Default headlights

I bought new high and low beams, not HID. They are very bright, I was going for the "white light" look, as close to HID as possible. The only problem is at night, my daytime running lights are on with the low beams, and the colors don't match. The DRL give a "yellowish-goldish" tint while the low beams are white. Anyone know of any bulbs to replace the DRL with to get a whiter bulb that will match?

the lights on at night are not the DRL. its the small 194 bulbs right next to them. i put nice 25led ones in there in a nice warm white color. matches very nicely to 5000k

where should I get some? And I guess you guys are right, they're not the DRL, they're the parking lights, because they stay on with the headlights and they are bulbs no. 194.
