So I've been trying to replace most of the incandescent bulbs with LEDs around the car. What is your guys' take on those weird little dim DRL style bulbs that are sort of behind the high beam spot? I'm not really sure I want that to be brighter, but the yellow glow really dates the car. I thought I might just pull them out from the socket and go with none, but was wondering how anyone else approached the decision.

I never noticed a yellowish shine in the high beam mirror, but perhaps you can replace those bulbs with chrome design ones. I have them in my front blinkers, but those ones light up in bright orange.
Ah, I see what you mean. In pics, these turn out clear and white looking, but in person and at night they just have that dull incandescent yellowish color to them. Was just sort of looking for opinions on what, if anything, anyone has done with them is all.
Which led's are you using? When I tried replacing the interior bulbs and headlight bulbs your talking about they wouldn't illuminate. I was using sylvania led bulbs
I got most of mine from superbrightled. They also sell load resistor stuff that you can hook inline to let the light operate more like a standard bulb.
