Am I the only one that likes the stock yellow DRL's??? Seems to me like everyone swapped there's out to led. What's your guys thoughts and preferences?

You mean like a 3500k or 4000k bulb? Nope, not a fan... looks too run of the mill, so I switched all white lighting to 6000k LEDs... headlights, turn signal switchbacks, fog lights and all.

To each their own, though...

Nothing wrong with that. I personally changed mine to leds and love the look so much more. Then that turned into getting new headlights for my Acura and putting the hid kit into the fog lights. Anyways, I prefer the 5k, white w/ no blue hue.

I recently switched over to the whiter LED`s and added the harness that keeps my DRL`s on all the time love the look so much more but, its what you like not what I like

WeflyhereSS · 02-09-2017, 08:27 AM

its all preference , i switched to led they are super bright, i wanted to match the hid, i actually ended up tinting the fog too

Lutatt2 · 02-09-2017, 11:25 AM

Which led would be the ones to get? If I do change I want to go for white. But I've been reading a lot about the white actually having a blue ish tint to it?

Stock all the way around, and Im planning to keep it like that. I did consider the LED tailights at one time to replace the 2014-2015 stockers, but after noticing how many cars on the road have LED tailights, I got turned off to the idea. Like my bulbs, especially the headlights. Im old school.

Gunmetal Speedster · 02-09-2017, 03:01 PM

Mine had the LED replacement installed when I got the car. But I wasn't a fan of how my car constantly looked like it was driving around with what others would assume is "fog lights". So after the first week of manually flipping that switch every single time I got in, I said screw it and just unplugged the harness to each side

I'd love LED reverse lights or the high power ones that are made, I have tinted windows and backing up at night really sucks. But I haven't gotten to the point where I'm ready to tear my bumper off to replace them yet. Such an annoyance.

I switched to LED because it looked odd having HID and yellowish bulbs. If I didn't have RS headlights I would leave them regular bulbs.

I switched mine to the Phastek LED bulbs and I thought they looked great.

The first one burned out in 4 months and the second 3 months later. Waste of money.

Sorry to hear that, my first set was from a vendor that didnt stick around long and they eventually both died. I went with Diode dynamics and have worked flawlessly since I got them. I believe i got them '13 or '14.

Did you contact Phastek about them ? They are good about replacing bulbs that burn out before they should
