Tiny bulb in headlight
Really simple to replace those 194 bulbs, you can go LED which looks a lot better but the bulbs are absolutely worthless if the DRL feature is working on your vehicle. I could never get over the fact I got 6000k low beams and swapped out those 194 city light bulbs with the closest I could find 6000k white 194’s to match my low beams and still had the yellowish DRL. Found a dealer service tech that was kind enough to turn off the DRL feature for me.

The default DRL is the high beam bulb at a lower power mode. When you turn on your headlight, it shuts off. When you turn on your high beams, the high beam bulb goes to full power.
If you are switching to an LED high beam, I suggest disabling the DRL lights (using the high beams socket) and only use the city lights (tiny bulbs inside high beam housing)
This can be done with Techstream (and maybe carista?)

they claim to work like stock. Low power drl. I haven’t installed yet. I would like all my lights to be white, not yellowish
If I don’t like them I have techstream.
next option will be to buy aftermarket headlights.
When I replaced my well-worn OEM headlights with replacement TYC headlights, I noticed they didn't come with new city bulbs and I didn't care to even have them. So I gave it a shot with the install without any bulbs in those sockets. No issues or error lights on the dash to speak of!
