where are you finding ones... do they fit without much customization?
i would love to replace my craptastic ones becuz it seems every other rainfall i'm replacing a damned turn signal/running light
what kind of bulb you using, you might check your casing and make sure there isnt a crack in it, I kept blowing up bulbs cuz they were getting wet because the DRLs got so hot, that over time they melted the casing and I will have to find the site I got mine from unless 22fst4u remembers

The LED DRL's don't get hot at all. I bought my DRL's from my cousin for 10$. He had them sitting in his garage for awhile.

yea there is a crack on the front of the lens, which i'm assuming lets water in. i figured if you had replaced the lights with something more "durable" i'd be in. i once found led lights for it, but 1) they were red and 2) they wouldnt blink when i used my turn signal. i would be happy with just white ones, or even a yellow... if i could find out which ones will work

The DRLs are 3157 Series (specifically 3157A or 3157NA).

The 3157 bulb comes in different colors, such as:
3157 ------ Clear Glass
3157A ----- Amber Coated Glass
3157NA ---- Amber Glass (glass itself is Amber, not coated, won't fade)
3157R ------ Red Coated

BTW, by law, red is only allowed on the rear of a vehicle and blue is not allowed anywhere on a vehicle. Blue is for Police and Emergency Only. Having blue lights is more noticeable and higher on the illegal scale than any other appearance mod mentioned above.

I never had an issue with blue bulbs in my blue t/a..seems like one of those things you'd get a ticket for if you got pulled over for something else.

The only reason I'm not doing it myself. Sure a lot of us have illegal appearance mods, but blue DRLs are a hell of a lot more obvious than clear corners with an ORANGE bulb, or slightly tinted tails that aren't blacked out.

I agree though, looks awesome.

They look pretty cool! A guy down at Rod Run had a White 30th T/A with blue stripes, he had the blue fog light bulbs hooked up to blink back and forth and he could also run the regular fogs also, looked pretty wild! Does anyone know if hes a member on here?? He went to the Trans Am Nats up in Ohio. Pretty cool guy
