hey guys, i want to swap out my oem DRL bulbs on my 08 tl. does anyone know the bulb size? is it difficult to change these bulbs? thanks

 

did you check your owners manual....should be in there...

what are you going to replace them with....

 

want to replace them with yellow DRL's

 

9005 bulb size

 

I've done this.........I'm at work right now but I wanna say I installed the Nokya Hyper Yellow 9006 bulbs. They are very very yellow too. Sorta a PITA to install but not too bad. Wear plastic gloves so you don't get oil on the bulb itself. Looks sweet!!
I suppose you'd want pics.........again I'm at work so can't post them from here.

Hmmmm may be 9005, I'd have to check at home......you can always look in the manual too.

 

thanks for the imput guys, im gonna check the manual..yes pics would be nice. did u see i posted night shots of the yello fogs in your other thread? camera phone, so kinda grainy

 

hmm im on ebay now and looking at bulbs. i always buy nokya, they are inexpensive and work well. anyone know why they are 2 different packaging types for sale? same bulbs though???

 

I saw that you posted them.........but sadly they are blocked here at work.....

 

I'll try to send you the link to the one's I bought when I get home.......I think they had a good price too......

 

yea they are on ebay for less than 20 bucks shipped, just not sure if the diff packaging means ones not legit, u know

 

just ordered a set of nokya hyper yellow bulbs off ebay, 9005 size

 

Nice...........your gonna love'em

 

I just looked down on my desk........and guess what I found!?

Yes, they are indeed 9005's and the place I bought them from was:
www.advancespeedshop.com

Direct link:

Got them pretty quick too. Anyway........good luck with your mod.

 

thanks for ur help, ill post pics as soon as i do it...hope its not too much of a PITA to install these lol

 

I found the passenger side was a bit hard to get out......but finally got it. Instructions are in the manual.......don't forget your gloves......

 

lol thanks man

 

I order some 9005 leds from V-led to replace the DRL bulbs and they look 10x better. Check out this thread with pics: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...highlight=9005

 

^^^^
werd! i have them they are sweet 100x better. if you wanted yellow shoulda just stayed stock! they are yellow already!

 

stock isnt yellow, i want yello like my fogs, nokya makes a very yello bulb thats inexpensive and lasts a long time. i have had no problem with that company thus far

 

I've seen the LED's on a local TL-S and you can barely see them during the day. At night they look good. But the yellow Nokya's are sweet day or night.

 

SWEET!

 

I just converted from nokya yellow DRL to white LEDs...I had fun with yellow while they lasted....

I can definitely see them nice and bright in the day time. I was following someone on the highway one sunny day and he told me how good they look from behind~

nice and bright I tell ya!

 

You musta had different LED's than what my friend had. Glad they are bright and working well for you.

 

Anybody have pics?

 

haha...I got the same led bulbs from v-leds.
the difference between my TL and your friend's TL is my DRL doesn't have the nipple brackets in front of the bulbs.

our canadian TL don't have that.

 

i got nokya yellow drl, and these look awesome you won't regret getting it i had mine on for 6 months with no problems what so ever!!! i'll try to post a pic up.

 

here ya go!!!




enjoy!!! these really turn heads GUARANTEED!!!

 

nice man, thanks for the pics! cant wait for mine to come

 

What brand? This can be such a minefield of confusion; like, how the heck is someone to know how they'll look ... once installed? There's SO MANY brands on the market now, hard to know what to take a chance on.
thanks

 

You probably wont get a response as this thread is 8 years old, however stick with some of the more reputable brands and you should be ok, ebay ones are hit or miss. vleds, diode dynamics, endlessrpm are just a few brands people use on here.

 

• So are these DRL's 9005 single beam LED's?? They look good!
