Really? I got a closer look at the bulb and I don't think is LED
May be because mine is a 07?

Your other option is to swap a yellow colored bulb in there like what other's have done. This will give a yellow colored light similiar to rally cars. Or switch to LED...

You can also try talking to your dealer if they can disable the DRL for you. If you are one year over , then there is a fee. Note that some dealers will not do this due to legality issue.
alright, thanks for the info, I guess I will switch those high beams to LED then, I'll try searching over the forum to see how do I do it

Okay, after reading tons of threads on LED DRLs, that leaves me two important questions.

1) I HAVE to buy kits from v-led to make it work? I don't really want to lose my high beam.

2) Any other 9005 bulb will output white/blue-ish color when running @DRL mode?

Do I have any other solutions here? Thanks for the input guys.
