Turn your lights to the OFF position. Or get the software update and make the AE's your DRL's

Really? You can get the software upgrade at the dealer, or you can get 4200k PIAA bulbs that will give you a whiter look.
The update should not be more than $180

Bimmian.com offers zenon match bulbs. They will still look a little yellow but less than before.

On a 2005 E60, they must be turned off by the dealer! I personally just changed out the bulbs so they matched better and have never looked back!
