What i bascially want is all the lights to be white or blue not the ugly yellow. Would it be possible to just switch the bulb from a yellow to white without having to do ballasts etc. Let me know if you need anything cleared up.

THANKS GUYS


Almost in the same position as you -- not liking the yellowised Canadian DRLs on my 03.



What you might be able to do is put in high k high beams for the DRLs (say 8000k bulbs) so that they burn (close to) white at low volts. I never found a post on google with anyone that did that for a report on the results. Naturally, you'd sacrifice actual high beam performance.


There are several posts here about USA/EU folks turning off/relocating the DRL function. One avenue I'm looking at is making the corner markers in to DRLs. I have no idea if its possible/feasible but reprogramming with a GT1 (or similar) has been highlighted in several threads here. Depending on how you wanted it, it could turn in to a wiring monster, as Zulu said.


Half tempted to mask over the darkness sensor so the autolights come on all the time.
