Any X owners have their bulbs burnt out on the DRL already? I have recently changed my bulbs for about 3 weeks now and already one of the bulb is burnt out. I know another owner also had his burnt out 1 week after owning the car and they were stock bulbs. So I am starting to think its not the bulbs but current being too much or something.....

Any inputs?

Why would you swap your DRL bulbs already if you dont mind me asking. Fog lights I understand but DRLs... anyway I am sure that if the bulbs were exactly the same capacity wise they should be ok so you guys are missing something or there is an epidemic of burned out DRLs which isnt bad cause there are a ton of people who dont want them.

On my MR, which came with HIDs, I took out the DRL bulbs the very day I first received the car. The bulbs are in plastic bags on the bench. I assume they're still good.

DRLs are such a waste. When I need to blind someone driving towards me, I just use the high beams.

^^again, you haven't seen them with hyper yellow!! Its night and day difference in appearance. But since we have bi-xenon, I don't like high-beaming anymore because as you know HID takes time to warm and when you high-beam, it just pops on and off without being warmed up....

I got these LED 1156 LED bulbs in eBay and they have a white light like HID. And they are very low temperature and low wattage. A little pricey though at $45.00/pair.

Yes direct replacement for any 1156 bulb. This is for a White light HID look. LED also has an Amber color but more orange then yellow. Not as nice as yellow regular bulbs. LED do burn cooler though. There also is a:
2 Yellow 10+3W LED Reverse Tail Light Bulbs 1156 7506 93 in eBay but I am afraid this might be more orange then yellow. they are to expensive to just try.

LED bulbs burn cooler , last longer and use less power.
