Halogen DRL bulb size

Anyone know the size of the bulbs? Looking to change the color of the light. I hate the yellow color that emits. Has anyone changed the bulbs with success? If so, which bulbs did you get?

I went after this too. Don't have the size info handy, but after lots of searching I can't find anything whiter or brighter. And I can't find another size that could be modded to fit. I put new ones in in case the old ones had yellowed, but no noticeable difference. Sigh.

In my 2013 the DRL's are W5W's, compatible with 194's also, I believe.

I got a pair of LED's to replace the standard bulbs, they were supposedly CANBUS but I still got the error messages. I even tried to shut off the voltage detection using Carly but still got the errors, just for the DRL's though. Shutting off voltage detection worked on all the other LED's I installed, just not the DRL's. I finally gave up and just put the regular bulbs back in and switched it to using the low beams as the DRL's using Carly.

Do you have any pics of your lights? Curious of what it looks like.

I'll give you one guess as to which DRL is the LED in that first pic.

This post has inspired me. I went ahead and put both LED's back in, dash warnings be damned. The low beams are from OPT7.

Looks good! I’m guessing passenger side, lol. For the life of me I can’t see why BMW didn’t have Led/hid lights standard on all cars. Halogens are for rental cars!!!!

Great to know! I found the same, W5W, and searched for whiter versions, but never thought to look for LED!
