daytime running light bulb - Replacements?
My daytime running light bulb blew and I'm looking for a replacement. I'm wondering if there are some that are brighter that don't error with the computer.
thanks
thanks

DRLs are run at reduced voltage so even if you use a "whiter" bulb it's not likely to look that way. That said I turned mine off - would rather use my LED AE's for a DRL effect.

daytime running light bulb replacements
I just replaced my DRLs with a white LED version I purchased from eBay. They look great and no error code. Much brighter than the low light yellowish factory light bulbs. Let me know if your interested and I can send u the exact set I purchased and help on the install.

I actually did the opposite of what you are looking for, I put in these NOK7616 - NOKYA HYPER YELLOW H7 55W 2500K Head Light Bulb 5735 | eBay pure yellow H7 2500K bulbs. Kinda wanted to give it that yellow LE MANS look and when its turned off at certain angles it makes the whole reflector turn yellow. Cool and different but not for everyone. Was just bored and wanted to do something different, no error codes either.

Yes. I need to replace the daytime running bulbs.
Although, I'm interested in making the yellow ban lights (the yellow strip above the headlamps) brighter as well.
