Its the light between the orange parking lights and the high/low beams, that stays on whenever the engine is on. I know them as daytime running lights on every other vehicle, but they don't seem to be listed on the land cruiser page on sylvania's bulb list.

Anyone know the bulb number?

Linky no good. DRL on the 100-Series is simply low voltage to the high beam. No dedicated DRL AFAIK.
 
Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but aren't the high beams the bulbs located directly below the low beams? The lights I'm talking about are directly inboard of the parking lights. Maybe I'll MS paint up a picture or something.
 
they are 168. And I believe that they have been called parking lights or marquie lights on here. I am sure the FSM would have the "propper" name.
 
They are just additional parking lights, and come on in tandem with the amber corner lights whenever you have the parking lights or headlights switched on. The DRLs, as mentioned, are the high beam bulbs with a lower voltage signal sent through them so they arent at full power during the day.

I replaced mine with amber 168s from VLEDs.com because I was worried about matching the exact shade of my HIDs. Amber matches the corner lights and looks less busy up front IMO, but plenty have gone the white LED route.

(the amber actually matches much better in person...led vs incandescent looks off because of the camera)
 
I was just noticing how the "cones" on mine had yellowed. Any way to clean? Or should I just replace it if I've already gotten into the headlight?
 
That's not a bad idea either. My cones have yellowed too. Pretty nasty looking. I wonder how bad it would look putting white LEDs inside nasty yellow cones.
 
Mine aren't terrible but they have yellowed some, too. I wasn't worried about it since I was running amber, but a decent bright white LED should punch right through it without picking up any tint from the lens.
 
I like the Amber Fuzz. Funny, but I like Amber where it was clear, but I like clear where it was Amber.

open it, retrofit it with TRS components, sea glow the yellow cones, seal it back and enjoy your new found lights;)

It's too early for amber and clear shenanegans, stop with your jedi mind tricks.
 
This sort of hullabaloo has completely derailed poor horseman's light thread. Albeit in a rather amusing way.
