Your DRLs are actually your low beams running at reduced output. To change them to yellow, you'd also be changing your low beams to yellow. If you want to do this, many companies sell a yellow bulb that will do the trick.

not if he has OEM HID's. on HID equipped cars, it's the "standard" car's high beams that are the DRLs.

Truth.

In this case, you'd need yellow high beam bulbs.

I don't know where you will find a yellow 1156 bulb. There are tons of amber if orange is close enough, but the Piaa 1156 bulbs make a huge improvement in the DRLs on HID cars.

I don't have pics as i dont have an HID equiped car, but it is a simple swap if you arent dealing with a mitt of footlong sausages. Theres no risk of damageing the bulb if you touch it, just pull the bulb holder off the back of the assembly (middle bulb), push and 1/4 turn the 1156 bulb out and reverse for assembly. My buddy has a 2010, is a borderline retard, and did it in minutes. You can obviously type, so you're well ahead on him.
