Any halogen upgrades for DRL's?

weetweet1210 · 02-08-2017, 03:33 AM

I have a 2013 F30 and I'm upgrading from the ugly halogens. So far I've replaced all but the DRL bulbs with LEDs + resistors and love the look. Since I can't seem to find resistors for the DRL's and I don't want to recode the car to remove the flicker, I'm looking for 5500k halogens. Are there any halogen options?

Yes and those all seem to be LED's. As I said in my post, I can't seem to find DRL LED's with resistors and I don't want the flicker. Looking for white halogen options, not LED's

The incandescent bulb is about as white as you'll get without going to LED. Just about any LED, with resistors or without, will flicker. You can however, code the checks out of the system to where they won't flicker. I've been running the IJDMTOY led DRL for going on 3 years without a single issue. They are listed as error-free, and they never actually gave me an error message, but they did flicker. A quick coding took care of that though.

I will be trying these as well.
