Thoughts on amber drls vs white? (morimoto xb headlights)

Which looks better

 

I prefer the amber.
Too often, white DRLs coming toward me are just obnoxious (too darned bright).
There's no reason for DRLs to be so darned bright. (Looking at you, GM and Ford!)

 

White because it's brighter and more noticeable/irritating. That's the whole point of DRLs - to be noticeable for safety.

 

I changed my drl's to low lumin led's, they are more noticeable than the factory and not too bright as to blind anyone. I almost went amber, but I went with all 5000k. I have switch backs in the blinkers.

 

I believe that Amber will be more visible to traffic driving into the sun, more visible in inclement weather…

 

I could see that, I just preferred the white to amber.

 

I live in a rural area with lots of heavily wooded two-lane back roads. Being able to see into the shoulders of the road is very important. In my experience, clear driving lights are best. I actually switched to amber recently (for aesthetics reasons) and the loss of visibility vs clear is tangible. I'll probably be switching back to clear soon.

I have the optional hi-perf LED fog lights on my 5th gen and they are very good. I was pleasantly surprised.

 

Any limited pics?

 

Get the EVO and choose your own.

 

I like the look of the old ones better

 

Could you send a picture with just drl on

 

Yeah I can grab some pics later in the week. I have them set to white DRL.

 

Prefer everything stock for lighting in my 23 4Runner. Everything seems good enough to me lightining wise.

 

Appreciate it.

 

I forgot I took a video. This is hazards on.

Saw that

 

Amber for sure. I think they looks awesome on the 4R

 

Seems like my phone camera doesn’t like them at night. I went white because I figured more visibility and they change to amber when you hit the turn signal. Most if not all cars have white from factory.

 

I like the way they look.

The white must really be bright.... cuzz they are with your phone!
Do they throw much light to the sides.... like a cornering light may?

Are you going to post up some real world pics of how they look ?

 

They are pretty bright when you don’t have the parking lamps on but they dim slightly when you do. I’ll see if I can get a pic at night with just them on to show output.

Yeah I’ll get another pic of them during the day so the light output doesn’t blow out my camera.

 

Both look good. In snow/rainy/gloomy conditions amber looks incredible and gives old school vibes. It's hard to capture amber in photos.
White just looks more crisp and modern. I switch them around every few weeks. Takes 3 secs a side.

 

It's too bad they didn't come up with an on the fly switch you can add into a factory spot.
