Well of course you can get away with side markers being red, but we're talking DRL's!
I think I'm just going with clear....I'm military and the cops are rediculous in WA state!

Default Red LED's installed in place of DRL bulbs

Okay, here are the LED's that I purchased at lunch today. I aplogize for the pic qualities, but I just got a new 8MP digital camera Saturday and I don't know how to turn of the Red Eye reduction crap. So the bright RED DRL's look an off shade, but I can assure you, they are nice and bright red. They look absolutley wicked!!! Now we will see how long they last before I get pulled over.

Yep I got them at Autozone and they were in the lighting isle with the rest of the bulbs. They are called Jam Straight LED and the part number is 3157R. It is a direct replacement for the regular 3357 part numbered bulbs. There was only one package left at my store, but since it is a stock item I am sure they would order some for no charge. Hope this helps.

dammit, I think the formula's have a different bulb for the DRLs. I'm going to have to do some investigating.
