Headlights

Wassup guys,
Just a coupe owner here trynna get rid of the yellow DRLs in the headlights. I was hoping if you guys could guide me in what bulbs to use and whether the process is easy enough to do myself. If not could anyone suggest some good shops in NJ that would do it. Thanks a lot and appreciate it in advance. Just hate those yellow bulbs lol.

Which exactly are the drl lights? You can change out any of the bulbs from either dropping the bumper or going through the wheelwell. It's a simple do it yourself job

If you want to match the stock headlights nearly perfectly use the PIAA 19172 Xtreme White wedge bulbs.

I went to the opposite extreme, and installed PIAA 19173 Yellow Plasma Ion, they are a deeper yellow than the fogs, kinda looks like darker yellow half angel eye under the fogs.

Using stock headlights LEDs are too blue, even at 5K

i did the v-led hid conversion, its a real pain, you need to remove the headlights, demel the stock fog cap, jam all the new cables into the cap, auto seal it so it doesnt leak and re assemble, totally worth it
