View Full Version : Quick question about DRL lamps...

I changed the 3157 bulbs with the PIAA 3157's.
I noticed the bulb had two filaments. If the bulbs are DRL's, what's the need for the second filament?

I did the relay jump so they come on with the headlamps and act as DRL's during the day...

Anyone?

PhilD wrote something about this. Do a search on Silverstar.

Hey Mark,

Here is the information from a ways back..

They just used what was simple, the other filamemt is just for looks! :-)

I replaced my fixtures with an 03 Lincoln Navigator fog light to have nice bright lights at night, and not those wimpy, waste of space, DRL's. Who needs DRL's on a HUMMER...like people can't see you coming?

Funny thing is, I read that post and missed that part...

Thanks, after 4 pages of searches, I was giving up.

I found some cool fogs at Pep boys that had angel eyes like bmw's do and used those for drl's and then converted the regualr bulbs to HID's. Came out pretty nice.
