I put in 4114 led drl gm in the Google search bar. Yoi can add key words like silverado, or yukon, exc.

Honestly I would get these, $21 ain't bad for a pair of Sylvanias. I paid $60 for mine but that was a few years ago.

Like I've said before I'm out of the drl game so I'm not sure who all makes them. Just ask the seller if it's compatible for drl. Explain why. They don't always know what led works in every single car/truck in the world. That's why they list every bulb it's "compatible" with but all that means is it will fit the base.

Check out this review I found on those:
(titled "Not suitable as a 99-06 GM truck DRL lamp")
I am not a consistent reviewer honestly, but I was inclined to review this item for two reasons. First off I am a car guy, and somewhat detail oriented so hopefully this review will save somebody some time and disappointment. I selected these bulbs due to the description and reviews saying they are perfect for DRL in the GM trucks. It is my opinion they are not, the LED are pointed towards the base of the bulb and rely solely on the reflector behind the bulb. The GM trucks truly aren't designed for this type of a bulb, they rely on the bulb to visible facing forward. To confirm this concern I pulled into my carport which has a white cement block wall. In the past when I pulled in the DRL would be visible shining against the wall until the auto headlights engaged, with these bulbs I pulled in and they were not visible at all! I backed out and inspected the lamps to find one was lit, the other was not, the one was not visible because it relies on the reflector the light is barely visible forward of the vehicle. When I installed them I could not test them because it was dark and my older Silverado does not offer a means to bypass the auto headlights. After reviewing them I realized one did not work out of the package. Just to make sure I swapped them left to right as well as used my old bulbs to test the socket as well. My conclusion: in the GM trucks and suvs prior to 2007 these are not designed to be a safe alternative to the factory style bulbs.

Any of the other styles we have linked to have forward facing LEDs and will work better in our applications.

Lol I didn't read reviews at first. But I would still ask the seller. It's the correct bulb size and now see there's reviews that say it worked for drls. It should have a warranty for that brand :shrug:
Forward facing good for night, reflector facing good for day, so it mainly comes down to what your personal preference is.
Idk but now you got me looking lol

Sweet, thanks guys for all the input on it. I actually found the bulbs you found 05single and was also considering them because they had a good name behind them and were a pretty good price so I'm glad you looked at the reviews W8TVI because I think I would have regretted it lol. 95escahoe are your bulbs white or do they have a blue tint to them? I can't tell for sure from the pics you posted.

Good deal, I pulled up the site and seen they even had the other kind with the projector style on the front. They look like a pretty good company reading through their warranties on the bulbs. I think that's the route I will go as well. I might try the projector style out and see how they turn out. I really appreciate the help, I couldn't find anything before posting about it on here lol. I'm sure this thread will help more than just myself.
