Acura TL DRL

Hello Acurazine,
I'm a newbie here and I drive a '04 TL WDP 5AT that I'm in love with. I'm want to convert my headlight fogs to DRL's but I'm torn on the color. I was thinking about red, but everyone has said blue would look better. What color should I go with? Any color suggestions are welcome.

1) I would think most people would want to get rid of DRLs, not add them in, but not my car.
​​​​​​2) Is it even legal to have red lights on the front of your car? There's an obvious issue with that... It's why people stick with yellow for fog lights.
3) For that matter, is it legal to have blue lights on your car? Since you also me tinned red, I'm assuming you're talking vivid cars here, not just 7,000K bulbs, right?

According to GA law, I believe it is illegal to have red lights on your car, but I believe it allows blue. I wanted to add DRL's because I wanted to the Inspire or Accord fog light mod soon so I won't need them. Lastly, I'm confused by your last point, but I was just going to get some colored LED bulbs

Having them too bright can blind oncoming drivers, even during the day. Stick with the standard 9006's.

No on red. 6000K should fit your needs

6k or even 5500k. Red would be uncool. Check out www.vled.com.

Red lights facing the front and Blue lights are reserved for law enforcement and/or emergency response vehicles only.

I just got some leds that are pretty damn close to the headlight color. Wiring them up tomorrow to be controlled by the factory switch, independent of the headlights.

leds were 25 bucks.
