HI guys,

Since making Angeleyes as DRL is not easy, I was wondering why not change the DRL high-Beam bulb to like Umnitza XENIX or something else. which has Xenon white look. My DRL got accidentally deactivated w/ my last service visit. So have to go next time to get DRL activated. So before that thinking what to do... Currently have XENIX installed, but I cannot see its output unless I have 2nd person to LIFT and HOLD the lever for it to turn on. I assume it should be bright enough

It wont work. I mean it will work but it will still look yellow. That was the first thing I did when I got my car. It had DRLs enabled and I thinking of keeping them on and bough some whiter bulbs and replaced it. They still will look yellow because DRLs are the high beams running on half power so it wont have the outcome you're looking for.
