The DRL uses the same bulb as your high beams. If you're trying to get rid of the amber colored DRL, a lot of people use LED bulbs. You can get them from VLEDS or iJDMtoy. Caution when using LED's because you will lose the high beam function as LED don't project light very well. Hope that helps

Ok and I'm seeing ppl saying that they have to disable DRL....
So its a constant LED day and night?

You would disable the DRL only if you don't want them on while you drive. (they are enabled from the factory) Only the dealer can turn them off. Otherwise, the DRL is always on when the car is on. But when you turn on your lowbeams, the drl turns off, hence the name Daytime Running Lights. So when you install LED DRLs, it will be a constant LED during the day. Most people if not all switch to LEDs just for the light color
