Why would you want to ? DRL are a safety feature in your car. Turning them off or making them less visible is just going to make your car harder to see.

You can obviously do as you please, as I believe they are not mandatory in the US, but I would think long and hard before modding them.

I believe DRL runs off the reduced (pulsed) high beams so I don't think you can in stock form. You can do what I did when I did my projector retrofit and use the fog lights as DRLs if you have them. The fogs even turn off automatically when I turn on the HID headlights so its yellowish light won't clash with my nice 4300k whites.

You mean extra installed DRL?
I guess this isn't allowed in the USA (at least in Germany not).

Or you would like to have yellow bulbs for the headlight?

There are inter alia the: Nokya 2500K yellow bulbs (but, as far as I know not street legal)

As far as I know the only little bit more yellow bulbs which are street legal (at least in Germany) are: Narva Contrast+ (with (E1)-certification)

You have yellow fog lights?

Not yellow bulbs or adhesive foil?

Street legal with SAE+DOT or (E+number) on the glass?

Which product?

Thanks
