Super Whites, are they too bright on DRL?

[DrunkenTiger]

i was thinking of adding super white xenon lights on my celica. Do you think having Daytime Running Lights with xenon will be too bright during the day? What do you guys think in general? I don't have the cash for H.I.D and Im trying to get my lights to look white.

I doubt it. There's a very good chance they'll still be yellow as DRLs.

bluebomber, what about your phillips visionplus h7 lights. Are they more white then yellow? What other bulbs can you recommend.

Nope, the VisionPlus are basically the same color as stock. I've actually replaced them with Philips BlueVision bulbs (slightly whiter than stock), but I'm too lazy to update my sig. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure which bulbs would come out white or blue as DRLs, but I do know that the ones that do will be almost useless as high beams. The blue coating on the bulb will have to be pretty strong to change the DRL color. This will have a negative effect on vision when you turn on your high beams, since the bluer the light, the harder it is to see at night. I had blue headlight bulbs in for like 2 hours before I replaced them because I couldn't see anything at night.

As for brands, everyone loves PIAA and I've heard some Raybrigs and Nokyas last long. I had MTEC bulbs from David Draper, but they burned out after a few months. He does give a 3 month warranty on them. They were a perfect white as headlights.
