I''ll try this one again...
 
I''d like to "freshen up" the DRLs on my ''08 Accord Coupe. They just seem dull. I saw a new Civic with really bright DRLs and they looked great...exactly like what I want.
 
Do you all have any suggestions for bulb upgrades???

I''m talking about the bulbs themselves. I want something brighter...cooler looking...maybe with a bluish tint. But I don''t want to fry anything. Just that custom look to set the car apart from others.
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Where do you get these bulbs? I did a search for them, but turned up nothing. Who makes them?
Thanks

if you dont like the color of the drl''s then you can get hyperwhite bulbs like PIAA or NOKYA. if you dont like the dullness of the drl''s then i believe you''re gonna have to mess with the wattage to make them brighter.  but if done improperly, like you said, could fry/melt something.

Our day time running lights work off of the high beam lights and are only on at 80% if that. If they were on completely it would be like driving with your hi beams on and even during the day that becomes annoying and illegal. You could get a ticket for failer to dim.

kinda on the same subject how do you cut off the DRLs. I have an 06 4dr 2.4 V4 SE and the DRL''s turn on automatically and i''m not sure how to turn them off. makes it difficult to do.... late night.... operations haha

I havent tried it in my car yet but in other cars/trucks if you just pull slightly on the e-brake the drl use to shut off.

i tried the pulling on the ebrake thing it didnt work, next idea would be just to pull the fuse, would that be bad? o.o;;;

Pulling the fuse isn''t bad at all. I pulled mine the first week I had the car. Only thing is you will see a DRL light on the dash when your headlights arn''t on. Totally worth it though, I can''t stand not being able to turn off all my lights at night, and they look like crap during the day.

I havent read the manual yet but the drl`s dont bother me as much as the guage cluster is always on when you start the car.
