Wink Bright Idea!!!

If I replace my DRL's with LED's is there any risk of them getting too hot? Are there different watts or sizes I should look for? I would like to get them at a local parts store, instead of mail order. I drive a 2012 SS.

LED are cooler than factory bulbs, pretty much everyone here already did that, I don't think you'll find a A+ quality LED bulb on local store (then I can be wrong) Here's a lot of sponsors that have them...

PS: I might be wrong but SS has fog lights not drl...

Agree about the LED's.

The lower lights on an SS are actually DRL's not fog lights, goofy I know. You can get an adapter that will allow them to stay on at night with the headlights so they appear to be fog lights.

You are. They are DRLs, at least on my 1SS.

The lower lights are only DRLs if you have the RS package. I have fog lights on my SS.
