Yaris DRL Halogen Bulb LED replacement

Hello,

my wife's Yaris has a factory build DRL using however halogen bulbs.
I would like to change the bulbs with plug and play LED replacements.
Does someone know and use LED bulbs which will fit with no issues?

What I was able to find in the owners manuals is that the bulb is Wedge base bulbs (clear), but it has no dimensions no nothing...

All suggestions are welcomed.

the DRL is the high beam/low beam bulb at low voltage. (in the US) the Wedge bulb is used during normal lights operation. the wedge bulb is a size 194. the high/low is a 9003 or a H4

Here in Europe, DRL lights are using separate bulbs.
I will give it a try to see if I will be able to find something with Wedge bulb size you gave me.
Thanks for the hint.

OK, this turns out to be double filament wedge bulb...
So it looks like, it is type 580 with bulb size 7443. (even though I am not 100% sure)
I am just wondering, why is this info not on the user manual....

Solution found. These bulbs fitted just perfectly and working very well. Instalation took me 3 mins, plug and play replacement of the factory bulbs and that was all. Quite satisfied with the end result.

Finally after some reading I have ordered these bulbs.

Installation was very easy, just plug and play, it took me around 3 mins for both bulbs. The result is very, very satisfactory. The light is amazing, no error lights no nothing. Even now I think that the turn signal is more visible, because it is clearly different from the original yellowish DRL light.
As of now I can highly recommend the bulbs, but I got to admit, they are expensive...

Solution found and works perfectly well.
If someone is interested, please let me know and I will send you more details for the LED bulbs I've used. (I tried twice to post the link here, but I am still waiting on the moderators to approve it, maybe they didn't).
