so those piaa bulbs dont work no more for me, the color fades a bit now it looks bad. Any suggestions to change my daytime lights to match my 6k headlights and 8k fogs? I hear the leds burn out.

LEDs do burn out, but they look great. i bought two sets of bulbs for the driving lights and they both looked terrible.

how bout buying a yellow (not amber) bulb and having two different looks? the 6000K/Yellow look when you have the fogs off and the 6000K/8000K with them on?

I did something similar to that..but reverse.

i think PIAA or POLARG make an actual yellow bulb.

i thought the driving lights stay on still when you turn on the fogs? i dont mind the 6k/yellow look. but then with the fogs on it be 6k/8k and the yellow.

right now the bulbs look whitish but then fade to yellowish, horrible look with the bulb.

I saw piaa has the yellow bulbs. any leds that are heat resistant or anything?

mmm i think so...might want to check if POLARG makes one too, because i think they looked different. and the fogs will overpower the bulb you wont see any yellow.

the PIAA looks a little more yellow to me. You think they would be good or just switch those back to stock? these xtreme white ones from PIAA totally killing it

the yellows are just a few bucks...id buy em just to see what they look like...if you dont like it just go back to stock or dont put any bulbs in at all. or buy $5-10 LEDs and enjoy while they last?

but i agree, PIAA xtreme white are terrible.

going to try to switch out the daytime lights if i get a chance today, got the yellow PIAA in yesterday, ill get a pic of the 6k's against a wall too.

Pretty much pure white but with a really light blue tint, i love them. do admit the 8k fogs are really blue, hardly have them on actually, guess more for look now.

Just for comparison of the stock vs 6k headlights.
