights?

 

I used these bulbs: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/D...-p5168723.html

They don't give you an error on your display. They aren't super bright, but they do look A LOT better than the dull yellowish stock bulbs. I've had someone stop me in the parking lot to ask me about them, and another TL-S driver on the road compliment me on them.

 

thanks, good lookin out i made my purchase thanks again!

 

It is in the fuse box in the engine bay. By the driver side, by the strut bar.
It's a 10A fuse I think. If not it's a 15.
Look under the fuse box lid and it will tell you which fuse is which.

Yes, the fuse controls just the DRLs. Pull it and no more DRLs however you may get the DRL light on the ... thing. Gauge cluster center console.

 

I also hate the yellow look of the DRLs. I tried changing them out once but it failed miserably. Wrong bulbs, not wrong size but wrong wattage.

 

I couldnt get them to turn off, i pulled both 15amp fuses and the 7.5amp fuses and my lights where still on.

Help please!

 

Fuse is in the fuse box inside the car... Drivers side under the dash to your left. I forgot which fuse it was... Do a search here... Thats how I found it. And yes you will get that DRL light on in your gauge cluster when headlights are off.

 

Coop not sure if you drive a type s but if you do the fuse is inside the drivers side footwell like someone stated above....it's fuse #3, and it's a 15A, and it's blue, and at least for my type s there's no drl light or anything on after i removed the fuse...

 

I actually like how they look too. However, I don't like how they stay on when you park, or that they turn on when you turn the headlights off. I wired mine independent so I can control them better. Then if I want just my parking lights on, I can turn the DRLs off.

I actually like the color too. Pure yellow would be ok too. I think pure white LEDs make them less effective. The stock color makes the light stand out during the day better then pure white.

 

i guess that's the one thing that is better in the 04 model...i just turn them off and run my main beams if i need to use lights on a cloudy/rainy day.

 

turn them off!!

 

The bolded text is the whole point of DRLs. They're supposed to be automatic-on because they are designed to be on at all times to help with the problem of idiots who fail to use their lights in bad weather or who don't know to turn on their lights on two-lane roads where you pass over the center line. The two-lane roads are a major reason why Canada has required DRLs for many years now—they make it a lot easier to see an oncoming car when you're contemplating pulling out to pass. (It's always easy to spot Americans in Canada because they're the only people driving with no lights on.)

 

Exactly. I actually use mine, I just want to be able to turn them off when I want them off. My switch isn't just an on or off switch. When the switch is in the on position, the DRLs are all stock.

 

Drl=ftl

 

Haa ha, 7 letters/characters couldn't explain it any more perfectly.

 

FYI the fuse is #3 15amp on the driver side interior fuse panel.

 

i just changed mine to 6k leds

 

i just pulled out the stockers for some white LEDs and it looks niiiiiiiice. the DRL looks very close to the low beams now.

it's an awesome mod with no DRL light on the dash and no resistor voodoo. plug and play.
