Maybe you could go with some Silverstars or equivalent that project a whiter light. Just to hold you over until the HIDs.

I actually have the brighter blue high out put lights ,but they still seem yellow now. Oh well guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get the HIDs.

Yeah, I seen that when I was checking it out, but I'm wondering what it looks like with just the DRL's on. When you start your car up and don't have the parking lights or headlights on, I'm curious as to how bright the amber color is when they're on full time. Are they as bright as the standard 4157 bulbs in a clear corner lense?

I just wish someone had a modification to do "FULL-TIME" DRL's. I actually want the brightness of DRL's to be on full time even at night. Someone told me once that it would be a waste to do that because the headlights would over power the DRL's at night,......but that's not true.

When I stand back at night and have the headlights on, I can still see the "dim" parking lights underneath the headlights without any problem.

Anyway, if you get a chance, I'd really like to see what it looks like with just the amber DRL's on. Thanks!!
