Cause I saw my friends and the bulbs that came with his projectors are yellow
as heck, the DRL, is it worth changing them?
Pic of what i mean

i have hyper whites for both set and i've noticed that they're still yellowish since the DRL doesn't have 100% power to it..... there was a difference, but not that dramatic......

or what i can suggest is to change the DRL lights to those old style "rainbow" looking lights. Remember those? They came out before the hyper whites and everyone used to cop those. Well, if they even have the rainbow bulbs for your DRL lights I suggest you get that... or else, you'll forever have the yellow driving lights.... FOREVA!!!! hahahahhhahHAHAHAhahahahaHHAHAhaahhahh hmm... I'll shut up now! j/k

Well it's better than having a yellowish looking DRV lights... as far as attracting "fruity" guys are concerned, I don't know... I don't look at it that way! You have to be "fruity" yourself to look at it from that perspective. HAH!

On Eurolite the lights are yellowy upon DRL but using RAZO, the lights are white, but not bright, but its WHITE, not yellow.

well get anything that doesn't have a dark blue colour glass. cause IMO that looks bad.. because there is a blue reflection on the chrome part of the circle..i have projectors and i left them the bulbs it came with, but replaced the low beams with F1 Spec H1 bulbs..

when i had my stock housings... i used Sylvania Cool Blues.. and they didn't leave a reflection of blue bulbs in the housing.. unlike the other cars i see around that used the bulbs with the really dark blue bulbs

if you look under your steering wheel little bit above your pedals you should see a whole bunch of wiring, then theres a box with a whole bunch of fuses, you can take out a screw so that the whole box comes down, most ppl dont' know about that, they try to fit their hands in the narrow space.... anyways i think everything is labeled, cause thats how I changed my signal timing fuse

I remember awhile back someone posted in the forums stating that only the PIAA Super Plasma bulbs give off a nice white light in DRL Mode. In high beam mode it'll give off plasma colour though.

If you're really keen on something, you may want to look into LED technology and see if you can somehow mash in an H1 bulb that's got LEDs, but that still has enough lumens to be an effective high beam...???

Kinda expensive tho, PIAAs just to get a white DRL?

I replaced my stock DRL to the Eurolite Xenon's and I think they look a lot better then stock. Just spend the extra $10-15 bux on the bulbs... it's not that much money.
