Default Daytime running lights

I just recently put white (i mean WHITE) LED lights on my license plate light and it looks GREAT! I want to make my daytime running lights super yellow, i was wonder is that the same bulb as the daytime running lights? If not, wat other bulbs can i replace the daytime running ones with to make it super yellow.

Thanks

Your daytime running lights are just your HIs or your Brights run at 1/2 power. Those bulbs are size 9005. I don't think you'd want yellow because then if you ever needed your brights they would be yellow!

I think you mean the wedge bulbs and not the DRL's.
