So my DRL’s are the toshiba ones that are factory fitted to the car (I think), and are a horrible yellow colour.
I bought some replacement bulbs from eBay, the blue xenon ones that emit a brighter whiter light (they are amazing). The only thing is, is the original bulbs are single filament, whereas the new ones are dual filament. I cannot find any single filament DRL’s online, and as the light socket is only for single filament bulbs, only one of the filaments is lit up when the new dual filament bulb is put in.
I have now bent the wires on the bottom of the new bulbs so that now when they are in the car, both filaments are lit up, making them brighter.
Is this okay, or am I risking melting the plastic?
Thanks.
