Has anyone changed their stock DRL to aftermarket ones like high performance halogen bulbs?
if so, can you post some pics please.

Define High-performance? Because DRLs dont use as much power you won't get full potential of your bulbs.

If you switch to angel eyes you can just put stock bulbs back in and use angel eyes as our DRL right? Why spend more money for the Arctic Whites?

I threw away my stock bulbs. Yes I can use my angel eyes as DRLs but really unsure if want to use both the DRL and angel eyes or just angel eyes by itself.

ill buy your nokya hyper yellows if you want

xenonmatch

the xenonmatch are 80W bulbs, and our stock bulbs are 55W. Did you have any electrical problems, or overheating from the housing or wiring damage?

Xenonmatch Factory Wattage
Höen xenonmatch bulbs are optimized to match the color of OEM HID low beams or Höen xenonmatch plus and Titanium bulbs. The xenonmatch line is a true 4,000k bright white lamp that replaces the factory 'yellowish' bulbs as seen in the image above. All xenonmatch bulbs operates at vehicle manufacturer suggested wattages and are plug and play, easy to install in minutes.

I've no problems whatsoever so far. The ones I got are 29.99 + shipping. http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm. I got a pair of the ones on top and a pair of ones on bottom for fogs.

I switched back to stock because my "white" bulbs looked yellow. It's because the car doesn't suppply full power to the bulbs unless high beams are desired.

Yeah don't think white lights can be achieved with our DRLs, hence why some ppl are installing angel eyes or LEDs in their headlight housings. Since I got the bulbs already though I didn't see a reason to change them out. The blue tint when car is parked looks good too.
