Replacement Hi-Beam Bulbs/DRLs

I have an '02 4.6is and wanted to know if there were any manufacturers out there that make replacement hi-beam bulbs which in DRL mode don't look yellow? I just installed AEs and the yellow DRLs look goofey inside the white AEs in the hi-beams. Thanks

The DRLs are yellow because the highbeam bulbs are being fed a reduced voltage for the function. Have dealer turn them off if you do not like the look.

I've seen an e46 m3 with bluish DRL's, I think you need to upgrade the high beam bulb, sorry I don't know any brands or anything. Here it is: http://www.eurotuner.com/featuredveh.../photo_01.html

BB:
He wants the DayLight Running Lights a different color and there is no way really to do it. Lower voltage will always produce a warm colored light.
