daytime running lights.

I have a 2000 GS3 and is wondering if there's an upgraded light bulb that can brighten up the daytime running lights in the front to match my HID lights. I have already upgraded the M6 bulb but is wondering about the other one. Any suggestions? seems like when I have the headlights off, the daytime light does not have enough juice to brighten up unless the high beams are on.

it's hard, it's normal bulb running at 50% power. if you put in superwhite, it will just be VERY blue during day time...

I have actually tried a superwhite hi-beam bulb to increase the blue/white with my drl's but no go. The power is so low on the drl's that they are yellow no matter what. It sux! I hate that yellow-look!!

disable the DRL

Hey Romy, you said something about disable the DRL. I remember there was a thread before discussing how to get rid off it. Were people here able to successfully disable the day time driving light?
