H11 or HB4 ?

timmahh

Are you asking what the car uses or what the site has?

The site has H11 and HB4; not sure what the TL uses for DRLs.. only one way to find out!...

DNPhotography

but will it throw a DRL light in the dash?

timmahh

i dunno they are $10 each try 'em!

jdmturbosol

the DRL's in 2007 acura tl's are HB3/9005 bulbs
A couple suppliers sell super bright white single LED's on ebay that are sick

Would this fit ?ebay

i much rather turn drl's off than change the bulb, imho.

Vanilla_Gorilla

So you have personally seen cars with the bulbs that you mentioned above?

Seriously I don't care to have them or not but since I have em I like em. Im siting in the car, not outside soooo, doesn't make a difference to me during the day.
BUt...

If I could get them BRIGHT WHITE, that would be better!

Vanilla_Gorilla

I agree, so i want to see some pictures of TL's with some super white lights (LED's or not) in place of the stock DRL bulbs. Has anyone made the change?

Eoanou

Even if you change the bulbs it won't change the color, because the voltage of the DRL are very low, so it'll give that yellowish glow. It's been tried by others with other bulbs. The best thing to do to change the color of the bulb is to tint the headlamp housing.

Evader

Very well said. You can change the bulb and it isn't going to change the output wattage. You can always do what I did, just remove the DRL fuse and bingo your set :o ) I took my car to the dealer to have some system messages reviewd on the navi screen, everything was set and I get a call from the dealer... They said " We're going to need your car overnight, we've been searching an indicator light message for over four hours and have been unable to pinpoint the problem" He mentions it's the indicator for the DRL's.. I was like, if you look at my paperwork it states that "Customer has removed drl fuse, please ignore the dash indicator" Morons! lol

I have super white 35w 9005's i got from the local store here and they work fine
i also replaced my fogs which are h11's with yellow polarg 35w bulbs.

35 watt hid kits do not work for the drl's they flicker

I have not used the LED DRL replacements
heres the link

they are only one watt im not sure if the DRL light would come on
I personally would not put anything thats not exactly 35w in a oem application that requires 35w.
Especially on a 2007 vehicle.

jdmturbosol

I just ordered a set off of ebay
I will try them but im not keeping them
so if they work i will sell them to you

Steerpike

This seems way too logical ... have others tried this and encountered problems? Is there a permanent, annoying indicator on the dash when you do this? If not, it seems elegant and quick!

timmahh

Not correct in this case.. It's obvious the stock DRLs use a halogen bulb and produce a yellowish color due to the low voltage/wattage going to the bulb; however an LED does not change color based on the supplied voltage, and thus should not have an ugly yellowish hue to it.

Swapping halogen bulbs may not make a difference; but swapping in an LED cluster bulb will.

Vanilla_Gorilla

Correct, in addition, LED's are low wattage lights. They should work fine. I'll wait to here how they work.

kosstick

drl = daytime running lights right?

Vanilla_Gorilla

Where did you use the super white 35w 9005's that work fine? Also, do you have pix showing the fogs with the yellow bulbs you replaced?

kosstick

Evader does it show a stupid indicator light in the dash if you take out the fuse and do you have directions on how to do it?

jdmturbosol

yes

sorry to thread jack but
what are we all doing on an internet thread
dont any of us work
Im at work now.....shhhhh.....

I will post pics tonight of my fogs and drls
the drls are just white they have no blue hue to them at all(not yellow at all)
they yellows are however awesome and light up the sides of the road at night awesome

Vanilla_Gorilla

DRL = Drive really low!

kosstick

Im at work ahahhah but I guess im being lazy right now lollllll

Evader

It shows the DRL indicator light, but i'm sure if you remove the dash panel you can just remove the bulb for the "DRL" indicator light. I just chose to ignore the DRL dash light.

jdmturbosol

I was wrong about the fog light
the fog light is actually a h8
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...140613339&rd=1

these are the actual ones i bought and i love them

timmahh

I'm at work -_-

But i'm the IT guy..!

kosstick

Lol aah hey guys the type s 07 comes with xenons right? Those arent HID right.. They are just bright... What colors are HID And what do you recommend me changing them too I got NBP

Evader

Yes we work... but who says we can't take of some AZ business while at work. haha My stomach is growling, hmmm wonder what to eat today

jdmturbosol

they are HID stock
i would leave the stock color hid bulbs in also
they are the most efficient

the DRL's are however halogen

kosstick

btw what is the logical point for DRL's?

Evader

Safety...well atleast that's what the engineers would say. I would rather pay a few extra bones for my car and have them installed with matching hids from the factory.

timmahh

^ a few extra bones would be like.. $800+

And what the heck would be the point of having Bi-Xenons and then DRL Xenons?

For those who flat out hate the DRLs just turn on your headlights. They go off automatically.

kosstick

drive in the day with the head lights on is pointless WHAT SAFETY? roflll Oh ya thanks those halogen bulbs saved my life made me see the car infront of me MUCH MORE EASIER.

Halogen > Sun

Vanilla_Gorilla

I'm multi-tasking at work.

So you put the super white 35w 9005's in for the DRL's? And they are white? Cant wait to see the yellow fogs. I think they would look sweet on my NBP Type-S.

jdmturbosol

the point of drls is so that other cars see you not so you see other cars

HID drls would blind anyone coming at them and they will not work with the stock wiring and a HID conversion kit. 35w 12v is not enough
you need at least 55w to run HIDs because they change your voltage to 24v and 35w

heres a cell phone pic of my fogs i took on break. i forgot to take the pics of the white drls sorry i dont know how i forgot

Vanilla_Gorilla

Where's the beef...errr...pic?

jdmturbosol

ahh horrible picture
lol
you cant even see the fogs

i take a pic tonight in the dark so you can appreciate or maybe even see it

Vanilla_Gorilla

Sounds good! Thanks!
