It wouldn't matter that much because it's daytime. It will turn off when your headlights are on. right?

I don't think that's what he meant. Changing the DRLs to higher temp will still have yellow because low volts. But if there's someway to run full 12 volts to DRLs you could have HID as DRLs instead of the yellow halogen.

Just turn your DRL off. They are lame looking anyways. Even if they had more power to make them not yellow looking.
