Default For those of you who have changed DRL bulbs...question.

I replaced all my bulbs in my H2 with the blue bulbs... you know the ones that glow a cool white color. (not like Mercedes HID's, just white bulbs)

I haven't had any problems with my lights on my roof, driving lights or headlamps but for the DRL's, well, they keep blowing out every month or so.

I bought them from a fast and furious type import store. It was the best (if you can say that) quality bulb they had. Free lifetime replacement...

Turns out after mentioning to the owner of the shop, he did some digging and came up with this.

Our bulbs are 4157's. They produce 35 watts of power. The bulbs he gave me to use (since that's the only ones that he can come up with) are 3157's which are only 27 watts.

I guess that's why they keep blowing.

Anyone know of the correct replacement bulbs and where to get them for DRL's in blue?

Thanks,

Mark
