Unhappy 2nd generation daylights to match foglights?

what do u need in order to match your daylights to match with the yellow fog lights. is it a balast that you put in your daylights or is it something else please help it looks sweet on the gs430

the drl is halogen, nothing to do with hid / ballast. you can't get it to match, coz' that's high beam at 1/2 the power. unless you put in a 100w bulb for high beam, the drl will be yellow. but if you put in that bulb and then use your high beam, you get smoke for free

Here's how you do it, first you need a harness with relays:

Then you need the bulbs and it is very easy to install.
