Angry Help! i hate my yellow DRL!!!!

hello there everyone, i hate my yellow DRL, i just ordered a pair of HB3 bulb, cause i was told that they are the bulb for the DRL, forgot which thread it was. so i ordered and it came in today, and guess what, they weren't the one, they were for my highbeam.. i was wondering if you guys could tell me which bulb i need to change my yellow DRL into white. a link or a bulb size/name would help a lot. thanks in advance everyone

I think you are a little confused:
your DRL are your high beams on low wattage bulb size 9005
if you are talking about the small bulb next to them is bulb size 194

The DRL, or Daytime Running Light, is the high beam running at low voltage.

Check out Ben_R's diagram in this thread:
