I already mention it on my first replied, the bulb style for DRL is 1156. Just incase you need the bulb for your HID, it's D2S bulb.

DRL's really help at dusk, dawn, or dark cloudy days especially with drivers that insist to leave off their headlights until it's completely dark. I have no idea why you would disable them as they aren't hurting anything.

How hard is it to change the DRLs? Do you have to remove the bumper?

No it's very simple. You can get to them by just popping the hood and reaching behind the headlight housing. There's a large round cap that twists off and then you have access to the bulb housing which you also twist off. Driver's side is a bit tight though; there are some bunched wires in the way which you can disconnect to make more space but I haven't found out what they are for yet so I haven't disconnected them yet.

Since when? My turn signals flash when I lock and unlock the car, not the actual HID headlight bulbs.

Hmm...which package do you have?

Maybe it was when my alarm went off not when I unlocked it. You gotta give me a break I've only gotten to drive my car 4 times haha

Just to be sure, this is the number for DRLs, not the HIDs right? I want to change my DRL bulbs to a much nicer color, but of course I'm only doing it for that reason. I like a nice white, not the yellowish.
