and all of you guys that need to know if you have p13 or p26, it's literally 5 minutes of your time to find out. if you have a torx that fits, turn your wheel to the right, undo the 3 torx bolts to the wheel well, pull back and the DRL is right there. unplug it and look at the light. it should say p13 or p26...and i'm not kidding, 5 minutes or 10 minutes at most if you can't find your torx right away.
There is zero blue in the 4300, if anything there is a tint of yellow, see below. My bet is 5000k will be perfect.

My bet is you don't have 4300 as if you look at any color chart there is no blue in them.

Here is a decent chart.

My 4300K are very close to the HIDs but do have a little blue to them, but not much. Mine are almost an exact match to the ones pictured above. I got mine from Ofer just before Thanksgiving. Perhaps there is a slight difference due to different manufacturing runs?

Just installed the 4300s today, took 5 minutes. Does the car have to be in drive for the DRLs to be on?

Yes, unless you get a drl harness.

I don't think it's Drive, I think your emergency brake has to be off. At least that's how mine works.

Here are two photos that compare the 7.5W 6000K to 5000K.

To the naked eye, these bulbs are so bright that you can't see much of a difference.
With a camera, you will see a difference, with a hint of blue in the 6000K but not in the 5000K.

If you have a harness that turns on the DRLs at night, when you look at the reflection of them in the tailgate of a black pickup truck sitting in front of you at a traffic light, then you will see that the headlights look yellower than a set of 6000K DRLs LEDs, while the 5000K DRL LEDs are a good match.



This next photo shows the 7.5W 5000K and 6000K projector LEDs when laying next to each other on a carpet. These are the same two lights that are in the photo above.

Auto cars need to be in gear.

M6 cars need to have only the emergency brake off.

Ok, just saw the harness I need on gen5diy, I have a few questions, will the DRLs only still come on in the day? When the HID headlights turn on automatically, will the DRLs come on too, is there a way to turn of the DRLs and use only the HIDs at night, lastly, can I drive with just the halos and DRLs in the day? WOW, thanks in advance

Look at my pictures. The 4300s are the closest match.
