I'm not much of an electrical person
I've read the Headlight mod threads and just don't understand
There are two halogen bulbs in the high beam nacelle, one for the DRL and the other for the High Beam. Is there a way to leave the High Beam bulb in tact and change the DRL to be closer in color to the Low Beam HID and the new 2014 ISF LED Fogs I just installed?

the DRL is actually the high beam headlight bulb. so in the headlight there is the tiny bulb in the upper corner (that is your parking light) it also turns on when your low beams come on.
The high beam also acts as the DRL. Same bulb just lower output. I believe the only option is to make that LED with resistors but you will lose your high beam function.
so basically, the small parking light can be swapped with a basic LED wedge bulb to match your low beam and LED fogs.
The actual DRL/High beam comes on only when your headlights are off or of course when you turn on the high beam

I used these. The "cool white" has a light tint of blue. The "natural white" are just white.
