This. Wattage will determine how bright the lights are, not the color.

If you want them to match the headlights you will want to check out the 4300K bulbs. 7.5 or 11w are both fine. Feel free to call us if you need help ordering.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Same to you.

So Apex....it turns out that I have CCFL Angel Eyes installed in the DRLs.... I feel like a ding dong but I truly had no idea those were not factory lights. SO--we were able to trouble shoot and determine the inverter was bad... I called Oracle this morning and they are sending me a new one. But after convincing my husband to help me take the car apart to figure it out, he may just be getting "mod fever"....with the lights so I certainly will be in touch when we get ready for that.

Thank you for your order. Be sure to post some photos after you get them installed.

This may have already been asked.... what exactly does the harness do? I know it makes the DRLs come on with the headlights but I'm wondering if my headlights will be on during the day along with the DRLs?

I would like my DRLs to automatically turn on when the headlights are in use but I don't want my headlights to turn on during the day and waste bulb life is what I'm getting at.

No, it just keeps the DRLs on. It does not change anything about how the headlights work.

Chase the bulbs look GREAT, so much more light at night also. The install of the bulbs and the harness took about 10 min and that included jacking up the car to make it easier to get to.

Thanks Chase for you help with this order.

Just put in the 11 Watt 4300K. Great improvement over the yellow! May end up going with the 50-80 Watt 5000K in the future though, still debating...
