I replaced the stock daytime running lights with Sylvania Silverstars which are supposed to be white, HID-like but they look very yellow to me, just like the stock bulbs. I saw someone else on this thread that did this. Anyone know what's wrong? I was thinking maybe the daytime running lights has a low power source so the bulbs don't burn as bright/white?

Thanks.

Yes--apparently the DRLs are at lower power. I don't use them.

But if I get those xenon-look bulbs that have the blue coating, will it at least look bluish-white even if the power supply is low?
