front running / parking lights brighter?

[wwjd]

Yes the front "marker" lights. I would prefer to them light much brighter, kind of like day running lights. Seems like most use a row of LEDs in teh front vents for running lights instead... can those marker lights handle higher wattage and be more useful in the day? maybe I should just get LED row installed instead?

OK, so if I understand correctly, they work as they should but you just want them to be brighter?

Are your lenses clear or amber? If they're amber you'd have a hard time making them look like daytime running lights, even with LEDs.

Mine came with aftermarket headlights, and the marker lights are pretty bright, like DRLs. That may be an option for you, if you want to spend that kind of money. Frankly, if mine didn't already come with them, I would have stuck with the originals. Not that I don't like them, I just couldn't justify spending almost $1k on them.

Are you referring to the "front markers" as your turn signal lights? Let's keep it simple. The headlight unit consist of parking light, turn signal light, fog light, low beam, and high beam. I don't see why you would want the turn signal lights to be brighter but you can change those bulbs to LED if that helps. The term marker is usually refer to the side markers.

If you want DRL, you can try the mod below. It uses the fog lights as DRL.
