    Top right corner bulb is called the 'city light'. You can find the size in this sticky. Also, yes.

    Re: DRL?

    I got it from here: http://www.automotivelightingusa.com...roducts_id=527

    It looks sweet, but it's not very bright. I'm probably gonna replace it with some LEDs sometime.

    How long have you had those lights on? Have you had any problems with them being too hot and melting the housing like the problems with the HOEN city lights?

    THanks,
    I've only had them on a couple days, but I don't expect them to have any heat issues. It's pretty much an identical bulb to stock, except for color. And there's plenty of open space around it. I'll be running them for a couple hours this afternoon, though, so we'll see. Also, note that this is not the city light, it's the DRL.

    I think the stock ones are ugly... but xenon match looks nice.

    stock on the left, piaa xtreme white on the right. they look a little more white than in the pics, but you can see the difference from the stock. i'm happy with them... well, at least until i can get some LED DRL's in there! but recently, i find myself driving around more with the headlight switch in the parking light position. i like showing off my LED citylights!

    I use the PIAA's too - but have swapped mine with the indicator positions as I think it makes the car look wider - I also moved what you call the city lights too

    Thanks for the picture. So the Piaa's are kind of white/amberish right? Not so much white/blueish like leds?

    btw, what kind of led bulbs are you running?

    Re: DRL?

    the piaa's are pretty white, but you can definitely tell they're bulbs and not LED's. Like you said, not as blue as LED's. i'm running Buttafuoco's LED citylights. they work great!
