I thought you could only shut off your "approach" lights through the DIC, not your DRL's. :confused:

The whites look good with your color car.

I believe it is under options. I turned mine off from there while playing with all the settings. I turned them back on though because I like the idea of some knucklehead being able to see me a little better.
I think your mistaking DRL's for the approach light feature.

I replace the stock DRL/turnsignal yellow bulbs with APC super white bulbs. I wanted them to match the PIAA 1100X driving lites that I just installed.

They don't look that bright when they are on with the PIAAs.

Will have to check it out at nite.


are these driving lights on a Z06 or are they on a regular C5?
if on a Z06 how much did they run you installed if you don't mind answering.
Just curious

They are the PIAA 1100s installed on a Z06. LAPD had a sale for $159 shipped last month. The regular price is $185+shipping. Installed them myself. You need to make a bracket to install them. Also need the switch from GM.


Here is some info and pics I took of the brackets:

Send all you thanks to Bill (wt2ga) as he is the original designer of these brackets. I just copied his brackets.

Here are some pics of where they are installed:

Here are some instructions.

This one is Z06 specific:

This one is Coupe and vert but will also help you:

This pic is of .125 pieces of alumnium. They are 2" wide and you can see the height of each piece:


This is a closeup measurement of the 2 holes that you will drill:


Each piece is 2" wide:


Pic of both pieces put together as they will be. Drill the hole in the small piece:


In this pic you can see the 2 small holes to the left. I drilled these and double flushed some small rivits to hold the pieces together. You have to have your fastner flush at least on this side:


Here is the pic of the finished item:
