Exclamation 2005 TL DRL to LED?

Hey guys, i just got an 05' Acura TL and I wanted to change my Daytime running lights from the hideous stock yellow colour to a whitish blue colour, and I know I need to install the LED lights but do I need a relay kit? And can it even work on an 05 TL?

Only '07 - '08 TLs have DRLs. The previous model years will require a DRL kit. Here's a DIY on how to install your own DRL kit, but he uses filament bulbs rather than LEDs. I'm not sure if there's a LED DRL kit out there for the '04-'06 model years as I have not researched it.

Pretty sure mine has DRL's, or running lights or something. The bulb in front of the blinker, turns on when you lock or unlock the car? I also want them a different color, lol.

OP, I'm assuming you're in Canada since the DRLs come standard. If that's the case, then you'll find plenty of DIY regarding switching to LEDs using relay harness and resistors.
