Every bulb is a 194.

Glove box and center console is a 74

The lights Vleds has for 194 is overkill for the interior. They used to have cheaper ones that costed like $8/pair but now they went away with it and only offer the brightest which is $20/pair.

Too expensive

Is there a promo code for the 20% off? I went to my shopping cart and got to the final order review but it wasn't discounted 20% off.

9005 bulbs. the 10XB led ones are just fine. The ones that cost over $100 is way overkill for DRLs

Don't buy Morimoto products from VLEDs.

I suggest you buying straight from the source which is;

www.TheRetrofitSource.com and use coupon code "acurazine" for 15% off the price.

It will be cheaper than buying from VLEDs.

Don't understand what you're saying.

Are you saying you what "light blue" colored LEDs? If that's the case I'm sorry to say that VLEDs doesn't sell 9005 DRL bulbs in any color besides 5k or 6k white.

http://www.vleds.com/5k-white-10-led...45-1-pair.html

That's what I have.

I know it sucks. I just looked. I mean I'm sure 6k would look nice tbh. Do you have any pictures with your DRL lights? I'd like to see how it looks on 5k temp.

Matches very well in my opinion. It's not 100% but it's close enough and I'm not complaining.

I have the 3Five in 5k and they are just fine. Never tried the XB35s but they're supposed to be better at a extra cost.

Unfortunately 2004-2006 TL do not have daytime running lights. They only have fog lights in the headlights.

There are no DRL conversion kits that I know of

idk, i don't think im a fan bro so no offense. I've seen like gentle light blue color on some TLS as DRL. If i would have to pick a temperature for it would prolly fall within the 8k - 10k i guess?

Some people have different taste. Some better than others. I myself cant stand it when I see people driving around with 8k royal blue or 10k purple headlights and fogs.

Looks very sloppy. Hell the light output isn't even usable because it's so dark but people will sacrifice light output and safety to look "cool".

Same goes for the people that buy cheap LEDs for license plates and interior lights that claim they are "white" but end up looking very purple or blue.

It just gives off the "cheap" vibe to me.

5K neutral white is where it's at. 6K is acceptable but I prefer clean and simple 5k white.

True lol...I'm running 8K on my headlights and fogs so please dont judge me ...they're not as blue as I've seen. I like em more going to that ice white blue stage . I've been considering to switching to 6k though because my visibility does suck and i drive around dark places most of the time.

Yes you need the harness.

Factory DRL bulbs only get 6v each.

Those LED drls have a operating voltage of 12v+ so they will not light up if you just plug them in without the harness.

That's pretty much why that harness was even created in the first place.

It draws power directly from the battery which is 12v+ rather than the factory wiring which is only 6v per connector.

Don't buy those $200 ones if you are planning on using them for daytime running lights... That is way over kill and not necessary. The $60 ones are 850 lumens and still very bright.

3000 lumen daytime running lights is just retarded bright. Those suckers will glare and blind everyone especially since daytime running lights don't have anything to prevent glare!
