Dumb DLR Question for 2004 LC100

[soberman001]

Friends
I am checking my owners manual to replace my burnt headlamp. I wanted to order low and high beams in one buy, and I thought I would get the DDL bulbs but.... is that dumb because they are the same bulb as the low beams?

I wanted to get yellow DDL's but retain the white low beam. Is that possible?

(I am not near my truck when asking this stupid question)

The DDL are part of the low beams. Basically it's the same bulb, but running on a decreased amount of power so it only produces partial light. When you turn on the low beams the relays then provide full power to the bulbs.

So, in short, no you can not have yellow DDL's and white low beams. If you want yellow, then replace the bulbs in your fogs and roll with those on all the time.

Thanks. that explains why my DDL never burned out. Appreciate it.

What is a DDL? Daytime Running/Driving Light? I thought they were the high beams at low output on the LC, just like the LX.

I thought they were the high beams at low output on the LC, just like the LX.

They are -- or I should say were -- on my '03 LC. Still looking for a way to run my OEM fogs independent of the headlights.

Opps, maybe it was high beam, not low beam. Doesn't change the outcome, still no dedicated bulb you can change to a different color.
