I recently swapped out my low beans with the GP Thunder bulbs suggested earlier in this thread, and also my DRL bulbs with LED ones from IJDMTOY. The installation wasn't that bad and I've been quite happy with the results. Below are some tips that hopefully will help others who want to do this in the future.
Low beams The steps to replace the bulbs are in the manual, but one step I would change is the part where you remove the power connector before pulling out the bulb.
Daytime Running Lights Bulbs were iJDMTOY 10-SMD-2835. Installation was extremely easy since the bulbs are accessible from under the hood. No errors upon installation, but they did flicker every few minutes so I changed the coding to stop that. Coding was surprisingly simple. I purchased an ENET cable from Antonio on eBay (User: compubuildernet). After purchasing he sent me really detailed instructions with screenshots on how to run the coding program. I then changed the three settings per bulb indicated in RSnic's bulb chart (thanks!) and the flicker went away. Earlier in the thread someone mentioned their iJDMTOY bulbs were purplish, but I found mine were very white. My only complaint is they're not as bright as I would have liked. Here is a picture of them on a very sunny day: |

Oddly enough, Antonio is who I got my ENet cable from and was also instrumental in helping me as I started out coding -- great member of this community! Glad to have helped!
